Message Okay, I think I may have to download photoshop and try to work on this thing. It is very promising. I am no artist, but I have an eye for things I like. Here goes.

Doors- no, looks like an RX8, I hate them immensely. I am refering to the gap behing the fender. If you push the door out it will make a true wide body car and will look sick.
PS- im glad you didn't add gills on it, that is way rice

You need to move the mouth up a little, that is not very durable. It posses the same problem as the jspec in leaving too much space between the top of the mouth and the nose panel.

Which brings me to my next point, what would the car look like without the nose panel? I know it is what allows you to get at the air filter, but that aside, i think it would smooth out the lines of the car. we have all seen every design possible to make the nose panel look better, and i am leaning towards what Wagz did, and the stock one with no Z emblem

Also would it be possible to get rid of the front fender/wheel fender line? clean it up a bit and smooth it out to match the roundness you are obtaining by smoothing out the wings west design.

Maybe also a bit sharper at the bottom of the fascia, it may look nice with the roundness of the top of the fascia

I love your mirrors, good job

maybe try the top strip between the windsheild and t-tops black. i have seen it done on an orange Z i believe and it looked awesome. i plan on doing the whole roof black, to give it that glass top look. btw i have a aztec red Z with a black tt deck, i think it will look great

I like the wide body you have given it. unlike wagz, it looks like it belongs there. not like someone has simply bulged out the wheel wells, which in my opinion on the Z looks terrible. You idea however looks wonderful. just need to bring the door out to meet it and rid the your Z of that RX8 look

I love the flowing wave line you have in the second pic right at the top of the door and wheel wells. good job on that

love your wing, it doesn't extent to far towards the front of the car likes Wagz, which btw i dislike. I think the the shortness of where it connect to the car is great.

Now the hardest part of all this, the rear end. i have disliked every non-factory rear I have ever seen. they all look like ass. i don't like the small tips you have or when a body kit on the Z encloses the muffles. if i had any artistic talent i would try to design something to mould around them, but alas i do not posses any such abilities. I do however like how you curved the bottom in towards the car rather that letting it hang straight down. the stock rear is a good one and the kits that take away the curves of the bumper do the Z no justice.

I am now wondering after looking at your pic what the rear would look like without the liscense plate slot. perhaps fiddle with that.

Other than those minor(lol) suggestions, GREAT JOB, keep up the good work. And I think I may actually commission you to do what i have suggested just for my own twisted amusement some time in the future when my cash allowences are more abundent
