Turning the Z into the Batmobile!
 
Hi friends,

Ever since I was a kid Ive always wanted a car that only a superhero would drive. I am now in the position to purchase my "birdmobile", and I have chosen the Z.

My question is; what colour, kit, wheels, mods and extras do I need to turn the Z into a crime fighting machine?

To give you an idea, Im a cross between Batman, Wolverine and James Bond. I hope that helps you decide what I need for the car.

A black Nismo could look like a Batmobile...

You could always go with a black one and hang the Hotwheels kit on it.

I think this is gonna be the thread that makes my day.. carry on please.

sfearl1 01-23-2012 08:14 AM

shenanigans, Bond wasn't a superhero!

theBird 01-23-2012 08:36 AM

Thanks for the replies friends.

The hotwheels kit is a little bit over the top in my opinion. I wouldnt mind a kit to it, but not that over the top where in a years time you would be thinking "what the hell was I thinking?"

Im leaning towards the colour of gun metal, white or maybe even the silver.

Is anyone aware of any interior modifications to make the car more "batman"? And also are seat covers available... I spend alot of time at the gym and dont want to get my sweat infused in to the leather. I would use the covers for the times I train, and take them off for other times.

Thanks again.

Well when you spoke of wanting to go batman, I could only assume you wanted "over the top"! :)

gbrettin 01-23-2012 09:13 AM

I think your best bet would be hot glue and cardboard.

i am not sure if i am comfortable where this thread is heading. :icon17: ;)

gbrettin 01-23-2012 10:14 AM

I think we all know where it's going.

NewlyIMPORTed 01-23-2012 10:19 AM

You could put the gtr vents on the hood and have uzi's Come up out of them.. thats pretty bond.

5.0 vs Z? :ughdance:

OP, for a proper batmobile you will need to install a flame thrower where the rear fog light would normally go. :tiphat:

I figure it this way:

We may not always agree with something that someone else has chosen to do for their vehicle, but if it makes them happy...well then who are we to poo-poo on that? :)

Jordo! 01-23-2012 10:30 AM

Sorry to thread-jack, but anyone know where to get the hot wheels roof and decklid spoilers? Duplicates are fine.

Thanks!

I want to know how to turn the 370 into my favortie Hot Wheels car from when I was a kid. You guessed it -- it is the Jack Rabbit Special.

RoadZter 01-23-2012 10:36 AM

At first I was like :gtfo2: then after seeing those pics of the seat covers and shift knob :icon18:. Now, I'm hoping this dude actually turns his car into a "birdmobile". It would be epic!

Ron 01-23-2012 10:51 AM

theBird 01-23-2012 03:26 PM

Thanks friends for your replies. I am still undecided on my plans.

Ron; that looks pretty awesome. Thats kind of what Im looking for. I think I want to stay away from black though. I have had a black car before, and it is a bitch to keep clean.

NewelyImported; I like the Z in your avatar. Is that yours?

I dont actually want the bat-sign anywhere on my car. I am not batman. I am birdMan. But I want the car to look "superhero" without been too over the top(ie; ridicucolous kits).

Thanks again.

happytheman 01-24-2012 09:45 PM

Ok dude, you wanted the following criteria:
1) No batman symbol
2) Vehicle not black in color
3) superhero-esque theme
4) birdman superhero

I think I have met the criteria as requested. My work is done now!:tup:

Can someone explain how you make a non-batmobile, batmobile??? This is one of the most confusing threads I've ever read.
