to be a show car. This will lessen (sp) the bash. The kit isn't my thing and neither is the hood. As far as paint goes...you should have stayed with the red in general (no flames). Custom paint (two tones, flames, airbrushing) as much as i like it (with custom painting myself) I don't agree or recomend seeing it done on a 300zx. Takes away from the body likes and the curves of the car. I can see lots of work was put into the car but I can't find myself to like what is done, sorry. Either way if you like it...
