I thought the color was fine... I messed around with yellow, green, orange, and it turned out, the stock color was the best.
Any ideas?

very nice chop. I dont like the way it looks, but i can appreciate the effort and time that has been put into it. Great job man.
Only thing i'd suggest is that you nudge the back rim up by about 2/3 and it'll look perfect.
Nice chop man, keep it up

i agree with GS, the back wheel should be enlerged a bit, also u did not add back bumper therefore it looks unfinished because sideskirt is pretty low and actualy u may lower frotn bumper a bt as wel so to level bodykit out. Except for these chop looks shweet! i like it

Thanks for the feedback.
BuLLDoGG, what I was ultimately trying to get across with that body kit look was a realistic approach...
Look at most full body kits, and the sideskirt almost always comes lower than the front bumper, because the front bumper has a lot more things to deal with.
Curbs, speed bumps, random objects... Etc...
I thought it would look fine without the rear bumper, but apperently not. One more thing to fix.
As for the wheel... I Guess I see what you guys are talking about, but let me tell you what I did here.
I matched the wheels lip up with the lip on the stock Zeds wheels, so that it would fit correctly. But I'll mess around with it and see.
Thanks for the feedback, its greatly appreciated.

Very nice man. I like what you did with the back, in my opinion it looks better now. The rim looks better now also.
The only problem i see now, is that the front kit doesnt seem realistic anymore, because the left side seems higher then the right side.
Very nice, still looks damn sick.

^^^ totaly agree with GS
btw i disagree with u on the point that sideskirts in bodykits are always lower, concenring speed bumps as car passes it, eventualy speed bump will appear under car where it will reach the contact with sideskirt therefore there is no difference. see the image bellow:

Yes I agree with you on that.
Wish I had an example... But heres an illustrative point.
Wings West front bumper is two inches further from the ground than the Wings West side skirts for the 300ZedX... Or any car I would imagine.
I was trying to keep these things in mind when doing this project.
And yea, you spotted the one fault I had in mind... The lip is off balance, and looks a little sketchy.
I couldnt find a way to fix it without it looking off to me... Its annoying me so I've gotta find a way :lol:

Yea I relized that too, typically what I do is go over the small details rather sketchy, then I go back over and touch them up.
Thats just an area I forgot... Damnit :D
What car should I chop up next? Any ideas?

hey like what you've done so far, The side skirts look good, but im not real big on the front fascia, but its not the way u fitted it its just the looks of it. I actually like that color in person, its pretty kool

The headlight, front fascia, and side skirt are all off a Lambo. The headlight was modified to make it slightly resemble the Zeds lines a bit more.
If you look you can see where I filled.
The front fascia would be good if I spend some more time on it... I'll give it whirl.
