Hey guyz, I just dropped the car off at Hot Wheels Imports in Marietta Ga, Its a shop recommended by sharif to get the car painted and cleaned up a bit, They are the ones who painted the Flatt Black 350z that forged also built. I guess what im asking is do you guys think that my car is Qualified to get into Import tuner, Modified magazine or any "big" magazines. If you dont think it is please let me know what you would prefer. My only thought is maybe a different set of wheels since te37 Time attacks are a little over played. but they run very well with the car in my opinion. The car is getting a new PPG Paint job, there doing Lamborgini black so i thought now would be the time if ever to get in a Magazine.

Thanks for the imput guys

Also if anyone has any suggestions on who to contact about it that would be great.

Thanks guys!

im open for criticism so the flame suit is totally on!

 

I think your car is magazine worthy.

 

Saw your car at the dyno day in May. Very good, well rounded setup.

As far as critiques, I'm not sure the hood quite suits our cars, and maybe add something to the rear to balance it out. Other than that, its solid!

 

f@@k yes !

 

Thanks bro^ yeah i get alot of mixed feed back on the hood. What would you suggest? back to stock? Oh and the rear is the Do-Luck Rear now the bottom photos are old i just put them in so u could see how the car sits.

 

god damn! what do you do at 19 that you have money to build a car like that? car looks awesome but i think the engine bay could use some work. maybe remove the engine cover and show off the cosworth plenum.

 

custom headlights.
door handles
wing - this car has the power for a salad bar !

wiper shave ! < - yes i know that is killing me LOL

 

Nothing at all wrong with a OEM hood. You could even do an OEM-style CF hood if you wanted. If you wanted to do something different with the wheels, maybe do a set of GT30's like Sandy has on her G37. Just my two cents .

 

I have been debating shaving the rear wiper. and now would be the time to do it since its getting painted... What does everyone else think? Also here is a pic of the Motor, Its a shitty iphone picture but its the best i could do:/

 

I would change the hood and maybe go with some carbon fiber on the hood, rear hatch and fenders while ur at it. Other thn that the car is sick man. Black is hard to attract attention so you have to with the whole stealth, functional angle. Which IMO you have already got that covered. GL either way and nice car.

 

For a magazine shoot i would get rid of that engine cover and slap on a rare jdm harness cover then add a ARC catch can.

 

I was thinking about removing the engine cover and doing the "JDM" polished aluminum "thing" they were selling on the Marketplace here, i just dont think it would look to good because i dont have many Poslished things under my hood. Maybe it would loook better with the cosworth being in a Polished finish? Idk,:/

Oh and I recruit insurance agents. Want to sell some insurance?

 

^ a pretty catch can is a good idea,, Maybe do the cosworth polished, JDM harness then a catch can.

 

a cool video with real stats would be awesome !

 

Ive got a few cool videos on facebook lol but i have no clue how to load them up on here :/ just Highway pulls, and two drag videos ( no i dont street race I got a 8 mo old )

 

Who took the first set of pictures?

 

^19 y/o with a kid? Damn, good luck dude.

 

did that. hated it. but now i have a job i love!

 

I think your car looks sick as it is. What i recomend is some more chrome/polished parts under the hood and a different hood, another carbon vented style would look good.
