Love it,especially the eyelids. I actually think the eyelids is what set your car apart, in a good way. Maybe a front emblem would look just a little better. Other then that its studdly.

You have the first Z that I actually like the eyelids on. Lose the front license plate and it would look sick .

Yeah lose the plate, you may never get a ticket for but it's still not a moving violation so it won't go against ins.

Well done tortuga, your car looks very hot and modded, yet conservative. Awesome wheels, they look great on a PPW. IMHO i'd lose the eyelids though.

Thanks for all the input everyone. The more I think upon it and look at my car, the more I feel I should just leave as is. I will probrably get some overlays next for the rear lights and maybe a very light overlay for the headlights.

As far as the license plate goes, I may give it a try without and see what happens.

<3 the eyelids. I personally would only have put them on black but they definitely don't look bad. I'm in a bone stock 3 day old silverstone, so I'm not one to judge ;-). I aggree with slapping another emblem on the front to interrupt the spacial monotony, but if a clean classy look was your aim, then leave it just the way it is. A quiet aggressive look offers much more than loud aggression. That's my 2 cents for the bank!

Not feeling the eyelids...but overall car looks very clean. And it looks like they know how to match paint in TX...

I've been there, is that near the mall by chance?

I took the pics just off of 360, near 183/Arboretum area. I would like to get a digital SLR for some much better pics, I am just using a cheaper Kodak (2 yrs old). Paint match was very good, PPW with the metallic flake and pearl color is hard to match. Anderson Lane Body Shop did an excellent job, a little higher than average prices but you do pay for experience and quality.


For everyone..What rear skirt or bumper should I get? What would go well with this kit? If I get the Nismo rears I would definitely get them molded into the rear bumper for a nice clean look. Any other ideas/suggestions?

i live about 5 to 10 minutes from there in Bedford. , its very nismo as is with the bumper sideskirt and spoiler, might as well finish it off. as for molding the rears, its not really necessary if the costs of prohibitive, does look tight molded though. I love the V1 and Ings half rears alot. Not sure how those would flow with your nismo skirts.

yeah man, now that's what I'm talkin about!! That is mucho hotness! +1 on the whole paint the lower part gunmetal/black or whatever....although I disagree w/ you thinking it looks 'naked' as is. its awesome oh and leave the eyelids man... like that other dude said, it's what sets your car apart from every other clone w/ a nismo type kit. keep up the good work
