2007 350z Still WIP

djblackmon · 04-16-2007, 05:59 PM

Here is a Z I saw somebody else chop, and thought it was a nice photo to chop. So far all I did was put rims, I am lowering it right now. I dont really know what to do, so I will take requests.

Original

Chop

Now Lowered

Please bear with me with the choppy lines, my mouse is really sticky, planning on buying a laser mouse/

Painted and tinted

B.T.W. If nobody noticed, Im using the STi rims and paint.

I got some requests to do an STi front end with the stock Z headlights, so I will do my best.

So far, I put the hood scoop on, and got the reflection basically perfect. =D

only a wheel change, plus this is the wrong forum. You need to post in the chops in progress forum. The rims look alright nice placing. the front right wheel, the back, needs to be changed because right now its still showing the shadow off the original rim...

Just lowered it, not anymore.

It looks good, remember that cobalt chop of yours? That was fun

When you lowered the car, you didn't fill out the spaces between the wheel wells, as a result, I can see light through it, get a black brush, and fill that space out. And also you might want to work with a bigger pic.

djblackmon · 04-16-2007, 08:08 PM

Yea, I remeber that.

I reminding myself when lowering the car to fill in the space with light, but I guess I forgot because of all the frustration from my darn mouse...

As for the bigger image, the image is much bigger, I just resized it on imageshack for those using slow internet access.

New update, painted, tinted, and fixed light coming through fenders.

P.S. If nobody noticed, Im using the STi rims and paint.

I realized that the second I saw it lol. It looks good now, you lowered it to hide the reflection huh? lol jk nice smooth color change and decal shaving, Lookin lots better, I dont know what you did to the vent below the light though, its white and it looks kind of weird... lol.

Carty · 04-16-2007, 10:25 PM

decent chop, not a lot done, first thing i noticed was the STi parts.. I dont think it really fits the car, but nicely executed

djblackmon · 04-16-2007, 10:33 PM

Thanks for the comments guys, I really appreciate it.

What vent below the light? I didnt touch any of the grilles.

WR Blue pearl for the win! i could definitely see my Z in that color...

how about an sti front end swap? maybe a rally Z? full nismo decals.

Moncef · 04-17-2007, 09:14 AM

Yeah I'm with Mike on that one. Do a front end swap, but keep the headlights

djblackmon · 04-17-2007, 02:08 PM

I'll try my best on that one...

By the way, which STi front do you want me to use? The newer style, the oval-ish front end, or the bug-eyed front end?

Also, I just got the hood scoop on. =P

Supra3019 · 04-17-2007, 05:17 PM

smooth execution on the hood scoop. Good job bro, this is a Nissan 350Sti

Mike Minnillo · 04-18-2007, 01:22 AM

bug eye (02-02) all the way! either that, or the 04-05 front end. definitely not the front end off of an 06+. that would be ugly. id love to see how a bug eye front would look on there.

Carty · 04-18-2007, 01:35 AM

it wouldnt match the curves of the car

djblackmon · 04-18-2007, 11:07 PM

Well, I guess I'll just put some decals to add to the rally feel.

This is true actually, considering the fact that even body kit manufacturers have yet to put together a nice kit for the Z33. IMO, this car's curves are very unique, and it's hard to put together something that'll flow, besides stretching the bumper and adding vents and scoops out the ***. The scoop looks really nice though, just try a little more on matching the colors, and it's leaning a little crooked I think.

Well, you've done the simple photochop mods, time to step it up

Do you accept the challenge?

Moncef out.

I've been looking all week trying to find some decal to put on, but can't find any, so I'll post it as is. I am not good with brushing, since my mouse sucks, so I am not going to attempt to brush decals/vinyls on.
