Default New parts...check em out...

So I just got my JP Type N bodykit put on and painted along with the Axis SuperHiro 19 inch wheels. The kit fit pretty nice overall. The rear lip was the biggest pain out of everything. Its still not perfect but itll do for now until we can figure out another way to make it better. The driver side skirt fits different then the passenger for some reason but nothing a little tweaking here and there didn't fix. Overall I'd say a 9/10 fitment. Thanks to Kwame over at Z-1 for helping me out with the kit.

I got the wheels from Charles at RX Motors and he helped me out a lot on the tire sizes and brands. Thanks again guys. Awesome service.

Anyway here's some pics I took today by my house. Hope ya enjoy.
I had 3 people come up and ask me which magazine I was taking pictures for haha. And a cop drive by and give me the evil eye but didn't say anything.

Enjoy

Your paint blend is off . It's ok mine's is too. It's pretty dang tough to paint match. Body kit is a bit aggressive for me. Change out that antenna!

Honestly...it's pretty dead on. What you're seeing here is a non waxed, non completely cured, clean (not a lot of dirt/dust) body kit. The car body itself was dirty, has swirl marks, is waxed and polished (plenty of times prior) etc.

I think once he gets a good coat of wax on there and maybe clay's the original paint before hand and the whole car is clean you'll see it's more spot on than what these pics are showing. I've seen the car both at night and day w/ the kit and honestly I don't think they could have gotten any closer to matching.

Not trying to flame you but just saying why it "appears" to be off.

^^^ what he said. in person it looks perfect. some people have asked me how much it cost to repaint the WHOLE car thinking that i did. hopefully once time passes and I can get a proper wax and clay on the whole thing it will look better.

jw...what picture does it look off to you? they all look pretty dead on to me... but i could be biased haha

J...some of the "still" shots you can see and ever so slight difference. And that's really stretching it a bit.

Your Z33 is nice but simple, as the look you have is all too common. You really need something else to really set it off (I can't really put my finger on it). You could use a more aggressive drop stance, which would compliment the setup dramatically. Nevertheless, your headed in the right direction. Good luck

thanks! its only the start. drop probably wont happen to soon. the roads and construction out here in chicago area just isnt practical for a super aggressive drop. once i get a nice DD i probably will though. but to common? i dont see to many of these kits....oh well. thanks for the compliments.
