whoa you have some work ahead of you :)

i have an idea, if money is short, post an ad on craigslist and try to find people willing to trade a oem hood,bumper,sideskirts,etc for your aftermarket ones

youll find people that will do that :)

Yes that's a good idea. I'm going to post them on tonight I know some people are always looking for something different then I am. Good idea :)

Is that a 94-95 front end? I really like the clear corner lights & I'm tryin to buy some for mine. I bought some for a 98 off this kid on craigslist & they don't fit.

Yes that is a 94-95 front end. i think that the clear sidemarkers actually came from Ebay. They came with the car but most of the car is ebay haha.

Well im too lazy to read all through the thread but it mainly depends on what you like. Its YOUR car. Make it you. Now with that said my opinion is:

I love the paint. I love that color on the 350Z. I always wounderd what it would look like on something else.
If your gonna keep the bumper and skirts I think it look better with something on the front like a lip or something to make it flow better. Looks to high in front haha.
I dont like the hood. lol.
I dont really like the looks of the exhaust..id either get a newer one or polish it up.
The wing is ehhh.

But dont get me wrong thousands of kids would love the looks!

I'm trying to find a stock bumper right now I really dont wan't to keep that one. Thanks for the paint comment :) The front is way higher then the rest but that's probably my fault. My mechanic smashed the one that came with the body kit so all he bought me was the stock bumper and I haven't had money to buy the lip for it. :)

As far as cleaning my engine bay....There's AC in there but it doesn't work. Should I just take that out/? Also the cruise control doesn't work either...

Do you have your PS removed? If so...you must be buff! I've driven my friends GSR and I could truely say...I've tackled a bear!!!

Oh and wire tucking kills the resell value...just somthing to think about.

yeah i do, its not bad unless your sitting still. i've got some guns :p hahahh.
and yeah, i guess if someone who buys it who doesn't know what they're getting,
i'd buy a car with a wire tuck, mine has a mild one, i need to get on it more.
i think they're sexy but whatever the OP wants!

I think I might leave the power steering! I don't like the way it feels without it but I can remove everything else. Bad news on the doors :( When I took the fabric off it was way worse then I expected. The doors like completely cracked and looks like shit. I just went on ebay and I"m thinking about ordering a whole new pair of doors. Theyre 500 dollars but worth it I think.

I looked and I couldn't really find any. I'm thinking about getting whole doors because mine have door poppers so the door handles are shaved. They're a complete mess because they don't work most of the time. I need door handles I think. I'll just keep on searching :)

you could fix the cracks with fiberglass and resin. also, you could reupholster the panels yourself too. mine are cracked where the elbow would rest at and it cracks every time i lean on it.

but anywho, here's the blue suede i did on my buddy's dc
