My Project (Jacquemond kit)

[chrislis]

whoa, my bad. i thought the dude who i quoted was the one who started this thread. now i double checked. sorry about that, dood.

[mkory]

I'm loving it. Wasn't too crazy about it when I first saw it, but teamed with an RB, functional vents, and a modified bumper it will look pretty badass.

I've always wondered about a door piece to line up with sideskirts that raise up about a foot toward the top of the car in front of and behind the door itself (think zenki nismo ones).

How about a photoshop of making the hood and pop-up headlight covers one piece, with the fixed headlights shining through all the time. Like you did, but instead of the covers that's actually part of your hood.

[chmercer]

LOL at functional vents. yeah a huge hole in the side of the car with no direction is a super vent job. i guess if the goal is to get rocks in the suspension then its pretty functional.

I partially agree that there may not be much engineering to the vents, but a hole in the body line is going to create a low pressure zone no matter how you look at it, so there will be airflow... significant i might add. Not many ppl know much about the engineering behind turbo'ing their cars (not to the max potential), but they get the gist of it and attain significant gains. Some sort of screen will keep rocks out of the way...

its gonna get air in there all right but at the cost of severe drag

[Chingon]

true... I don't foresee it being more than having your windows 1/4 open on the freeway.

I've thought about the drag and I'm using the Ab-Flug 300zx cf rear diffuser, we took out the gas tank to make room for it(and room for duel exhaust) so I do have a escape rout for the air...lol..we will be directing the air through there. now I'm not an engineer but I play one on TV

I'm using a black mesh in the back part of the vent(by the wheel) to stop any debree from hitting my suspenion.here is a pic of the rear diffuser I bought

so with the rear diffuser and R33 lights and custom ONELINE wing, it'll look something like this, but better!($hitty photochop) oh yeah I'm paiting it Mercede-Benz silver, so it'll be close to the color of the wheels.

[Sky240PWR]

and this is for you who don't know what a ONELINE wing looks like(they haven't made this wing for years though)

[SxThirteen]

sorry to hate but looks like white trash ferrari.

your mom really likes it!no just kidding, it's cool if you don't like it, it's not for everyone.BUT IT WON'T BE WHITE TRASH!

I was going to save this for a suprise but I'm not using the top peice of the SUPER MADE light, I'm going to find a company to make me a plastic peice to cover the whole top(kinda like the Grim lights but a whole lot cheaper!!)but thats the plan for now, it might change

[Chingon]

I really wan't gonna comment on the modena front bumper, but the rear is just taking it too far imo. Of course it's your car, but why not to take it away from the pinifarina idea?

[nismofly]

i honestly really dont like that one piece tail thing with the individual lights

at least get something like what the oneline car has

I agree. More separation of the tailight panels is good. Shaving it all is bad.

well I didn't get the idea from the ferrari, there's tons of car and even body kits(front bumper) that have the same three vents like I want that aren't ferraris, like this one(not the same but similar)

[Jookmasta]

i just wanna see the bill when ur done.............other than that, i have to give u ur respect for following this through properly. im sure with the right amount of money, it will look good. the drag thing may be more apparant than the windows down. those holes are huge arent they?

[Sky240PWR]

I agree. More separation of the tailight panels is good. Shaving it all is bad.

I wasn't shaving anything, the kit comes with a one peice with lights, I don't like the lights the kit came with so thats why I'm putting in the R33s(just the light, not the whole peice), and I think since I have a R33 motor and its a nissan, that sorta gives me the right to use them.(i know how people feel about using tails that aren't for that car)

[chmercer]

thoes r33s will look better than the lights that came with it. you should try to sell the extra lights. they are saleen s7 taillights, $$$. props for not sweating it when people hate on your car.

[naed240sx]

Ohh ok. I just saw that in your photochop, there is no sepparation between the tailight bar and the tailights, and they tailights are just there. No frame or seams whatsoever.

[nismofly]

i think thats how it was on the shelf kit but hes changing it is what hes saying

[Sky240PWR]

yeah ebaying those for sure! and thanks

i think thats how it was on the shelf kit but hes changing it is what hes saying

yeah I'm putting in the R33 lights in where the other lights were(alittle bigger then the saleens) by the way Lamborghini used them too on some of their cars

[chmercer]

oh thats interesting, didnt know they were on multiple makes of cars. i wonder who makes the taillights in the first place. maybe pininfarina or somthing.

[Chingon]

well I didn't get the idea from the ferrari, there's tons of car and even body kits(front bumper) that have the same three vents like I want that aren't ferraris, like this one(not the same but similar)

hmm, i guess i'm unclear as to how your front bumper will look like then. I just went from your 1st photshop and the pic of the masa-hooded s15.

[amolao]

More pics!!??

[Shift_Oversteer]

Wow man great work, dont let anyone **** on your parade dude... Just stay on track and dont let it turn into a half finished project that never gets done...

[l0nestar]

you'd better be a fast runner cuz I'm sure the owner would be FORCED to kick in your head. Disrespecting someones car isn't cool/hot/fresh w/e you wanna call it. people who key, scratch, dent, KICK or do anything to damage someone else's car should be SHOT.

have a nice life

I completely agree. 'nuff said.

I may not exactly think such a design for a car is for me, but hey, it is his vehicle / passion. Props!

Anything you can do / have a passion for, do it! But do not merely attempt, prevail with all of your heart / mind / soul.

Holy crap, I can't believe I just thought of that!

Anyways, Sky240PWR, ROCK ON MAN!

[l0nestar]

Does anyone else make anything similar to the OneLine wing??

[Sky240PWR]

Does anyone else make anything similar to the OneLine wing??

not really, I've been looking for a couple years, and thanks for the kind words! this is a project thats getting done for sure.I should have some more pics next week.

this is the only wing i've seen that was similar(ugly to me)

[dickie]

found another car that uses your taillights:
