SteelToad Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You should have shortened the head light buckets and raised the fronts up to give it that S30 look and then mod the hood to match. Too much work I'm going to go more along the lines of VinhZXT's front bumper mod, with the buckets blended in, it's a nice smooth look.

S130Z Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 What if that's not the look he wanted? His work is great and his design is his own. I'd love a flared S130! Davy I was only expressing what I don't have the time and money for. He is doing a great job and it goes way beyond what a lot of people plan to do. His car looks great.

VinhZXT Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I have said this many times before. The ZXs has nice body lines to them already. Therefore IMO the flares will ruin the body lines. The worst part of the car is the rear. I haven't seen many people customize the back end on the ZX yet. I did the roll pan on my Yellow ZX back in 97 and it looked pretty good (not radical). here is a picture for Steeltoad. I did some more mod on the front end of my yellow ZX and it might match your steeltoad body line better. Here is a pic Here is the rear roll pan This led to this rear end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texis30O Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Chemical blue...... Why do you have your distrubutor still installed, yet you have individual coil packs? I am about to get a XDi2 system for my car in a few months..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Davyz, Thanks for the compliments. Steeltoad, I see your zx is pretty radical. If you look carefully on my yellow Zx I have the hood scoop there. Looks pretty good and it's functional too. Since you are pretty good with the metal work it shouldn't be a problem for you to create the hood scoop out of the stock hood. GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatBlack Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 This is from the LeBlanc meet in Baton Rouge this spring, this is a buddy's car: He made a custom bumper, put on the 350 door handles and has C4 Corvette lights. Pretty cool for a 130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 It looks good but please tell him fix the right side mirror. It's crooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sam's79280zx Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Thanks a lot for the post. I guess people dont really put those big flairs like they do on the 240. Maybe because it doesn't look as good with the longer body. I think I will have to say that the g nose looks the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatBlack Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Those were all the pictures I took, it was boxed in by a Z33 and a gorgeous '70 S30 on the drivers side so i couldnt get a full picture of it. I was really impressed, the guy did all of that himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal-s130 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Yeah they are. You have to do minor cutting to them to fit snug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
