thanks, but curious. Which other mods are "different" besides the Do-Luck kit? Oh and besides the stereo/cage too since that was our own design of course.

obviously the audio.. but also the Baer brakes, the choice of rims, the Magnaflow exhaust.. the nitrous (?) system with the Vortech.. not too many people have chosen those mods around these forums.

Audio: my best friend/head of this project (Darron Shubin) has been putting together and designing tastefull but moderatly extreme (oxymoron?) stereos and platforms for stereos for years. Alot of shows and mag coverage in his past vehicles. He talked to SWISS AUDIO which is the sister co. of audiobahn which he has friends, and he got the products he needed and it went from there

Wheels choice: Dazz motorsports chose the rims for me. I like em'
Youll be seeing my car in Dazz motorsports ads pretty soon after they decide on the picture and a design they want...

Magnaflow exhaust: the guy head of this project (Darron Shubin), is the Sales manager for Magnaflow. so even though Magnaflow has a great exhaust for the Z. They wanted to do a custom exhuast for this car since the car will be on the magnaflow website and other ads involving Magnaflow...etc www.magnaflow.com check out the link they photoshoped my car orange for the front page...and look deeper in the site youll see a layout of my car

Brakes: Sema show came around and we talked to Baer and they were interested in designing a brake kit for the Z. So after the CES show in Vegas we eventually shipped the car out to Arizona where the Baer Brakes shop lives and they went to work in designing and fitting it to the Z. I LOVE those brakes! Looks unreal (stands out with my dark wheels) and of course im in serious controll whenever i need to brake. Top quality stuff! I was impressed!

Thanks for posting up more pics. I've been admiring your build as we have some similarities in the look/design of our cars. You've done an outstanding job.

Very, Very nice job!!

Now I know why Paul over at Dazz didn't wanna talk to me about my show car...haha.

Seems like you have all the sponsors I wish I had. Very nice build, maybe we'll bump into each other at a show later this year. If my car ever gets done **cry**

At least I was lucky enough to get the last vizages rear spoiler in stock at JP Aero.

honestly i have no idea...sorry. Google it and do a search and im sure youll find a price.

As far as "lemans350zed" it says your in TAMPA? So you come out to shows out here? If you see me/my car at a show dont be shy...come say hi!
and im sure your doing great but a side note in getting sponsors... its ALL in the proposal

take care and good luck with your project!
