I don't miss the spoiler-less look on my car though, I did that for a couple weeks but it just didn't look right on my car. Probably because I still had my pin striping on back then. Looks great on yours and Jon's though!

I don't really have an opinion on making the fog lamp portion black again. It looks good either way to me. It's your car so you should paint it how you like! My car was already black so I got the easy way out =).

I miss your wheels, you should get another set soon!

Any plans for a GTZ/Z26 interior? Or do you like the base seats like Jon?

Wingless FTW and thanks..Dont see whats the big deal on making the inlay black? just one little strip lol. Yes I do miss the wheels but the ride was horrible cause of the adapters, I will get some soon though..hopefully lol.

I do want the GTZ/Z26 interior..just gotta find some asap..

Definitely lovin' the look! Keep up the good work.

Its a factory type deal, when people look at these cars it's a dead giveaway that the car has been painted when the surrounds are not painted black, some see it as a detail that was overlooked or forgotten, it's also more than than just the separator, its also all of the area around the opening. Mine was not carried out as far as it should have been but I didn't do it, I asked the painter to do it and he did as much as he thought was necessary. I would like to extend mine, but I may have the bumper redone soon so I'll do it then.

I thought the same thing as what you said above when it comes to the three supports that are visible as well holding up the lip. Once those are painted body color they stick out like a soar thumb, and really they are supposed to blend in with the black AC condenser in the background so you don't see them. Once I painted mine black and had the lower lip going across the lower radiator support it made a huge difference.

ah okay yeah i gotta get my bumper redone anyways..the painter didnt do such a good job painting underneath the bumper so when i have time for him to do it then i will have it done..thanks for your input

still gotta install my fogs..soon i hope to lower it and still debating to paint my wheels black? any input?

I think they look great in the current color!

Look sweet! I'm actually thinking of putting a Z kit on the GTU sometime, only hangup for me is it would seem like a shame to do.

Maybe for the winter? lol (So I don't run the risk of cracking the GTU lip)

you can just "put" the z kit on for winter. It needs special brackets on the door and sill to accept the sides. you'd only be able to use the front and rear bumpers but also you would need to swap in the radiator duct work.

Wouldn't be that hard to do. The only thing I didn't actually know about was the duct work. I need new bumpers anyways, mine are getting spider cracks on them and the front red strip is peeling a bit.

Sorry for taking this a bit off topic.

Wouldn't be hard to pop rivet brackets to your door and sill to temporarily swap body kits??? WTF? that sounds somewhat permanent to me. Or are you only wanting to swap bumpers? if so I think that would look a bit odd... I would say its easier for you to remove the GTU front lip in the winter and just put on a base lower lip

I agree. You'd have to drill holes in your car to mount the sides lol.

I wasnt thinking right about the side skirts. I was thinking they mounted the same as gtu sideskirts for some reason. I forgot about the door portion
Of the kit. Btw sorry for the bad punctuation this was sent from a phone lol

i think it does too, but i smoked out my fogs/turn signals so i think it would look good with having it black..close to the "murdered out" look
