[QUOTE=terrasmak;8719460]Its a stupid stick on piece, who cares if its expensive, lots of crap is expensive. But the fact remains that its a stick on piece and just as ricy as http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CARBO...Q5fAccessories now if it was a roof replacement , where you cut the factory sheetmetal roof off and replace it (shedding 40 pounds ) it would not be straight rice. Pics of my car are all around, all you have yo do is search.

I just wanted you to post pics i've seen your car earlier I did a little research and it looks like a piece of s***. To each his own. The way i see it is if you have nothing nice to say keep it to yourself.

Awww, someone crying LOL, your just sad that 99% of the people think the bumper looks like crap and hurt that I have no problem calling ricy mods what they are.

My car, i think the only thing done to it just for looks would be the shorty antenna, and it was given to me. Everything else is for function, love it or hate it I have series rules to stay within, and i couldn't care what others think about it.

nothing nice to say or dont say it at all? really? you think you wouldn't get peoples' honest opinions on a forum?

it sucks that your Z looks so nice but the front bumper ruins it.

looks like




That front end is just bizarre. I probably would have liked it when I was a kid, but we all go through that stage...meh, your car dude. Wheels and stance look good at least.

Black grille would look better. A good tip I picked up on the show scene back in the day was that if you are putting on a more "open" front bumper, flat black anything that will be seen through the grille.

So:

1)Black out the grille
2)Flat black your tow hook mount and windshield washer reservoir so they don't stand out so much.
3)Flat black that bumper bar too. I see the aluminum color peeking all the way across.
4)Put an emblem on there (I didn't really read this so maybe you are waiting on 1?)

Other than that, I'd say it looks ok.

Yes it happens all the time. Just not very often on cars without a roll cage.
Ok whats so special about urs? Who the hell cares if it's a "rice" piece? I guess CF lips are a "rice" piece too. It's made to achieve a look... no one said it was for race purposes, stop being an *** and making arguments for such stupids things which is very well documented by other members.

It doesn't work... regardless of how expensive the design is. The GT is about 4inches wider on both sides than the Z, thats why it looks like it's too tall a center section for the Z.

Not the kit I would go for, but I think you pull it off fairly well. I definitely agree on painting the grill though.

^^^Definitely looks good with everything in the grille blacked out. Night and day difference. I'm guessing that's edited to show the OP?

Much better with the blacked out grill. Should be an easy and cheap fix if you wanted to do it.
