and I was trying to make a cross between a beetle and audi fox.... the window spoiler was just to show where it would have to go, I considered the trailing edge of the roof but it would be small and discreet, and both would be fugly.. alternately having the spoiler in the normal location would hide the contouring of the new ass, which the side exit helps keep clean

Well it's gonna seem like I'm playing up? what you're saying .. but I appreciate the talent and the idea. I like some of it .. some of it I don't .. but it does bring out "ideas" ...

I like the tailpipe treatment .. lover valence/bumper is also on "track" .. maybe a bit much for some tastes .. but it can work ..

keep the ideas and imagination flowing ...

Looks definately English, or european influence. I like the bumper, it could work. I think the tail lights look whack though. And that wing is plain out of order. Pretty cool idea though.

You know .. I've looked, and re-looked at that photograph .. and I still can't visualize how it looks .. or attaches ..or ??

To me it looks very porsche...
not my cup of tea but id does have some nice notes

really what I think the Z31 tail is missing is simply in its height, if someone were to do what's already been done with the front lips, and sideskirts in the rear to brink it downward, give it an ass for once.

unless its got back, my anaconda dont want none!

Definately looks like a 928 rear end. Really not bad for the clean finish, but i see what you mean about needing a place for the wing.

whoever did this clearly doesn't respect himself

I ain't no hater, playa...I'm just giving you shazbot.

It like when the fashion designers from Milan roll out
the new fashion and its sequined dog-crap tiaras and
pantsuits made from recycled pez dispensers. You
might eventually see someone at the mall wearing a
sequined brown belt with a pez dispenser for a buckle.


Ok, maybe not exactly like that, but i see where you're coming from.

Then paint the stock lights a trim color, cut holes and install new ones like he did. LED ones from a semi trailer might look cool.

Ideas are good, they build creativity, but basic lines of a good car shouldn't be drastically changed. IMO.

A drastic change to the rear of a Z31 will most likely disassociate it with the Z31 overall. That could be a good thing in some cases but overall I don't seeing it work in this scenario in the smallest degree.

Something like the convertible Z31 which was done on a limited scale will actually have some market value, but drastic body modifications that are "one off" type alterations can devalue a car drastically. We have all seen a "one off" customized car that the owner thought was cool but most people wouldn't give them a plug nickle for.

Granted, my point only applies to popular and therefore resale value, but just how much do you want to deviate from the stock or aftermarket body lines?

Up to the individual.

Strong point there... I guess although the z31 does have its quirks... Overall its still a damn sexy car.
