Beautiful 240z. You've done a really nice job on it. I think the rims look great. The headlight surrounds in black throw me a bit. It looks fine in the front, but distorts the profile. The old car traditionalist in me thinks the whole body in orange would suit it best.

I hope you take my opinion with the friendly enthusiasm I send it with.

or as the saying goes 'opinions are like a-holes... everyone has one'.

Is that an RB I see? If so, please deliver said 240 to Miami, kthx.

In all seriousness, that is one SEXY S30!

Also, nice looking 2.5RS coupe, those are hard to come by.

Appreciate it! The RS is the DD and it's a 99. It's stock except axleback and the prodrive wheels
