Funny thing is I've never met or talked to him but I have to name my first born after him!

Thanks to everyone for the compliments. First some answers to the questions:

Fender rolled?: No and not really a problem. That said, I was hoping to get that done while this kit was being put on, but ran out of time.

Suspension:Eibach Pro Kit (1.2" in the back and .8" in the front)

Fog Lights: This is a little strange. The kit came with all of the electronics for the foglights (including a remote control!) but no fog lights. Unfortunately there was not enough time to obtain and put them in (the car was picked up today) but the front bumper has to come off before it reaches SEMA anyway so hopefully they can be done then. When I post the pictures you can see the AEM filter and the washer fluid reservoir.

Light Covers: Good question. I had the exact same dilemna when I had my 240Z and had painted covers to put over the lights. I ended up using small "bolts" and anchors and could get them off in about 60 seconds. In this case I'm not sure. It looks pretty cool with the covers on but obviously not very practical. They came with two sided tape but again, that just doesn't make any sense. I included pictures with and without them so that you can see the difference.

OK, I think that's it for now. Here come the pictures...

looks great! i think on any color other than black it would be a little bit too much for my taste but the black hides the lines and subdues the kit a bit. looks great... especially with those wheels. =)

Hmm, have you thought about velcro strips. I saw some at my local home improvement center that were clear (well, actually translucent)

Holy ****! I thought I was looking at the best Z I've ever seen from the initial shots, but then you had to post the front view.

Seriously, swap out that front piece and it'd be the sweetest looking Z on the board IMO.

Nothing wrong with constructive criticism and I certainly appreciate it. I also agree that the mesh (and the tow hook) should probably be painted black. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the car had to be put on a car carrier the same day it was painted (I never even got to drive it!) and the concensus was to keep it silver and see how it looks. It wouldn't make much sense to paint the grills black (which would have been a lot easier as they could have just painted the whole thing black instead taping off the grills) and then paint it back to silver to see how it looks and then possibly repaint it back to black (ie 2 steps vs 3 steps). In defense of the silver mesh though, it actually does look quite a bit better in real life. If someone could photoshop the mesh "black" to see what it would look like, I would really appreciate it. In any event, more than likely, the main grill will no longer be there by the time it shows up at SEMA anyway...

BTW, I would also be curious to see what the front would look like without the extra "lip" on the bottom of the front spoiler so if anyone would be willing to pshop that, it would really be appreciated also. Thanks.

Yeah, pics on a message board are one thing. I'm sure in real life my jaw would just drop when I saw the car regardless of the mesh.

That looks sweet, but as someone else posted, it looks a little too aggressive IMO for the street.

Here's another kit that I like, which is a little more subtler:

by that do you mean that you would like to see the bottom part without those 2 ducts (ie. if they wwere filled?)

or do you mean without the bottom lip totally

if you mean the latter then it would look too high wouldnt it??

wow...that kit that CBsuper posted..is that a full bumper or just a lip

and is that kit in production?..there are a lot of things on vizages.com that arnt even available
