It's a unique award winning car and hopefully whoever installs yours puts the time and effort into it for a damn near flawless fitment.

For my car to be beat by a $300k Liberty Walk GT-R at HIN can attest to the hard work that went into mine. For a build that has cost me 20k....not bad to.take 2nd place to that kind of money.

I suppose some of you are also the type that think 6k is expensive for custom work. I know people who have spent double, triple, and quadruple that on similar ventures. CF is not easy to work with. I did my hood, fenders, and wing. All of which required custom work for the best fitment possible.

Just like a tattoo...you get what you pay for.

Should yours turn out like mine, you'll have a damaged bank account or wallet too. The custom brackets and fiberglass work all add up. And keep in mind your trunk will be gutted and put back together. You wanna save yourself some cash. Remove all your oem panels on your own and drop the car off.

I gave you helpful information, not to be bashed. I figured I'd help you, since I had no prior information.

Best of luck.
riptide please let me begin by asking for forgiveness. I in no way meant to belittle the time,effort,money,frustration and creativity that went into building such a sweet ride. my comments came from a knee-jerk reaction to the information you were kind enough to share with me. I was being a cry baby because I had no idea of the commitment I was getting myself into. as far as the rape comment I was referring to me getting raped but after reviewing the thread I can easily see how I came off insensitive. please give me a one time pass. as to the comment about you possibly getting taken advantage of that came from the seller and I should have known better to take the sellers opinion over an experienced owner but at the time his comments gave me a bit of solace so I wanted to share the back and forth with my thread in order to get opinions from other z brothers. again man I'm sorry for being a jerk it wasn't my intent
