It reminds me a bit of an Audi R8 from a profile, or a rreeaaaalllyyyyy stretched audi TT coupe, maybe thats why i dont favor it, I am not too much for things that resemble other cars. I dont know thats just my thought, i can be wierd about little things like that at times!!

I think the price is very reasonable, cutting out most the DIY and making it very "kit-like" makes it well worth the money for those folks that arent very.....well.... DIY saavy.

from me!
Yes, I think I will leave it as a kit form. Very true about the R8 look. It for sure changes the look of the car.

To me it seems a bit odd and the fitment from the side view seems a bit off.

Thats funny, I have had people at drive throughs notice it in 5 seconds.


The fitment can be spot on. It all depends on the install. The top view was done one day and the side view was done on another. I had to hurry on the side view. (It was windy)

Warren, No joke- But this is in the works! I have had many people say do the roof black. Nice call. After all, we are all hear to change the look of the stock Z, RIGHT? The nice thing about Vinyl is you can just take it off..

Hey, dig it:

For people who have CF hoods... how about a piece that straightens up the lines from where the hood turns in from the glass to line up with that too. You feel me? From the windshield straight into the lines of the hood.

Good point. Possibly you could offer two options, just the graphics with instructions (just a link to a .pdf file) or a kit with graphics and all the supporting stuff you describe?

Anyway, I like the look.

I prefer stock while my wife liked your mod.
$40 is the upper end of what I'd find reasonable given what the kit would include
and it would be a deal if it included shipping.

To me, it makes the back end look too thin abovethe tire, like the body is thin
when compared to the rest of the car. My wife thinks it makes the car appear
longer than it is.

Good luck with your idea tho

Yes, I found it does make the body look longer. After having it on my ride for a month now, I can't imagine it off. The comments have gone up alot from people, mostly non 350z owners. I really don’t run into make 350z people in my area.
