who are you kidding. At first my friend said he didnt want that hood so i was like ok good i dont have to model it but now hes having 2nd thoughts lol. Hes like i want to push you so im making u model it lol so I think im going ot do that last because its a killer. The only thing im thinking about is should i have the kit molded or a add on.

if you look at this pic, the guy molded the body kit to make it look part of the car (1 piece with the fenders) which looks real nice so im not sure how im going ot do the rest of the fenders yet thats y theres no updates lol

***This pic is molded fenders****

Ok I did a little bit of work today. Not to much because I was trying to fix my mesh and get all bumps out my hood and fenders. Those BPs suck so im doing the stock model and I think im just going add a lip kit for now. When im finished, then ill do the body kit. There is this lip kit i found which only found a few pics of, but is enough for me to get a good amount of details.. anyways heres updates

and This is the reference pic im using for the kit im going to be doing.

P.S.
Those screen shots were done in maya. I wanted to see how smooth they are with a sub-d on it because sub-ds shows all sorts of errors that smooths dont so im actually going back an forth between programs trying to make sure everything is perfectly smooth.

im not sure. I was thinking about it but then again, my fav rims are the 5zigen hypers and thats what i modeled so im still deciding. Maybe when im done with the front half, ill model those rims and see which one looks better and have people decide. yea that 350z is so hot, its not too much but enough to say nice mods

Here you go, I got the idea from this guy who showed me his mesh. i PM'ed him and he helped me out with the idea. He gave me pointers cause when i was just cuttin, i was getting bumps so he told me to model it flat, the add a bend to it, the replace it with the faces already on my mesh and it worked perfectly

If you need more wires, feel free to ask. I dont mind since thats how i leared

yup, i plan on doing everything including the interior. I want to learn so im going to use this project as a test. I fixed the logo up a bit cause 1, it was too small and 2, the end parts (the square part that goes past the circle) went out too long on my old one so i re-molded it and made it better. Hopefully I dont have to do it over again cause i spend 3 hours lol and this is my 5th try at is so basically all day.
