You have a nice looking Z. I personally like the red though. It is a great looking color on a Z and it can still be European-esq. Have you decided to go after the front and rear euro spoilers? I think that would look very unique and awesome.

p.s. The foglights remind me of old pictures of CannonBall run cars.

p.p.s. The continuous rubber on the bumper is different. You dont want to go with no rubber?

I agree with v12horse, red is a classic color. A dark charcoal grey or "Mercedes" silver looks very nice too. I think the spoked wheels are a key element to the classic european look. I like the big driving lights, but the side mirrors are too modern. Maybe chrome bullets? It's the look I want on my Z one day as well. Cheers! David

Thanks for the input, Gentlemen. I would be satisfied with red too, but unfortunately the color you see in the photos is not really representative of it's true color. My cheapo digital camera doesn't do it justice, it's actually more of a "metallic Cream-of-Tomato Soup" red. Yuck. It's starting to show it's age as well (respray is over 20 years old, it's actually held up pretty good). The factory color was 112 Yellow (Groovy Yellow as I tell my kids), but I just cant see myself going back to it. The paint, spoilers, most of the bodywork in general will need to wait for now, too many other things going on. It's nice to have Photoshop to play with ideas for the future though. As for the bumper rubber, I realize it's not factory, something the PO did. I've thought about going "naked", but the more I look at it, the more I like how it's different from all the rest. I think the bumper is slightly bowed (it does have a couple of dings, but the chrome is good). If I come across a good spare I might snatch it up, it will give me some room to play. I actually did another version of this view with a "split-bumper". Looks pretty good IMHO.

P.S. I work at a craft brewery. Pays poorly, but great benefits! :-) I like your tag line!
