veritech-z Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 this is the car that Sung Kang is having Greddy build him to debut at SEMA. They've been chronicling the build for a bit now on their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SungKangOfficial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob L Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I like the rims on sung kangs Z.....the rocketbunny kit is nice ...the problem is everybody is gonna have one just like everyone has a Z with flares and watts on it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndyAndTheSea Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Honestly, I can't get behind the design. There are a couple areas that I don't care for - Mainly, the grill opening transition leading to the air dam, the rear flares going into the doors, and the overall lack of functionality (at least from the ultra low renderings) I can see the appeal though, and it does look like it's going to be well made. Just not my cup o' tea. Edited October 23, 2015 by OldAndyAndTheSea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Speak to the "overall lack of functionality" for a second, I'm curious about that. As best I can tell it covers the fronts of the wheels, leaving the backs open for venting (and the front fenders seem to radius in towards the wheels to ease that transition). It doesn't seem to me to be appreciably different from the IMSA flares, it just has open backs to prevent air from collecting? *edit* Just reread the post, you're talking about the impractical ride height probably? I can't argue the car isn't super low, because it's super low. But that isn't a function of the flares so much as the suspension choices Edited October 23, 2015 by veritech-z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndyAndTheSea Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Yeah, you got it. I wasn't implying that fender flares affect suspension, rather that based on the renderings - being super low - it's hard to gauge what the kit will look like overall when at an appropriate ride height. It could change the look for some people, that's all. I should have been clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypertek Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I like the rims on sung kangs Z.....the rocketbunny kit is nice ...the problem is everybody is gonna have one just like everyone has a Z with flares and watts on it lol. Soo not true imo.. you dont see many Zs in north america sitting on authentic watanabes, good quality fender flares, or authentic fender mirrors.. at least my opinion. But im bias cuz I got those for my Z =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miky360 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 +1 with Hypertek. Most people, even on HybridZ, are more than happy with replica wheels, cheapest fender flares possible and whatever fender mirrors they can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Now that overall values are rising on these cars, I'm sure you'll see less people doing the "cheap-to-free" builds and building cars with resale in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
