Hmm... The only thing that doesn't make it 100% SCHWEEEEET is the white hatch cover thingy

Other than that, NICE!

Cosmo Donk never has liked these, but I think they're kinda cool. I also like the 2nd rear spoiler (see 2nd pic below)

Hey - how bout the slotted rear glass cover instead Cosmo Donk

Hmmmm...This goes further to reinforce my point that all body kits suck.

However, I do like the interior, but the engine leaves a bit to be desired...

Nice and clean and not too ricey.

Wonder if matching color glass stripes would look good? I think the 3000GTs I've seen it on look pretty sweet.

I agree - keepin' it nice 'n' clean looks the best.

Thanks for the complements.

It looks good. I don't like erebuni's rear valence though. The piece over the hatch doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. As for the body colored glass stripes, vaughnc, I have them on my car, red, and I really like how it looks on the front and back. I don't have any good pics on my computer, but I will have to get some.

-----You mean those goofy lookin' things on old Camaros and stuff? I would never have one of those either but I have never seen a glass one so I have no idea on that one
I wouldn't do the white center caps personally. Either all white or no white

Can't remember offhand who makes the hatchback winguard spoiler, but it's FC3S specific - I'll look around for the company that sells. (why don't they just put their @#^@# web address in their advertising pictures anyway).

tjc74
I've got some matching color painted wheel pics (not OEM with centercaps) that look pretty sweet. I'll try to post a pic here later tonight.

RXefini
Please do post a pic of the painted glass stripe - I'd love to see how that looks.

Cosmo Donk
I think you'd have to get one of these before the rear glass slotted cover would look good (this is about a ricey as it gets - should'nt this be a $15K mariah kit anyway)

I agree with everyone else. That back shield should go. But the kit is really nice. I like the side skirts. And what is that car behind the 7? Not the thing across the street, I mean parked behind the 7 with the shogun front end. I'm just curious.

The "second" spoiler, the one that follows the roof looks alright I suppose. As long as it doesn't rise higher than the roof, it looks fine. But the car with the lamborghini flip up doors! that's insane!! That is really an unbelievable job, not to mention a fortune... Wow.

Nice kit.. I agree you should go with white 5 star wheels. That'd look sweet.. And the car behind his is a Nissan 300ZX with a kit..

Thanks again for the compliments, I think I will be painting the centers of the wheels white, and leaving the lips polished.

As far as the interior, it started out blue, I installed all of the black along with some parts out of a 90. I plan on fabbing some polished alluiminum around the gauge cluster and all through the center around the heater all the way down to the glove box. I will also be wrapping the seats (front & rear) in black leather with white piping.

The car behind mine is my brothers 90 300zx here are some better pictures, we were all heading up to Atco dragway sunday until the Civic tried to get some of the RX and blew his engine (SI's B16) he was also squrtin some juice. Needless to say I still won.

I think the Pinzettis would look great w/ a white center and while you are at it PLEASE chuck the lug covers and get the optional cone insert and socket lugs that match. That looks much better in my opinion.

I was thinking about that also, tail lights and the lug covers.

Here are some shots I took today.

Nice 300zx. Really like the body kit. That must have been one heck of a sight. Going down the highway, then all of a sudden, seeing 3 kitted out cars on the side of the highway with a cop behind them all. If I were going by, I'd be tempted to think that you were all busted racing or something White caps would look nice on your car I think. And I saw someone mention clear tail lights. You guys have seen euro tail lights for second gens? Cuz I haven't. I only see them for 3rd gens. One more thing. What's with your headlights? Does your hood slope down more than the factory hood or do you have lazy lights?

it looks tight, but I'll change 2 things:

1) headlights(no winking)
2) rims(white ones)
