Well, we will be working on the wheels. Currently they are 19x13s in the rear, I don't remember what the fronts are but we haven't been able to find anything bigger. The set of wheels on the Z right now were meant for a Lamb.

Too angular and boxy in places, Doesnt flow witht the lines of the car. It looks like it was made by amateurs in design. Looks like it was made for another car and rigged last minute for the Z. I am sorry I dont see you selling one.
You couldnt pay me to put it on. Sorry to deliver this verdict, but you shouldnt waste anymore time marketing this kit. Go rightback to the drawing board

Screws and Rivets can be molded by your body shop when preping the kit.

sorry, not feeling it. The kit just doesn't do it for the car. It doesn't look like it belongs there in the first place.

The key to a good body kit is to make it flow, the pieces you have there just don't "flow". it looks like you pasted the pieces on the car.

But you never know, maybe someone will buy it just to be different.

I'm usually open minded... but that is just plain silly looking.

Talk about a cheap tacked on look. Jesus at LEAST bondo and smooth the car out...

I agree! I am not a big fan of this kit. I do give you credit for trying. Anyone that widebodys the Z is taking a chance. I am doing it to mine and I have no idea how it is going to turn out. All that matters is that you like it.

1. The front bumper is too square. If you get rid of the black part of it (carbonfiber part) and make it rounder shaped it would look better.
2. The front fender is not perfectly round.
3. The rear fender is too sharp (flaring out) making it look too square. Same with the piece that comes around the bottom in the back.
But other than that it could look good.

its not THAT bad... I think it would look a hell of alot nicer if you fix that "box" lip in the front and mold all the fenders and bumps.
