Default My Endless love build

hey guys,
My name is Osmar some of you guys might know me from fb or ig (go follow me if you havent yet at Osmar_Z33 ) The Z was my dream car and I was lucky enough to be first owner of a 2008 Nogaro HR and 1998 240sx Kouki as my Daily...Mods were coming in slow because quality>quantity...Just finished paying off the Z a few months ago so I let the mod bug take full control lol...The car will be going to the shop in 2 weeks to be chopped up and painted. I am getting it ready to track it at Summit Point Racing WV. So hope you enjoy my build and I would appreciate any suggestions or tips. Thanks.

You mentioned wanting to do custom fenders, from your rendering it looks like the amuse fenders and skirts... I was thinking along the same thing, but from the research I've done the amuse kit is slightly wider than the front bumper and I'd like to keep my V3 skirts... I'm going to look into having a body shop custom fabricate some vented fenders in a similar style as the amuse widebody.

I'd never consider Amuse "widebody." I'd hardly consider garagemak "widebody" as well.

LOL Teddy, I would have to agree with you... Just trying to differentiate the superleggera from the other kit amuse offers. I've seen it pretty commonly referred to as the amuse "widebody".
