damn now i'm contemplating if i should mod the body of my Z. i've been back and forth about keeping it original, or modding the ---- out of it. yours looks nice. is that original green?

Yup. all original paint. I found a lighter tea green that came on the 260's that I like. It'll stay green when it gets painted. I debated for awhile too on to keep it stock or do some body mods to it. The spoiler was made for a 240/260 since you can see the cutouts for the turn signals there. I'm not a big fan of the grill mounted 280 signals so thats why I chose the earlier model.

Hey it may say ghettofied but I'm not that ghetto! lol. I'll leave that up to you EF guy to use for your front lips. These are ZG fender flare reproduction pieces. Their actually pretty nice pieces made from nice molds and good fiberglass cloth. Not the angel hair stuff or anything like that.

I quick put a coat of paint on the airdam and riveted on the flares. Found some body filler on the car when I was drilling holes :-\ I took off the side molding too which was a big eye sore for me that I absolutely hated. I'm thinking of giving it a rattle can paint job and filling alot of holes and fixing some rust just to make it not look like it was shot in a driveby by buckshot. lol. Tossed on pretty much everything I had besides the suspension. That will come this weekend since I have off for 4 days. 8) I still need to get some 240-260 turn signals since they mount where the big slots in the airdam under the headlights instead of in the grill like it was before. I didn't rivet the last spot on the flare where the airdam meets the fender since thats all gonna get molded together so it'll flow together more.
