is it me, or does the back end need to be lowered a tad more? the rear wheels look like they might need to be moved inwards a little, but nice job besides that. Where did the rims come from?

all of your projects are LOOKING FLAWLESS!!! i love those rims on the 300ZX!! for the mufflers, shouldn't the whole muffler be Chrome/aluminum/SILVERY!??

Not really sure if this applies universally, but shouldn't the battery and master cylinder switch places?

Nonetheless, that is a work of art. :eek:

The master cylinder is always on the driver side of the car. If it's RHD, then the MC is in the right place.

The kit looks wonderful. Those rims do fit very well with this car.

Btw did the engine come with the kit?

Keep the rear end high, it looks nice, it kinda has that "kiss my a$$" look to it. J/K :D

Your car looks very nice, you have nice style too. The only problem I had with this kit was attaching the bottom to the rear bumper.

I havent finished them yet, they are sprayed black first as an undercoat for the Alcad2 Polished Stainless Steel paint, or maybe Carbon Cans

Looks EXCELLENT! IMO the right muffler's can diameter is smaller than the left. Is this true? Its not that noticable anyway.

No it's the same tubing, must be a angle of photo thing.

The Decal was created in Illustrator and printed using a laser onto clear decal paper. still need to play with the decal paper more, what with having to coat with clear after etc.
