I think that if you removed the wing, and put some brushed rims on that BMW it would look pretty good

I guess so, but that's a matter of taste as well. I, myself, prefer a body kit that looks like it's not there. It should add a bunch of curves or lines, but that's just me.

Rex,

What is the second car in your signature? I'm guessing the Leopard is the Japanese M30?? Regardless of what it is, it is SHARP.

It's pronounced "BLINGBLING"

Wald, JP/90-93, JP/94-96, JP/Wide Body and the many kits on Freddy B's Q45racing site.I'm not endorsing, just sharing.

MB's E-Class based take on the 4-door Coupe doesn't work for me either. But the W211-E55, now that's another story.

Yes, it's an M30/Leopard. I was planning on making a nice little project out of a 240SX (S13) Coupe in the coming years, but there seem to be some guys in love with those things and any realistic attempt to increase power (sorry, KA-T doesn't do it for me) aren't emissions testing friendly. So, I looked into the M30 and found that swapping a 300ZX TT drive train (auto or manual) should't be too hard and since it's consistent with the original motor offering, I'll only have to worry about a visual inspection for cats (hint, hint).

There are more in my Member Rides section, but my favortie is really this one .

I'll say the side skirts on this one look nice, but the front lip is still too much for my taste. I'd perfer something less "street sweeper-ish". I may be alone in that opinion, but I'm okay with that .

bling-bling1. (sometimes pronounced “Blang-Blang”) Used to be jewelry such as silver, platinum, or diamonds and sometimes gold. Now the word expands to describe extremely expensive style of clothes, cars and general life-style. "Did you see Donald Trump’s house in The Aprentice- I’ve never seen so much bling bling!" or "Jose’s blinging it!"

I agree 100%. The top front says luxury and eloquence, the type you'd expect from the Q. The side skirts aren't bad as they don't clash with the style. The bottom of the front however screams NASCAR and the fakeness of the body which you see on Fox on sundays. It just doesn't match at all.

I think you could pull it off if it looked more like a early Q airdam instead of that "thing".

Wow, it's so clean and "wedgy". I like it, The 300ZXTT (manual would be my choice) sounds like a very interesting project. You will keep us all apprised of you progess on this dream project, I hope...
