i see you changed your car and lost the TA. looks good acutally. just need FI. you have the "show" but still lack the "go".

i always frown on guys who spend all their money on their car for looks. your car looks like it had 500hp. but is slower than stock.

but still props on the new look. i love it.

I agree... i think a couple of the posts here are a bit hypocritical..

i have nothing against Andy.. but i remebered when VenomZ posted pictures of his car.. alot of people were flaming him for being over the top..

i think even some of the people flamed VenomZ are saying Andy's car is great.. i think thats being a hypocrite .. just my humble opinion

Andy's car is always well balanced and tasteful.

The car pictured above looks horrendous and takes away from the Z's original styling cues. The graphics on the exterior look like a tribal tattoo of some sort while the interior does not flow with the car as well. There's too many different colors working throughout this project. This guy obviously put alot of money in to his Z with quality work no doubt, but it was just not executed properly in my opinion. All of your different after market parts that you choose need to work together to maintain a cleann ride. You don't want to over-do the Z or change its natural personality. Again, this is my opinion and this is why we all have different looking Z's.

The biggest difference between VenomZ and Andy's ride is purpose.

Andy's ride is over the top.... for a street car. However, it's already been mentioned he will be tracking the car. Andy's car also follows suit of creating a replica of track cars. Also, remember that Andy's body kit is CF, much lighter that the widebody. Then there are the wheels, 18" light weight track wheels. Interior... bucket seats w/ harness and harness bar. No fiberglass sub enclosure. Graffics on the car, paid for because he's sponsored.

Not knocking VenomZ's ride, but what's it's purpose? The car is over the top for a street car and we know it's never gonna see a track. I'm sure VenomZ's ride was designed to be a show car. That's great, but for some of the enthusiast on this site, function over form will always rule.

hm...just an FYI...Andy's car is one of the fastest N/A Z's I've ever sat in... And I've sat in a lot...... The way the car is right now, it eats up E46 M3's as easy as I eat 'em little vipers...

Actually, I just recent installed a system but MethodRN just took a wild stab that I didn't use any fiberglass and he's right. I have (2) 10 inch subs installed and did not use ANY fiberglass work as I wanted to concentrate on installing the stereo equipment in the center of the car for better balance while minimizing the weight of the equipment.

Good guess Jr!

OMG I can't believe I forgot! Brian and Philip @ Mackin Industries were a huge part of this as well. If it wasn't for Philip, I'd probably be only running around with the front PMU kit, lol!
