same here, actually right now that's the logo I have for my license plate. I bought a black piece of plastic and then painted that 240z side profile on.

I finished the program for the front emblem. It's 18 megabytes of windows notepad text and 3 hours of machining time per badge . I'm not sure if I took the right approach. I want to make the badge look as good as possible, but I also want to keep it from being outrageously expensive. The prototype badges will most likely be made with the program as is, but for production the cycle time must be cut dramatically. This doesn't necessarily mean they wont look as nice, I just need to make the program more efficient.

Wouldnt mind seeing some brushed aluminum Z emblems for the front/rear..

Modify the cylinder item you made into a shift nob make it match the insturment panel

battery lid

how badass would an aluminum engine cover look? that seems easily doable if you have machining skills.

OH the ideas!! I would like new badges and possibly a reasonable CAI kit. We all know that it doesnt cost that much to design and produce the tubing and then to charge upwards of 400 is ridicolous. I really am hopeful to see what you can do.

I would like the door handles. A grounded, conductive handle gives you a good place to touch as you get out of the car. This means you don't build that static charge in the winter time that I hate so much. I know this might sound nuts, but I got spoiled with a metal handled car once, and now I think of it every winter when I get the static shocks.

I'd like to see a shift knob with a Z on the top.

It could be something like MGW makes for the mustang and viper crowd or even just a cylinder.

i dont know autocad, but i do kno some 3D Max to make a 3d render of it.

3" tall new Z emblem

Would anodizing the OEM door ext handles be unpossible?

Then again, even black on (magnetic) black wouldn't look quite right...

does anyone else feel me on the engine cover? I've been waiting for some to come out, but to no avail, seems all options lead to painting it myself, and I am by no means, an expert painter.

Not to poop on this guys thread, but Siebon makes a CF engine cover.. Check Fifa Racing's classified thread, I posted a pic of mine there.. And it matches pretty well with the password:jdm stuff.
