slownrusty Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I'm with Cody can't wait to see it on the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank280zx Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 well i still have to soothen out the underside and cut away obsolete frame, but i take as it will be pin down i will weigh about the same as OEM ( i dont have to as it now even still has the release hook) The beta hood almost weighs the same as the stock skin! So without the hinges, most of the inner frame, hood release system. etc. It will be in the same ballpark. ( naturally i hope it will be lighter) when im don grinding wetsanding and detailing the bottom and have it painted once more ill shoot some pics on my yellow Z so you can see what it look like. it will give me much more needed cooling and it will look diffrent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I've always thought that the larger cowl opening would overpower the look at the front of the car. On the ZX the hood is so much of the car that I'm not sure how it will look once it's on the car. With Franks ZX he is doing so much other work that I think it will balance out but, on a otherwise stock car I'm not sure. Looking forward to some pics.
