its alright. Again, looks like a Type II but with two fog light holes cut.

Paint it, then take pics with a better camera right next to a 280ZX with the type II installed.

pfft... LS motors aint cheap plus you got an ECU to deal with. oh but does anyone know i know the LS motor's like the 5.7 liters are a 350 motor in technical sense, but would they have the same mounting setup as the original chevy 350 aka so you can use the pre made swap parts made by whats there faces for our Z's to mate with a 350 motor

No, the JTR swap parts for the SBC do NOT fit the LSx motors. You have to get a separate set of motor mounts and exhaust manifolds. Can't remember the name of the guy that makes them off the top of my head...

It's not that hard to make your own harness, my friend made his own harness with pretty much no wiring diagrams for the blacktop 20v 4AGE. It takes some work, but once you start to get the idea of how things work it's really not that bad. You can probably damn near get an LS with a complete harness too, and all you'd need to do would probably make some splices.

Your new air dam does look a bit ricey right now... but only because it's not painted and you don't have any of the other body parts to match the air dam's lines (something ricers love to do). Like Bleach said, get it painted to match the rest of your car... then order an MSA II rear bumper.

yesturday i got it in via fedex and fit trimmed and primered it, then this evening i sanded painted and cleared, waited a few minutes and ever so carfully installed for pics. iv worked for some major ball chaffing bass tards, which have taught me to shave time off my project, and i know how to work fast. trust me major asses for bosses, i got fired becuz my cnc machining was falling behind schedule by seconds, literally and schedule was set from install part + run time of machine x number of parts. lmao anyone heard of Aero Dynamics? they mainly do sprint car race wheels? they also had us take off safety switches too so we could get in the machine before it stopped to get the part off. illegal as hell. but that was a few years ago, thats my rant and my chest feels better. i hope the right ppl read this and shut that company down, lmao

by the way im looking for a new job now. time to change. anyone know of a good one in tulsa?

I was just wondering if it was spray can paint or spray gun with a compressor.
Now I understand how you whipped that together so fast.

that's bad for the environment. I drive a VW Bus running on solar power and play my acoustic guitar in the park all day long.
