looks like a blind 12 year old with parkinsons made it. go back to stock and just try to retro fit some ZG flares on it and get an MSA kit.

that's a bad start because it doubles the weight of the car and acts as the equivalent of about 1/4 sheet of plywood just stuck in front of the grille. sure you'll cut a hole, but the big flat front is very poor for aerodynamics. other than that, there is WAY too much material going down the sides and around the wheels. it looks terrible. i'm not just trying to flame you, but you did ask for feedback. so that's my opinion on it. i would be embarrassed to even ride in a car with a body shaped like that. i hope the rest of the work you do on it is going to entail taking off 90% of the material that you've put on there.

what you should have done, was laid out foam blocks on the car and cut and sanded those till you came up with a shape acceptable, because all you did was make a wall in the from and back but then only flared the outer ridges of the body line like someone just rolled the lips in every area, doesnt flow in style well, you should have just made custom flares that taper down at the bottom of the wheel wells then non flared side skirts and a lower profile front and rear then carved, that or you have to flare the ENTIRE fender and rear quarter otherwise the flow is just wacky as hell. plus now your working with 100+ lbs of fiberglass layer after layer, with the foam blocks you coulda fixed mistakes much easier and back tracked if you saw a way to improve what was happening then layd the glass over it like a mold and it would have weighed much less. just saying, you got WAY to carried away and jumped right in with no real planning, and IMHO that 280zx looks like crap, the wheels don't even come close to extinding to the end of the wide wells they made.
