Yay!
       I love the color sooooo much! It looks awesome in the sunlight. It glows. Even at night the candy color looks so sweet. It feels so great to finally be done. Does anybody get the vanity plates? This post has been edited by flipside97LTD: Dec 6, 2004 - 11:27 PM --------------------  |

Here's a quick history of the build....
      Picked out the color I wanted...  I got in an accident on the way to the shop!  [IMG] Fixed it by the next morning   Someone knocked my doors down to the concrete when I went inside and messed up the mirrors  Painted the sealer and basecolor   Then the orange and clear   I fixed my mirrors and doors and drove it to the painter's shop after I wetsanded it and it's finally done. I started in May of this year. I'm so happy it's done!   She's so sexy -------------------- |

QUOTE Neck Breaker! What do I win? The car looks awesome man! That color is so sweet! Thanks man! Dude, your the the first person to get the plates. I really like the name but maybe it's too hard to get. Thanks again. QUOTE Nice job, just curious though, what's the middle scoop for? (not criticising but am) edit: you meant it to be supra'ish? At the moment it's for show. It is functional, but hey I liked the look of the rx-7 fusion hood and so i did a custom job. I may run my intake to it though in the future. And yea I was looking for a supra look. QUOTE Looks nice, but curious, The pic of the mirror, it looks like theres a bunch of runs or smuges or like not enough paint on it, is that just like a reflection?? I guess it's the reflections. No runs or smudges though. They were a *@$# to fix after they fell though. QUOTE little question though, is it me or is your scoop facing the passenger side like 1degree? I was really worried about that when I made it. But it's accurate. Thanks for the compliments! very grateful

QUOTE looks real real good... the scoop actually seems to fit the bodykit style well, functional or not, its good work.. what about the interior? Thanks dude. The interiors basically the same as it's been. I may redo it eventually. I'd completely fiberglass it, take out the rear seats and do a crazy audio build up. If you've ever seen the inside of a 350Z even stock it looks cool. I'm planning on getting the interior from a 350Z and retro-fitting some of the pieces into the celi. But eh, not yet. Yea about the scoop, I wanted it bigger and more forward as well. But I had to make it that size and put it where I did on the hood because I didn't want it to drop into the valve cover or mess with the hood latch. In person it looks a lot better though. -------------------- |

I love that color. You might beat me to the 350z interior though, now i've gotta save my money for a few other things, but hey who knows? I just think it would be awesome to see a crazy coversion like that.

How much of the interior are you gonna glass up? Are you planning to just remake the stock pieces in fiberglass or do a total custom interior?
