Hello everyone,

 

I know everyone has their own tastes when it comes to body styling/modifications. Some like the stock look, some like the wild look. I have always liked the IMSA/GT2 wide bodies of all kind of race cars and have long admired Koenig's agressive looking body enhancements for Porshes, Ferraris etc....

 

Lately, I've been wanting to upgrade the look of my IMSA body Z car and wanted to get opinions of how much is too much before it gets tacky.

 

So far I've been working on a full carbon kevlar hood, gnose, airdam, center console, mirrors and rear tail panel cover.

 

Has anyone ever seen a Z with one of those big aluminum 2 stage tails on a Z?

 

I've also been measuring the front ends and tails from the late model twin turbo supra. With a little cutting and fiberglassing, I'm confident I can make a good fit.

 

Sometimes simple is better and

I really don't want to spend the money/time buying tails and Supra body kits if it's going to turn out tacky.

 

Please post your opinions.

Your ideas don't sound too "ricey". Check out some of the member's cars and featured cars-particularily Terry Oxandale's ride.

 

But, please don't slap too many stickers on it!!

Are you trying not to make it look like your PrimaDonna??? wink.gif Just a joke, Hoover!

 

I personally like the IMSA style cars due to their "Coke bottle" shape and overall aggressive stance. On a personal note, it sounds like you are headed in the right direction. Incorporating some styling cues from other cars like the Supra sounds great!

i like the supra tailights, but yes function to me is always more important, please no square headlights please..

ever think about the skyline tailights, those are the hardest IMO, would look good flushed in the back. IMSA cars are hard, big flares big meats big timer! please no primadonna ques smile.gif hey im still waiting for my ride in the l series monster!!!!!!!

I found a shop locally that stocks body kits from BOMEX. I'm going to ask if I can mock up some of the pieces on my car.

I've got to get you a picture of the owners twin turbo Supra, it's a definite head turner.
