Oh lord that rear fender.

Cancer.

 

I'm starting to believe Japanese tuner shops / body companies are trying to hack up the beautiful Z lines as much as possible, almost like it's a sought after style. Make it as goofy as possible and it looks better to them

 

I was talking with the guy at ZdayZ that had the kit on his car, said he was looking into running 18x13 up front and 18x15 in the rear. I will say the rear fenders made his car look craaaaazy wide from behind.

 

How did you feel about the kit in person? Did the rear look like overkill?

Dammit I knew I should have went lol

 

Honestly mixed feelings about it, he didn't have an undershroud, so you could look straight down through the front bumper and see the ground (he said he was planning on making one though), and the kit didn't sit as flush as that blue one, but it looked totally different from every other Z there, which was a nice change of pace, and it was freaking wide too.

 

No undershroud or no fender lining can be dangerous @ high speeds.. Ouch

 

i wouldve rather spent my money on lq4/ls power than this rocketbunny disaster of a money pit......cost to paint...ship......cut up than means no going back......=(

 

That's a totally different can of worms. This is for the die hard JDM enthusiast who doesn't want your average flavor of the month bolt ons...

 

It's really not that expensive for just the fender flares.

 

true front fenders are cheap to buy the part.....but you need to factor in paint + labor + attaching back to the car......

and the rear wide fenders are drilled into the rear quarter panel......I don't think thats cheap to replace back to stock lol.

imagine trying to sell the car and people don't like the look of the body kit........disaster.....

 

I don't think anyone who mods this deep thinks about resale for 1 minute

 

Any idiot who buys a car and thinks about resale shouldnt be buying a sport car nor should they be modding period.

 

Fixed.

 

glad I'm not the only one that feels this way.

 

Much credit to you for aspiring to own a custom toy Z. Though this isn't my style of subtly and understated sport styling, it is sick from the original renderings from RBZ. Hope this works out for you. I think the fender flares are sick, but wheels and stance will make or break the outcome of your vision. That front end is sick too.

Side note:
What a money pit this is...the value of the mods will def exceed the value of the car itself.

Must be nice to be single and play with toys all day. Oh, is that my wife nagging me about money and savings again, gotta go...but sub'd!

 

Everyone is going crazy over that it. Looks like hot gahbage.

 

Any update on the build? You were supposed to be the first person to have this body kit. It would be nice to see some pictures of it complete and a short description on the drivability of the Z with the kit on.

 

Not even close, there are a few people in the states with it now. One guy showed at Zdayz

 

Just so happen to be watching the video now....

 

fender gap is awful. Looks like he tried to match the fender line up with the headlight and compromised the bumper to fender gap. Either way the fenders front to back dont match up at all. Sort of feels like a hodgepodge / mix and match kit. Just disappointed in the RB people.
