I think due to the rarity of the Zed, most of us myself included are not even aware of the various types of bodykits available out there. I'm sure there are so many obscure types we've yet to see much less consider.

We need more pics lah!

my vote : over fender.

if widebody. please dont opt too much fiberglass parts, dont like it when they crack over time.

by the way : i like that 240z body & that mustang last year i saw it in sunway garage opposite of N1.

bravo on your project update.:proud:

 

[Kevin Lee]

i quite dig the blue car

actually while the z31 might be rare on malaysian shores, this car is so common in the usa, it was the 2nd most sold Z in the USA, slightly surpassed by the 350z

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

the blue one quite nice without too much overflared fender...

 

[Kevin Lee]

lol its still undecided! hahaha

Yes 114 50.00%
No 114 50.00%

but yeah, Z31 was the 2nd most sold Z after the 350z, with it selling slightly more than the other

 

[[PIMPIN]]

Is there substantial costs involved between the choices?

 

[wsukun]

what cost are u referring PIMPIN?

 

[[PIMPIN]]

what cost are u referring PIMPIN?

As in between the widebody and the slightly pumped fenders etc? Surely the costs and amount of work involved are different. Plus the indirect cost of widebody kit (ie: wider rims, tyres). So was just wondering how substantial the difference was if Kevin were to go for a widebody kit.

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Voted too fast before I saw the Widebody Design posted above. Gave me 2nd thoughts.
If you are able to find a better and nicer widebody design for the Z31, then go with it.

Like some said, don't make it too wide. If not, I would think it will still look good with
some simple mods on appearances like below, mind the gull wing doors if that's not
the target

Gull Wing Doors, maybe?

 

[DanzEterna]

i suggest if there are extra funds available then only proceed with the widebody....
otherwise, concentrate on the engine performance 1st.

Although it's ultimately Kevin's decision, I agree with DanzEterna on getting the car on the road first. Then the looks could come later? Or just go with the same look as what Toshi (or whoever that is with the RB26DETT) has - that is one hot hot Zed

 

[khoyos]

i think PIMPIN is referring to the widebody vs stock body costs. both will be sponsored so it doesnt matter hehehe

 

[Kevin Lee]

basically, some might view me as a sacrilege, but i found the perfect idea to go with the car, lol

using toshi's front and a copy of the ferrari f40 nostrils, i could make a nice ferrari lookalike!

and also by using the kouki rear, i could emulate the ferrari 348

what do u guys think? lol, very simple and subtle lookalike kit

of course, when we have a full horizontal bar light, we can do some magic to it!

Ah in that case by all means, go for whichever the heart desires.

Tapi rim lebar and 315 rear tires got sponsor or not

The last pic you posted, at first glance almost looks Mk3 Supra-ish

 

[Kevin Lee]

im actually asking for DOTZ Germany to sponsor their Touge Graphite series with optional color pin striping, lol! heres the photo, most likely a staggered setup, using 17 inches. Let's hope the negotiations go well

Cool rims. Hopefully they agree to your request! Best of luck!

But since we're talking black rims with yellow striping, how about the rest of the car color theme for interior and exterior? Retrim etc?
