Looks great so far, cannot wait to see the finished product.

Are you putting 325 tires on those wheels?

Probably going to be bit too exaggerated for my tastes. Definitely more GT class than factory Z car. But I can definitely appreciate the effort and engineering to accomplish something like this.

Agreed with the "badass" comment.. cant wait to see the finished product. Should look awesome!

This might be a bit too wide for me, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I'm thinking 'doublewide' and all that goes with it.
