Default Just got my Z back...

After ordering my kit months ago and FINALLY deciding on a body shop....SHE IS DONE!!


ALOT of thanks goes to Sixteen Customs in Gardena, CA for doing SUCH a great job and taking alot of care, as well as fellow members for their advice/recommendations for both the kit and the shop
(I'll get some better pictures once it dries up around here!!)

I like the kit, but you could do better on your rim choice.
To each his own...

* A+ for originality

* F for the wheels, tail lights and STi wing.

* overall C-

oh, i love the hood but it clashes with the lines of your bumper.

not a big fan of the big mouth bumpers unless you have FMIC behind it.

Wow that bumper is very GT-R. I do agree it does scream for a FMIC, damn that would be soo sexy. I really like those sides too. I know the rear goes with the rest of the kit but it is a little much for my taste. I don't have any beef with the wing. Hood is cool but might be a little much with the rest of the kit. Unless you were seriously boosting.

Not a fan of the wheels or taillights but I don't hate on people who dare to be different from 99% of the 'safe' mods on here. Props.

Thanks for the pics!

Thanks anna for the KIND comments...don't quite understand why people have to be so rude - jealous, I guess ; )
Yeah, the rear is not my fav part of the kit, but the front I loved.
The hood...oh the hood...I have had so many issues with this Seibon cf hood, but I thought I'd atleast try to blend it in with the rest of the car (fits like CRAP!) - the front is actually two tone and the hood compliments it.

I'd love to get the APS TT sys BUT I have two other cars that are more my interest - the Z's my daily driver - and would rather spend the money on the kit for my Vette - 700hp vs 400hp...I'll take the 700!!

They are AWESOME!!! Hiro is GREAT! I barely even explained to him what I wanted - never even picked out the color for the two-tone - he just read my mind!! I even got a dent in my car and he called to let me know his dent guy was there if I wanted to have it fixed - who does that?!! Talk about customer service!!
Infact, thank YOU for recommending them!!

looks good. i think the rims are throwing everyone off. if you tinted the windows and changed the rims, it would change the entire look. also, maybe smoke the tails. but overall it looks good. very original.

Honestly all in all your car looks good! Like everyone said the rims=mehhh and some TTs would back up the looks, BUT like you said it's your DD and dang you got a 08 vette to mod. It's easy for me to understand your choices. I admit it, I drool over two domestic cars a c6 z06 and DeTomaso Pantera. Not sure if the Pantera is considered domestic; it had a Ford V8.
