the bumper molded looks very hot. i wish i had the funds to get some wheels and the body kit.
do you have the full kit and if so where did you get it from? how was the fitment and quality of the kit? is the body much lower than it was with the stock bumpers?

i'll post more pictures in a little while after i get out of the shower.

Looks good on the front. Do you have to get it with the Carbon Fiber Canards (Right or are they splitters? Dunno the term.) Or are those added on. I really think I might go with that front bumper... Althought I doubt they make it in Ureathane. Drat.

damn for some reason they look really bad after i resized them. i used microsoft photostudio and just resized them by pixel size. i did have to resize twice because i changed it to 800x600 first thinking that was the max picture size. anyone know a better software or something to resize pics?

Do you know if he's going with the car? My car is also going to Puerto Rico. Loading on a ship the 26th in Jacksonville. They're flying me to San Juan on the first. It'll be nice to have a fellow Z owner there to hang out with.

hrmm.. I like the overall look of the car, except that lil apron thing ruins it for me. When you buy the kit, does that come attached to the rear? Is there a way to take it off?

Where did you guys get your kits from?
