I might be the only crazy one here, but I actually liked it better when it had that gold pinstripe separating the matte and glossy black parts.

I liked that also, but was 50/50 with the mirror stripe so it was a tough call.

Gold was cool but just a little too bling for me. Hood is gloss as well as roof and the rear border.

I'm thrilled with it, kind of one of those cars you need to see in person. Had a ton of props last night at the meet, drew a bit of a crowd but there were some over the top show cars there too that made mine look rough... oh well, fun stuff just the same.

Great execution of a finished project. I think you have the first tastefully modded Nismo Z here on the boards, at least what I've seen.

One thing though...LOWER YOUR CAR MORE! It's bugging me. A few posts back you said you wanted to keep the stock ride height but I think you should lower it at least for decent pictures.

Its pretty low man, any lower and I can't get out of driveways. Wheels are a little inside the fenders now, I think much more and I'll rub.

Stopped by to see my Roadster build so far, coming out well but the body had some hidden damage so Im just buying another Body. Cool thing is I found a body for 700 and my stock fenders hood and quarters are worth that. New Motor should arrive Tuesday. Frame is getting modded now and once that's ready off to the powdercoater and sandblaster.

Tell you guys what... Once its done, we'll find a track and you guys can try it out. Should be really something when she's done...excited!

Sad to see it go
I just hope whoever takes it will take care of it the way you did.

What's up with your LTH GB Moto? Saw you were on the list yesterday. (Picking up someone's spot that needed to back out.)
