Message To keep this on topic, I don't think your car should be used as an example of a Z32. It's way too highly modified to be considered anything like a Z32. It's the visual equivalent of driving say Ash's Z32 and then attempting to discuss the merits and defficiencies of the Z32 driving experience.

You clearly have alot 'show' work done to your car. I don't mind the color. Yes alot of people want a widebody and I think done properly, it looks very good. The rear valence flows with the sideskirts. The exhusts are a little 'run-of-the-mill' aftermarket. I personally think they're don't fit the rear valence quite right, they look out of place. The hood seems, again, 'run-of-the-mill' aftermarket. I still think the hood on (sorry if I get the name wrong), Seedy's car is the best I've seen. You're rims are well rims. I like the offsets for the most part. Although the rears seem to stick out just a bit, may be the picture. The front fenders don't follow the bodyline of the rest of the car (the vents look tacked on and out of place). I think the pillar pods are a bit overdone today. The front end is a bit too much for me. In fact I'd go so far as to say it does not even seem to follow the lines of the car. Veilside has made good looking kits for many cars but I think the Z32 front end from Veilside wasn't thought out. I think the designer wanted a bumper that looked like the kit for the supra and the result just didn't fit the Z's bodylines. Now it's clear alot of work went into this car and I think the back half was done well. The front end to me looks too much like every other show car (well done but not that much different from the guy next to you). From your profile I assume the interior follows the now standard "import lifestyle" prescription of fiberglass molded box, TV's and Amps. If you're happy with the car then fine. And I'm sure you do get compliments on it.

Just a word to the wise about this forum. It's twinturbo.net. The site is generally intended for performance related discussions and the archival of information regarding methods for working on the Z32 and discussion of the Z32. As discussions go, the vetrans fall into 3 categories. The stock enthusiast, who loves their car as it is from the start. The power freaks. They strive to enhance the output and all-around performance of the car. And the tinkerers. They like to do the research about a problem, present what they think, then show how they tried to do it better.
