MY77Z Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 im not sure about it but i think YES, those are the stock 14'' rims, if you know how wide are they, please tell me check my photo gallery to see how ugly they looked when i got the car, a little polish and paint could totaly change them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY77Z Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 hi Ernie, the air dam is made by a guy here in kuwait who owns a fiberglass shop, he made it up, i told him that i want something special, he mixed i think 2 or 3 air dams and made this one up, i've never seen the same air dam on a Z, have you guys????? expensive though 310 bucks for the air dam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL probably cost 1/3 of that in supplies, no labour included. thats a really nice airdam and it looks like your car is gonna be a featherweight.

Careless Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Ali, Before you paint the air dam - perhaps you might consider asking the person who made the piece for you to make a mold so that you could reproduce it to sell and make a little money. I believe it would be good investment. Just a suggestion! Ernie/RacerX Ernie wants one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodboxer Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 how did you do the rear end , I am shaving mine and was woundering what the procedure is, yours looks good . As well were did you get the front skirt? or did your local make that as well? bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY77Z Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 hi ernie, he wouldnt make a mold for me, he already has one, and i could ask him to make you one but the shipping will kill you bob, removed all the bumper's brackets, welded square pieces of sheet metal from the inside, did the same thing for all the wholes, then at the body shop, the guy did his magic the skirt is cutom made by ''the'' fiberglass guy here in kuwat, i dont think you can buy anywhere.....

badjuju Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 careless, LOL, well i thought it was expensive, well im payin 310$ labor included too...thanks, i really like it too, it looks mean, well not sure about my Z beein a featherweight but i'll have to check that after im done. i wonder what shipping would cost from kuwait, that's not a bad design for $310...

Brad-ManQ45 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Don't want to hijack the thread, but I had the one piece Arizona Gnose shipped to me in a crate via Greyhound for ~$80 - it weighed around 80 lbs (crate was really heavy) and was just under the length limit... I got lucky in that a fellow HybridZ'er around Phoenix happened to work at a place that did a lot of shipping and could fab a crate cheap for me - he even went and picked the GNose up from Dave! I would imagine an air dam would run about the same, unless you would be willing to just put it in a box.... By the way - those wheels are Western Cyclone I's. I have the II's, which have more fins spaced closer together. Mine are 14x7's. I had 15x7's just like them (II's) on a '72 351CJ Mustang....

VinhZXT Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Sorry to say this but the front looks like the bottom half of the firebird spoiler. Looks like you got some work to do on the sides still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY77Z Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 dont be sorry, i know it's a mix up at least it's one of a kind and custom made for my Z, body work is not done yet, maybe you'll like it next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
