Your Z = The sex

I love everything you've done with the Z. Add some side skirts and rear kit to complete the exterior, and that's a A+ job. (P.S, if you ever decide to sell your wheels, let me know )

On to the skyline. In no way is this meant to disrespect. It's simply constructive criticism. First off, the side skirts are way too dramatic the lines. In my opinion, they actually ruin the lines. Also, this front bumper...seems to be the same one I see on ricer hondas and fords that buy the "R34" bumper off ebay. Third, the wheels need some work. Although the G35 rims are nice, as they are forged and made by Rays as well, they simply look out of place on the R34.

In summary, my suggestions for your Z are to just finish off the kit. Everything looks perfect on the Z so far. For the Skyline, maybe order the nismo front end with some subtle side skirts, and throw on some LMGT-4s...and that'll be a nice ride

Refer to that FS thread for what i'm talking about with the skyline.

very hot Z...
First I thought the 07 hood is a bit ugly... but now I see it looks much better than the 03-07 hoods...

Btw: Which seat is that? Is it lighter than the normal one? Much ? Theyre damn hot!

Um... Guys. Its not a gt-r, and he clearly took delivery recently.

If my memory serves me correctly, this was sold out of MS? The car
needs a full kit or a replacement set of skirts to match the gt-r front
end. This car has tons of potential, and I am sure it will look amazing
in a few months (after 4-5K..). The real question is, can your buddy
afford to replace the existing motor w/ an RB-26DETT?

Your Z looks perfect. Maybe some veilside skirt add-ons? OR!!!
VARis skirts pretty please... I think that combo would destroy.

Best of luck. You're close my friend. Real Close.

I appreciate your comments. Just wanted to add a few things:

1.) i got some volk gt2 center caps coming, but they were out of stock so i'll have to wait. As much as i like the no-caps look, i sometimes hate those empty holes. I just wish volk made center caps as good as work do for their vsxx series: those are the best.

2.) I still don't know what side skirts to go with.

3.) the white skyline is the GTT model, not the GTR one. They are completely different cars and the price is way lower on this one. He got it around 30-40k from some guy in New Orleans in this exact condition, minus the cracked windshield which was damaged during delivery by the truck driver, but they're willing to pay for it. The cost of a JDM windshield like this is well over 1k, whereas a Z windshield is about 180-250 bucks. He hasn't read any of these comments and I won't show him this thread. But he knows about most of the things you all mentioned, esp. the skirts, and he will replace them eventually. He's planning on getting a full GTR kit, including the wide rear fender flares. The wheels are not from a g35 necessarily. A g35 in Japan is a skyline, so those are pure skyline rims if anything, they are just not from a GTR which we're all used to seeing.
