ok whatever, it looks like a Bugatti Veyron mated with an Aston Martin DB9, with a hint of infidelity involving a Lexus LF-A, and a badly photoshopped hole in the hood......hiding a VG30DETT????

This is the first critique I've had on my new design and to have it compared to such opulent cars really give me lots of encouragement. Why it makes me want to get off my a55 right now and to finish it a week before Christmas so that a few lucky Z owners can glee in the attention of driving such a striking car. One that cuts through the roads vigorously, with the beauty of a cheetah.

I know i did an atrocious job on the hood hole, but it will look good in person its naturally aspired engine at 220hp

I definitely prefer the 2nd version. I've never liked body-color headlight surrounds. Even the C6 Corvette and Ferrari Maranello would look better with black headlight surrounds.

Body-color headlight surrounds are like chrome/altezza tail lights in my mind: why have all that space covered by the light's lens if you're just going to pretend it's not a part of the lights? If it's under a headlight lens, it shouldn't be body color, that's my philosophy.

Ok, so Idk wtf is up with that bodykit on the... i'm guessing lexus, but i think the black eyes definitely look better.

So Vig, why are you posting here and not the Z forum anymore? Just wondering.

Is that an actual pic of progress? (minus the hole in the hood of course lol)

The picture is heavy with photoshop so until I finish... then I'll reveal it in the z32 forum. I chose the multimedia section for this poll because the test forums dont allow polls.

It should but the guys might think Im taunting them with a new design or something. Fans will see my signature link anyway... as the button I made is one hell of nice page changing advert Some of my new ideas are in an Aussie thread that I recently started, but I know guys there are itching to have the thread locked.Making the z32 design into another car is a touchy subject and can understand. http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/...95957

The black look a LOT better than the body colorerd.

WTF is wrong with that awful craptastic looking body kit on the right car? Looks nasty. And the body colorered lenses look bad too. Would be much better in chrome or black.
