Not bad man, I kinda like it. I would change the design of the front bumper also. I like the color though. Good luck with everything.

I like it... the front bumper doesnt look that bad to me... in fact, I think that it fits the spoiler...

This is like the 3rd or 4th time you've posted a thread about your new body kit and TII conversion. You really only need to do it once.

ha, sounds like you did some decent mods... Really, my only beef is with the color matched mesh. Paint it black (get some contrast) and I think you'll have a good looking car...

^^ I agree- black would look sharp against the yellow. Otherwise, I really don't mind the looks of the nose- at least you kept the FTP lenses, and a huge FMIC doesn't detract asthetically at all

Not a yellow fan, but I think this car really pulls it off nicely, BTW.

If you out ran a C6, he wasn't trying or couldn't drive. You're probably about 125hp down and Vettes arent that heavy. No offence or anything, just letting you know

Car is not my cup of tea but it looks like you have put alot or hard work into it.

Talking

I'm interested in putting a body kit on my car but am not sure where to get them from. The only place i have found them is mazdatrix.com, but they have like one and its not really all that impressive.

I wouldn't say that for sure... I mean a stock Z06 has like 405Hp... If he has enough mods he might be able to keep up with one depending on what he's done to it... I mean he does have a tll conversion, and I have seen some N/A 1st gens. run 10sec. 1/4mile... anything is possible... it depends on how much time and money invested... maybe you should find out what mods he actually has before you say that...

I dont like the look of the front end but i really appreciate the functionality of it. Especially the cut outs for the IC and the headlight scoop that it actually a scoop rather than a hole. Nice....

As for the original poster, its all clear to me now. I always wondered why my girlfriend (jamaican) had a thing for hideous yellow cars. Now i know. Good job on the fc, I kinda like the front the way it is. The interior cool too IMO, my friends 95 prelude had something similar done cheap/shitty and we had to swap it out to fight off nausea, your looks pretty clean.
