Currently Im in need of a grill, I was thinking of going to some junk yards to find something similar to the photoshop picture, anyone know which the largest salvage yards are?

mitchell island for junkers

you've basically ruined te lines of hte car, way too long in teh front now

i appreciate what you're trying to do, but i love hte look of those 300zx's... if you want an aston martin, save your pennies, or like most vancouverites - ask your parents

What the fuck is that? You paper mache your car?

Obvious troll is obvious.

lolz
i don't care if its a troll or not but i love it!
LOL i've always hated the front end of the 300zx and this has finally changed it
just like how i love the veilside widebody on the FD cuz it takes away the stupid looking front end

Paper Mache, my thoughts exactly.

Are you going to put candy in the bumper and drive to a fiesta afterwards too?

I'm 12 and what is this?

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::bullshit:

Arash is what is developing because I feel dirty just looking at that abomination.

Berz out.

Just wait for its new paint job and shiny wheels Berz, then Im sure you'll change your opinion.

I dont know about ruining the lines of the car, I think it still flows nicely and if you compare a 300zx next to it, it shouldnt be any longer.

Im going to be selling this kit by the way and my next kit will be an Aston Martin One-77 replica, interior and exterior.
My main goal is to offer a car with sexy super car curves but for a price that most people can afford.

Even if it was out of paper mache does that make the design not good enough for you?

In reference to the animal pictures, in the automobile design world, cars have faces, means ones and happy ones... I've chosen to go with a happy one.

Its a new car design kiddo, now go tell mommy and daddy to throw away that generic box they have in the drive way and to bring their monies to me in exchange for a cool car.

The "box" I generally like to drive is a swedish weapon of destruction.

I honestly can appreciate the time you're putting into this. Bodywork is not my forte and I will give you props for putting in the time. But personally, I do not like it at all. I have nothing against the 300zx front end.

As far as making a car "look" like a more expensive car. That is something I am completely against. Drive what you got and be proud of it, there's a car for everyone at every price level.

i honestly dont even think its that bad

I dont wish for people to want a replica for its status, but for its artistic beauty.
These are replicas

^ You haven't looked at many cars then...

Also the front end looks like some kinda wack alien with those black lights.

Post some affordable cars and I will point out their faults.

Firstly its not a sports car, its what you want in the snow because it has 4x4?

Next it looks like one of the earliest Ford suv's (right when these class of cars started becoming popular), with a face lift... a hurting one. Finally, in the first picture, it looks like a constipated dog.

edit
looking over my pictures, there from yesterday... I think my cars front point needs to be lifted an inch or two to be level like before when I took off the fiberglass shell. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_aqdJkNjP_iM/TG...8/s800/rrr.jpg

Under 50k? Toyota MR2 (All gens); Nissan Skyline GTR (R32); Nissan 350z; Subaru STi (all but the bugeye); Datsun 240z (hell any Z car); Infiniti G35; Toyota Celica (7th gen), etc etc etc. All very unique looking cars to anyone who is any kind of car enthusiast.

For me, bugeye WAGONS are my favorite. It's probably gonna be my next car.
