I was gonna put those same wheels on my SAS 350z! I guess great minds think alike! I'm not gonna build it for a while though! Looks great so far!

Wow it's gonna be a spartan car!
blueish grey would be good. I think the body will be tightened by dark metallic color.

I think a metallic red would look great on it, or a metallic black?

Wow, thats looking so nice! I love the extra mods you've done, the rims suit it perfectly and that wing really sets it off.

Sorry guys but i have to disagree on the rims....IMO the deep dish does not suit the car at all...just looks all wrong to me

thanks for the response guys..
yeah, the rims are quite controvertial, I think they look really good on the car tho, it gives it that GT racing look dont u think? like a mix of european and japanese styling hehe

yeah, no SAS wing on this one, sorry chris its not entirely a sas car hehe

the interior is basically done minus the steering wheel and colum and gauges
