thackattk..how did you manage the sponsership on the kit
I got my doors done by carxs. I basically live right down the street from the shop and I started hanging out with the guys at the shop and we became good friends. When they wanted a show car to represent their shop, I was right there to volunteer

are you going with one color or 2-3-4 tone??
Not really sure what color the car is going to be painted yet. We have several ideas. Once the color is done we have ideas for some air brushing, and ghost paint. I basically told them to do what they wanted

and aslo..you keeping the 7 mods or getting new ones??
They will be sold. The car is going to SEMA next month and might have to ride out to Vegas (trailored) on the axis sevens. We are getting sponsored on wheels and tires but aren't sure if we are going to pick them up at SEMA or if they're going to be shipped here. They wheels are being specially made and we're not sure when they're are going to be ready.
Contact Ean at carxs for purchase information. His number is (727) 216-7878

We know exactly what we're up against. The 350Z is not winning shows right now. We're going to change that.

Check out this eclipse that Jerry did (the guy that's doing my car)
http://www.carexcess.com/vdc/decah-eclipse.html

It's winning major shows (best of show) in the southeast, even against stock skylines. BTW, the eclipse has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. The whole interior is painted to match the car.
Yes, that is Lemans Sunset paint in case anyone was wondering, except with zero orange peel!

You know WHY Micky's black lambo door Z didn't win at the show, because we did NOT even bother signing up for the show competition!!! We were too busy having his and Shawn's Z (Silverstone Z) at our (Evo-R) booth we didn't even bother entering the show. I'm sure we would have won if we enter the show!!!

Please, oh please, smooth out those stupid divets on the wide body fenders, especially since you're molding them on!

Ok, then you'll have the best wide body out there, even better than Veilside's ugly POS.
