Yeah, quite a few people on here want one. They aren't bad looking at all but I would be scared that my Z is getting hacked up.

Well executed.

No points for style though.

Ok, so you do a targa conversion. You're cruising around and decide to go topless (not that topless, pervs). Where the F do you put the top? It would require some rear hatch/rear strut brace modification to make it fit back there.

So whats so bad about our Z car?
The rear hatch is off the car to show off the stereo work the whole reason the car was built was for the CES show in vegas to show of the stereo. Why keep the factory hatch on there with it sticking up in the air screwin up the body lines? The factory hatch still snaps on the car to seal it up. there are 5 18" sub-woofers fiberglassed into the car. not alot of room after that was done. The value of a car and what a car would sale for are 2 diffrent things the car being insured for 100k is the price I consider it worth. Car won't sell for more then 50k imo it's an 03 with about 10k miles on the car itself the entire car has been customized front to back. To each his own in style is what we say all I know is we dont have to photoshop our car with a targa top we just built it. There are alot of cars out there that our diffrent and thats what was tring to be done a full custom car. Some may like the look of there cars one way otheres another. Again to each his own, Let the haters hate. The companies who it was built for enjoyed the care and was a perfect car to show off product like it was built for.

Custom gaskets have to be made to seal the car
new interior for the interior parts made
a new targa holder for the roof
Structuring a few points on the car etc

Nothing wrong with the targa top. The car itself could be 10 X better, with new wheels and a better choice in paint. A different choice in exhaust wouldn't hurt also. But in the end, It's your car not mine. My car isn't all that great, i have forum people tell me so.
But then its just some suggestions. It's what a forum's all about. I also live in oklahoma, would like to see it up close. Maybe those are just some not so great pictures? Do you have any other pictures, you can share with us?

Is there any motor work done?

that would be In your opinon of the paint. The paint gets complments every single day at the shop Were not trying to build whateveryone out there wants your style and the guy next to you could be 2 diffrent points most of the time we see this from people who can't do these type of things or the people that build there car on the one day budget. This car was built in a total of 2 1/2 months by 4 people. while at the same time runnig a bizzness. who looks at stock paint or a solid color at car shows of the caliber that this car goes to isnt somethin that is looked for a graphic paint is more of what is brought to the eye and is seen by the general public and how the car was built to show off work that our shop could do.
