the pieces are lighter than stock? so you took the bumper off and replaced it with that? i doubt that's lighter than the bumper. really. if it is, it doesn't have any strength. there's a reason they use the plastic that they do for the bumpers. because it's light and resilient.

yeah..... show cars don't have all that crap on them. they get laughed out of shows. just accept this: you are one of the only very few people that like that. VERY few people. it's turning a car into a piece of art. but a car isn't meant to be art, it's meant to be functional. if you want art, put it on something stationary.

art... art is any meaningful representation of an idea or feeling. so every car is art, but thats like painting a dick in the mona lisa's mouth. lol jk, the Z31 isn't that good looking, but still....

its not everyones taste. dont take it personal. i have crap on my z that not alot of people like. owell. your car is in a rough stage. give it a little while and then see what it turns out to. dude as long as your happy with it by all means go at it. this forum is not very big so be prepared to be flamed no matter what. the glass work is not that bad. ill give you props.
also looking at your pics was wondering why you didnt just make that rear quarter panel flush? left a gap between the wheel flare and bumper. was thinking it would curves would flow better. but again its your car. also any structural reinforcement on that front bumper?one bad thing about fiberglass kit is speed bumps and bumps will destroy it pretty fast.

her is a link to another forum of some kind where a guy decided to fab up a wide body also.

i assume that this is more what you are going for? minus the lambo doors hopefully.
but as you can see it takes more than just slapping on some glass to make a custom wide body.

have you looked in your driveway recently? maybe you should, or shouldn't.
there is way more creativity and thought in his concept, and i missed the part where you thought about, or put any creativity in throwing an abundance of glass on your car.
