Thanks Shady. And,yes thats my ZX in my avitar. It will eventually be covered in HotHues gold with purple and red graphics.I did the nose the way i did because i wanted something different than all of the available spoilers that are out there.and,yes i do my own paint.
I fell in love with this zx 10 years ago and have drove it untill i got beat by a 68 Stingray.last year. Now shes getting a 350 4-bolt at about 400 hp with a 6 speed manual trans.I won't get beat by him again. Oh yeah,the vette that beat me is my brothers that i helped him build!

There's something about me, I prefer to stomp on ricers with V8 torque, but I prefer to smack down the US domestics with Nissan turbo power!

i'll tell ya one thing. It would be decleard as a hybrid. That's only if, and only if i can get my hands on such a motor. But if i can't. then stock N/A will remain.

So is the front of your ZX going to stay in the manner that it is? Like that it really gives it a look even closer to the S30 than it already had.

I think it's a pretty sweet look. Can't wait to see what this car will look like when it's done. So you molded all that and everything yourself? One thing I've been curious about, is how do you even begin to do that, or how does someone like me begin to learn to do any of that?
