Guest Anonymous Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 That looks ok to me. Reminds me of the AMC AMX hood scoop actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Call me a weenie (Is that like calling me a cab?) but I un-prefer the look with the nostrils. When I pulled up pic #1, the first thing I said to myself was, "Damn, that's a CLEAN looking Z!" Putting holes in the nose took some of that away FOR ME. Others might think it looks kick ass and drool over it. If it were me (and it's not) I'd go for the LT-1 type hood bulge with an opening in the rear. Make it subtle enough that people ask, "Did it come that way from the factory???" But that's just my way of doing things. I like the elements of a car to blend together, but some folks prefer a more aggressive, less polished look. To each his own! Kudos, by the way, for your Photoshop skills!

Guest Anonymous Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Hmmmm, what you did to MY z looks ok... Actually the naca ducts arrived today so I have a better idea of what they might look like. http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/zguy22000/vwp?.dir=/My+Photos&.dnm=vents4.jpg&.src=ph&.view=t&.hires=t Anyway, still thinking about it. I think some sort of ram air would be cool. Thanks for the post Nem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KraZ4spd Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Jumbo240z, I was just playing around. Thanks for letting me play with the pic. It really got me thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KraZ4spd Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 RPMS, I agree, that is why I had this car stashed in my computer. The first pic is VERY close to what I have been seeing in my head for over a year now. A few things here and there but my vision is almost a dead ringer. Just got to thinking after toying around with Jumbos pic. Might be something that somebody would like. It never hurts to explore the possibilities.

DavyZ Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 I think the hood mods look pretty darn good! The trick would be to make it look that way in real life. I just picked up a junkyard airdam to fool around with and hone my fiberglassing skills... Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never hurts to explore the possibilities. Absolutely right! I hope I didn't rain on your parade, or anything. Sometimes when you're kicking around an idea that nobody else thinks will work, you hit on something that's absolute magic! I applaud you for letting us in on your thought processes.

Dan Juday Posted November 4, 2001 Share Posted November 4, 2001 Hey RPMS, is this what you're thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 Hey RPMS, is this what you're thinking? [/b] STOP IT! You're making me embarass myself at work! I usually LOATHE the way flares look on a Z, but those are definitely the exception. If I ever decide to put wider fenders on my Z, those are the way I'll go!

Dan Juday Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Well I was talking about the hood scoop. Actually it's a complete hood. But, yes, I agree with you on the fender flares. I liked them so much I bought a set for myself. They look even better in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Oh, yeah - the hood scoop! I barely even saw it! Tell me again why they call it the Subtle Z? Yeah, exactly. Functional, but it doesn't draw the eye away from the lines of the car. I've gotta go get my eyes checked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 Is that an all glass hood Dan? That looks awesome (whole car does!)! Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted November 6, 2001 Share Posted November 6, 2001 That's not Dan's car, Lone. His car is going to make that one look like a plain Jane runner.... Dan has much more aggressive (but very tastefully done) flares in the rear of his car. I can't wait to see what his car looks like with paint!!!!! Go Dan Go!
