Turning the Z into the Batmobile!

theBird · 01-23-2012, 04:59 AM

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.

Sir, I call you a troll. Good day.

I was going to suggest spending the money on a psychiatrist to ride shotgun...

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

shenanigans, Bond wasn't a superhero!

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.
