just a question, was the entire new part of the rear valence that you added made of putty? it almost looks like you reattached part of the original bumper onto the new one! it looks really good though, excellent work!

yup i made the rear valance...not from putty tho, its acutally the bottom part of the orignal Z bumper that i cut out, i jus modified it and cut it to make it look like that...i had to lower the exhuast system for it to go under the arches too took a while...

Hey Chris,
I have a question about the kits u sell for the models. Does the parts fit right onto the car or will I need to putty it up?

You won't need putty when fixing the the bodykits, its only really necessary when fixing any imperfections in the resin i.e pin holes, air bubbles etc. Your simply required to remove the existing bumpers and side skirts by cutting through the panel lines, then the replacements will fit in their place with the aid of 'tabs' (see pic below) that glue to the underside of the model. You may find it necessary to glue thin plastic sheet along the lines you cut in order to replace the plastic thats removed in the cutting process.

Looks great.

So how much is Chris paying you to show off his body kits and make us want them. Because it is working :finger: .

My opinion/advice....

Use putty and mould/blend in the side skirts on the 350Z. I'd also cut out and shave down the thing in the middle of the front grill. And put in a bit radiator with "NISMO" lettering stenciled on. (Think Fluididyne).

That's just my taste though...everything else looks good.



On the S2000, I really like the Mugen rims, but I think the ride height is too high. I'd cut it down about 2-3mms.


Too each his own, they're lookin good nonetheless.

My color suggestions.....


On the Z, a bright/cherry red, with a medium-tan interior with gloss-coat.


On the S2K, I dunno. Try something "different". Metallic Orange Mica, maybe. (not the Honda Imola Orange) But more of a lighter, brighter, more metalic color. Or, you could go with the "sleeper" look of Gunmetal, which would go well with those Mugen rims.
