Horrible Z on Hwy 60 in Mesa Area
Hey, man! Glad you came on this thread to clarify a few things. Obviously, the car isn't my taste, and that's not your purpose in doing it.
When the trunk is finished, I'm sure it will look better. I would have painted it solid until it is finished, since the blotchy black looks really bad, IMO. I'm definitely not the type to critize other cars. In fact, I have well over 1500 posts and this is the only thread in which I've ever made a negative comment about a car. You explained that the trunk is temporary, which is good. The color of the car is not my taste, but the trunk is the main thing that stuck out to me.
What lip is that? I don't personally like the lips that bolt onto the stock bumper, especially in a different color than the car. It just doesn't flow. Also, you might check the lip/bumper, because it was flapping/bending in the wind when you drove. Maybe a bolt is loose, maybe you damaged it, maybe it just does that. It honestly reminded me of the civics that I've seen with cheap bumpers that bend in the wind. I also don't like smoked tails. Once again, just expressing my opinion on the car. I don't believe I said anything about not being functional, btw. The majority of the people on here like it. Of course, they haven't seen the trunk...
Just playing!
Anyway, I have nothing against you. I'm still a nice person, lol. I just didn't like the way your car looks right now. Personally, I would have left it SS, since it looked very clean.

Stop being a hater and worry about your own car. Who cares if u see a Z on the road that you don't like. You don't have to like it. It's not your car. I'm sure there are people on here that don't like your car and would tell you it looks like hell and you would like that very much. You should have never posted this thread bc now it makes you look like the jackass. The car is clean and it's a track car!!! All I can say is you just got royally owned. be the "nice guy" that you say you are and Keep your opinion to yourself next time.
@ this thread!
well lesson learned I guess. Its just funny how he bashed the **** outta my car and then turns around and says it was just the hatch and the lip that bothered him.
before he deletes/edits his post.....
I still dont understand the "body kit" comment. All the car has is the front lip and some custom sheetmetal rear flares

I just couldn't resist taking a few pictures. The camera phone pictures don't really show how BAD this Z really is! The trunk is spray painted black and is very splotchy. The pillars are cheap carbon fiber. The bodykit is horrible, paper-thin, with poor fitment. The purple paint is poorly done, and it's...well...purple. When I first saw it, I threw up a little in my mouth. Then I laughed out loud and took a few pictures to share. Uggghhhh!

We don't use Elite finishes for our work btw. We own our own body shop that has put multiple cars in the past year on pretty much every cover of every import magazine out there internationally, not just state side. They do however purchase from us on a business level.
Both Chris' are good guys. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and MRG is not a hater by any means. He's about classy tasteful mods and function over fashion.

And maybe it's just me, but I'm pretty sure the purple TRACK car follows the function over fashion philosophy more than the OPs...
