I know its not practical but the rear wing at 180mph generates around 1800pnds of down force and would collapse the CF hatch. I talked to APR and I talked to Seibon about the issue. We are actually looking to frame mount the rear wing. So if I find a good deal on a CF hatch I may jump on it.

I find it funny that the guys over at my350 think i havent done my research... lol it cracks me up. I studied the my350z boards and their experiences mainly their failures and how not to do builds and I said F**** it I am going to do it right the first time. I had a list of parts and packages I gave to Sam. Sam went through my list and gave me some ideas and some things I needed to consider. this was not some over night decision. rather this was a decision that was made over weeks and months.

I will always have haters and I know that... I have gotten used to it lol. People hate my wheel color choice until they see it in person then they love it... so far I have a 100% conversion rate on wheel haters hahahaha

Honestly, I dont want to go airride and would rather have a roberta style cup kit. But After speaking with the techs over at Ridetech they have a new racing air bag line replacing their titanium series. which by the way is being custom made by Fox racing shox for their applications.

People will always hate my choice in parts. I dont care and they can voice their opinions on deaf ears. It is my car, my styling and for my purposes. This is the third car I have built but it is also the most extreme build I have ever done. This to me is art you either get it or you dont...

Thank you to all the supporters!

weiboy thank you for posting up pics! I hope you enjoyed seeing the car!

I really enjoyed looking at your car that day. I couldn't get enough just looking at it. The people that hasn't seen this in person really have no idea how beautiful it is built. From the front to back the lines of the car flows along the body kit so well. Far away for a person that doesn't know much will think you got a wide body kit lol. I had thought you did too. Those quad titanium exhaust looks freaking amazing, not something you'll see everyday on a Z. Great choice! Too bad I didn't get to see what you have inside your car.
Your wheels are crazy also, polished lip with blue. It matches pretty good with your car's color especially with those huge and I mean huge lips, what is it? Like 5-6inches deep lol.

Good job! I'm a fan of your car and how nicely, tastefully it is done. Keep up the good work!

like I said before your doing something right if everyone and there mama has something to say about your car...

it's just people just wish builds go in a certain direction when money isn't an issue..

cause since we all love Z cars your car is a statement for all of us...
hence all the coaching on what you needs to and what not...

I'm sure that doesn't make sense...

props on what you've done so far...waiting to see what you got in store...
