Tamon Design to Unveil Nissan RC370Z at Tokyo Auto Salon in January

CBRich · 01-15-2010, 07:44 AM

Lose the funky insert for the front and replace it with something better and I'd be all over it. I actually like the overall look.

I think it looks pretty horrible. The front grill reminds me of a Chrysler more than anything, which makes me thing of terrible, terrible things.

The accents all over don't really make any sense nor do they really add anything to the body. It is generally pretty disappointing, but I guess someone will probably buy it.

I like it. To those who say it does not follow the lines of the car you need to get your eyes checked. I have already been working on a realistic photoshop of this design and YES it DOES follow the lines of the car. Look at it from this perspective... The OEM lines make the car look short and porsche like... This design changes that up and makes the car seem longer with the flatter curves, wider with the flared fenders, and much more aggressive! Now the front grill is something to get used to and i think with more pictures and different angle many peoples minds could change on how they like the kit. A really good combo would probably be the Amuse Front, The rest of this body kit and Amuse Wing! Now that would be unique and different!

and everybody in japan just screamed in pain lol

(i'm just referring to their almost fanatical nature to stick to one company's kit instead of mixing and maching like we do)

I do not like the front at all. But what I do like is some parts of the back. The diffuser looks pretty sick, I need to see some more angles of the back though

bullitt5897 · 01-17-2010, 02:01 AM

I had an idea for the tamon kit... Check it out!

NYBladeZ · 01-17-2010, 09:18 AM

looks like the Joker's car from the Batman cartoons with that big smile, I'm going to have to give it the thumbs down

Yeah. I never really understood that. I probably will never understand why they prefer buying all their parts from one company instead of mixing and matching. (Spoon certified cars for example)

As far as that Tamon Designs kit, did they remove the rear fog light? The rear looks decent. The front is another story.

kenchan · 01-17-2010, 12:53 PM

the red looks silly like the new mazda's...but the white not as much.

bullitt5897 · 01-17-2010, 04:45 PM

I think the two tone paint color enhances the curves of the kit yet minimizes the funny look of the front bumper.

The rear fog is still there and is a much better design and is hidden in the diffuser.

still not my cup of tea, but if you want to, go for it

RCZ · 01-17-2010, 05:19 PM

that kit looks terrible no matter how you paint it.
