Damn man def. looks like they had to do a fair amount of work to get that kit to fit properly.
Are you getting custom wheels? If you are then get ready to have a smile on your face, especially if you have suspension b/c the car will handle/drive as good as it will look. If you haven't decided on wheels yet, look into the concave style wheels.
Are you doing the two tone thing like black hood/roof/trunk?
Are you not molding the kit? I would say mold the rear quarter panels and sides but obviously not the bumpers. A lot of people say that this is probably not the best idea(leads to cracking/breaking) and while I don't DD my Z it does get a decent amount of miles on it, all spirited and has held up fine. I personally can't stand the riveted look on the car unless it's a track/drift ***** that you expect to have to replace every other month, and the bodywork was done for performance reasons not looks.

Concave style wheels, give me some ideas, wouldn't mind some suggestions from others.
Yes I am doing the two tone, window sill all the way back to the hatch and will be black. Keeping the hood white though and the rest down will be white with carbon or black accents.
Not molding in the skirts front and rear bumper, just the rear quarters. The car is pretty much only a show car. Its not my DD either.

Yep, I am going to C and C. I decided to wait on shipping my car to HI until I get situated in a house and know the area.

Went down to drop off some parts. Took some pics of the car. The whole thing should be painted this week and left to dry. Next week she will be put back together.
You can see where there has been some modification to the kit. Where he has had to build up material to make it flush to the lights. Yeah, I know it looks like crap but its still in the process. I addressed the issue.
He is removing my exhaust so he can put the bumper on the car for final fitment. I am having the exuast reworked when its all finished. You can see on the doors the difference in color from the stock paint that was behind the pannels on the doors and the new color.
I am getting ancy, it was hard to see her like that.
Oh and you can see how bad the sideskirts were but they will be hidden by the kick plates.
I just went to post pics up on autoinfantry's page where he is selling the kit to show how much garbage he is selling and low and behold, the page is gone. Doesnt surprise me.

It looks great, i just wish it was done already, he has had it for a very long time but i know that when I get her out of the shop, I will be very happy.
The color isnt what i thought, but pics on the computer look much different than in person. It still looks hot though.

Yeah, I am pretty upset he didnt remove my seats and speaker box.
As far as the hatch, yes he did remove it and the doors when he sprayed them. The car is put back together so that the whole car can be shot now.
