wow....definitely lovin' it

The '06 heads/tails look fantastic, and the spoiler just flows so well. The hood looks great, very aggressive, however I'm not sure if I would have gone that route. Regardless, the car looks amazing. Keep up the good work!

I didn't know they fixed the lights for '06. Those look so much better than the older ones.

I like the hood on one condition: those better be functional heat extractors! I am actually looking for a hood with heat extractors for my GTO. Underhood temps with turbo systems (even low-mount like APS does) get INSANE on a hot track day.

Nice car.

great fckn eye. Yeah, basically the owner of the car let his buddy drive it... the guy who drove it got into an accident and was drunk. Insurance wouldn't pay for the damages and the owner has no $$$$ either. Basically, it's been @ the shop for about 6 months!

I don't like many aftermarket hoods but yours is

Your rear looks very clean. Very nice!

Any way to get rid of the rear wiper? Would make the rear super clean then.

Otherwise looks pretty good. I would have left the vents unpainted though.

Not stop modding the exterior before you overkill it! Then again since its not your daily.. order some 20s for it now.

Looks good... I'd kill those side emblems as well, but maybe thats a Z-sin or something.

looks great. I love that spoiler. Hood is sweet too, just enough to set it off, but not over the top.

Ya, shame about that rear wiper. I'd say leave it now... (imo), looks good, but any more might be pushing it.

I just saw these pictures on ChicagoZ and I was like wow....I usually dont like aftermarket hoods but I absolutly love the hood and everything that you did to it...

Dude, my brother was going to enter his car in the show tomarrow but stupid Ultimate Z didnt finish...I had convinced him to enter and that i thought he would win something but they didnt finish... he dropped it off 3 weeks ago and he went there last week to check up on it and they didnt even start on it.... he was getting alot done to it but it should have been done by know

Oh well, what's done is done.. hopefully he gets it back soon. Personally, I would NEVER get my car worked on by Ultimate Z. You should have brought it to Car Medics. Good luck!

looks great. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the hood, but at least it is unique. Overall, one of the nicest Z's I've seen. It makes my fairly stock Z look boring

Just beautiful.

Nice additions with the headlamps. I bet these projectors are soo much better than the previous ones.

wow- the hood absolutely ties the front end together, i think it looks great. The one thing i noticed was the gap between the hood and the fender- is it like that on both sides or did they not center it right?

Any plans to shave the antenna/wiper?


Car looks gorgeous as always, and even better with the new treatment- cant wait to see your seats

That hood is sick. the car looks bananas, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I'm serious, if they tell you otherwise, fight them.

I think that the rims are the only thing I'm not in love with about your car. Not that I don't like them, but I think other rims would look better.

The pics are kinda wack, may look worse then it is....but their is a minor gap. I can live with it, and I'm picky. I hate Veilside. The hood was absolute crap. It took a shitload of work to make work. The shop put more layers of fiberglass then what was originally on the hood! I'll never buy a veilside product again. Gettng rid of the antenna is a good idea, but I dont know if I'll do it... never really noticed it until it was mentioned here.
