Alex Datsun Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 The Hood gives it character Like the fender doesnt already, the bright white and rusted hood arent the greatest contrast added with the fender, just alot to look at but thats just me. Just sayin Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 tape off the whole car into tiger stripes and rust anything that is showing... Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Mocked up the wing this morning, looks sweet as balls. Trying to mount it tonight after class. Edited a couple pics I already posted lol. Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Some mock up pics. Yay or nay? I'm not one for whale tails but I'm actually really digging this. Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Looks like PPK's whale tail, nay. Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 PPK's wing is actually an oem zxr spoiler. I can't tell if this is some old aftermarket option or a modified Porsche spoiler. The guy who I got it from didn't know either. Quote Link to comment
spudly13 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I think it looks a lot cleaner without Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I used to have one of those spoilers. It was on a California wide body car. Definitely after market for the Z, easy way to tell is the hole for the hatch button. Oh, and here's a pic of what a California wide body looks like.... Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm kinda feeling the wing. I think I'll mount it, if I get to disliking it I'll just sell it or trade it for a different one. Quote Link to comment
FiveTenzo Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm pretty happy. Doesn't rub on the passenger side, on the drivers side the rear rubs when I hit bumps and front runs when I turn right, so I gotta trim some more. Got a surprise in the form of a wing as well. Honestly have no clue what it is, came off a car in a field. Might be rare, might not be. I like it and I'm gonna rock it though. Pics up tomorrow, I'm tired and drunk and hitting the sack. what you need is some stiffer springs Mocked up the wing this morning, looks sweet as pussy. Trying to mount it tonight after class. fixed and im not feeling the wing, ive seen others that work tho. and the hood it not my touch either, maybe if it was faded red to match the fender or something or maybe black? just my opinion But loving the build so far, im hoping to get a z one day. keep it up :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 i say rock it but i think it needs a back bumper so it looks "right" Quote Link to comment
jraymer Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 awesome dude! I love it. How does it ride though? Terrible? Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Actually rides really good. Rough on bumpy roads of course, but on average-smooth roads it rides great. Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Did you raise it? Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 wheres the wing....? 1 Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Nope its still the same height. And the wing is on there, just can't see it in the pictures. Quote Link to comment
JZ33 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I feel like I should be able to see that wing in any pics lol have you decided if you like it yet? Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Yep I'm definitely feeling the wing. It's staying on for a while Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm gonna run with the ratty look for a while. My mindset in doing so is: A) it looks cool B) I'm keeping it outside right now. If I put all the time + money into bodywork + good paint (I'm not cheaping out on paint), it's going to get damaged. And I'm gonna be pissed. As soon as I have a carport/garage that I can keep it in EVERY night, I'm going to do bodywork/pearl white paint. The whole thing is going to be sexy. I'm keeping the flares black, might go with a different wing, idk. Depends on how long the whale tail lasts. Enough said. Quote Link to comment
ComicArtist Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 A member of HybridZ just pm'd me and said that I post too much in the 'pics of your wheels' thread. Apparently I'm flooding the thread and I should start a build thread. L O EFFING L My build thread on there got locked in like less than an hour after I started it. Maybe if the thread wasn't full of people asking if 17x7 +45 Motegi's will fit there would be more room for people who actually have pictures of their wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment
