front clip is finished. side skirts are also completed. the first prototype pieces have been made and they match up to the original mold design very well !!! i didnt have my camera.. i will try to post images next time i go there...
the rear pieces are still being designed and will need the car present for alignment purposes...
more updates soon..

Update 2/16/04
Diffuser Build up images...
Joe (the dude pictured here) is my good friend from UCLA, he's one of the guys helping me on this project. he's a Mechanical Engineering graduate that worked with me when we were both on SAE Mini Baja project... and he likes my Z just as much as i do...
we're using autoCAD, and solidworks to do fluid analysis... here's some teaser picts. (cough cough Dave)
interesting facts:
stock muffler has a 6 degree gradual slope (ding ding: this is from the FACTORY. which is practically one of the most ideal slopes for a diffuser.. ) so we're basing this diffuser project around the slopes of the stock muffler, but extending the air channels further back to allow more air to go into the channels. those with the stock muffler.. there is no need for an additional diffuser.. this is only for those to have changed to an aftermarket exhaust system.
i'll have picts of the aerokit (CF body kit..) soon. as soon as Fiberimages is done....
