Cool cool... Any links to pics of other z's with pantera hatches? Maybe I should make some molds of mne?

Also, as you can tell I'm like... Minimally concerned with body work. I'm pretty focused on the performance element right now. Prettiness comes last!

Hey, Welcome to the forums. That Pantera hatch on your Z is pretty awesome. As you've already seen. No one ever stays on topic, but again. Welcome to a really cool place.

Haha I'm late to the party as usual, but welcome to the boards and nice ZX. I haven't seen that bodykit before except the rear hatch. Looks like a good base to start tuning from, good luck with the project!

Dude, that body kit makes me want to grow my beard out for about 3 day's, dig my old white linen sport coat out of hibernation, put it on with some white Levi's and shoes with no socks then go cruising around Miami looking for bad guys! .

Seriously though... it looks good.

Rod.
