Personally I love the stock look, I know not all of us are fans of the fangs. Secondly I really didn't first want to invest in an aftermarket body kit just so I could get a mold off it, didn't seem worth the effort. Finally, when we started this project only the zele kit was out and that was $$$. I know the pictures are a teaser but thus far I'm happy with the results, can't wait till we get them on.

RCZ,

mainy because of post #12 and creating a one off design takes some time.

indeed, it was a difficult decision knowing there would be a substantial wait especially since I bought the Z very shortly before I undertook the project. Driving a Camry just doesn't give you the same grins.

after reading that sorry if it sounded harsh, us damn law students always come out with blunt to the point statements. I'm very excited I don't think we'll have fitament issues since it was molded directly off the stock pieces. I've searched for solid red Z's with cf but didn't come up with many pics. Guess I'll have to continue to be patient to see how it looks.

I don't think I'll get them painted, I like the raw cf look even on a solid red though black would be the ideal color. I went with red out of love for my alma mater and current law school. I'm sure it's going to get a mix of love it/hate it reactions. If I saw a semi red Z drive by I'd probably first go oh man wth happened, but on a second glance you'll realize how much cf there really is.

if and probably most likely when you install a cf hood, fenders, A-pillars, B-pillars, roof and hatch. the only red colour would be the quarter panel....... lol

starting with front and rear bumpers, hood, side skirts, front fenders and engine cover for a little dress up under the hood. Saving up for a turbo...I have a plan but of course execution is everything.

FWIW, the weights are:

Front: 9.75 Lbs.
Rear: 10.5 Lbs.


I just happen to have a pair stashed behind the garage...

Are you planning a lip for the front bumper? My opinion has been (since the Z came out) that if you're going to go through the trouble of modding the body, a lip for the front should be one of the first things that happens.
