wheels need to be wider and lower offset. You need coilovers BADLY!!! lose the 4x4 status STAT!
A smoother sideskirt would be nice, it's not like those vents in the back are actually functional, so lose them!
Car has some potential once the "rice boy" parts are ditched/fixed.
here's a car we recently built.

Well, I guess theres always gonna be one cocky a**hole who has to degrade everyone elses projects. First off, I will say that the RB26 Z is beautiful and the swap looks clean, and I am sure it has way more money in it considering it appears to be a "Shop Built Car" . 2nd, Im not sure what you are talking about as far as "rice boy looks" because I dont see in any way where my car has any kind of ricer apearence but once again, opinions are like a**holes and everyone has them. I posted my car on here just to show that it was different, because to me that is what its all about(which explains the ls swap) 3rd, about the wheels, since you seem to be the genius, how much wider should I go than the current 19x11 with 295's in the rear? The fenders were custom flared specifically for the measurements of these wheels. Like I originally said, to me it is about being different!
I expected for some people not to like it and thats fine because everyones opinion is different but its a little different when someone comes on here and bashes your car and rips away at all the hard work and time you put in it to make it how YOU wanted it. Im sure it took a lot of time to build the RBZ too, but the difference is that I built mine in my garage at home from start to end, not in a professional shop.

don't get me wrong, I like the car for the most part. I was posting my opinion. I'm not pretending to be the end-all voice of car styling, I respect that you may like styling things I don't.
I define rice as fake function. Vinyl carbon fiber, side skirts with vents leading to nothing, fake hood vents, etc. etc.
Like I said, I think with smooth side skirts and even just lower the car would look boss. The rolled fenders + fender gap looks odd to me. That could just be because i'm used to having 5mm between the top/side of my tire to my fender.
P.S. that is not a shop-funded car. It is a private owner.

I don't particuarly like his car's styling, but I'm not going to rip on it either.
PS: This picture is hilarious. Your passenger looks so happy about riding with you.

Word, everyone needs to calm down. No need to get offended. Normally I would chime in on a Z32 swap but there isn't much to say. The swap looks clean, but the body could use some work. Both the old and new paints are nice but all of the body mods are a little overdone; stock body and Jspec tails are good enough for me. Overall, good swap.

Well, considering my car is only driven on the track. They serves the purpose of getting the camera's and sponsors' attention; it does this extremely well.
that and I have a thing for rainbow luminescence. I'd do the whole car in it if I could!
