Okay Dave, obviously you like the treatment to the body....so do I

I think it looks kind of cool. The mods are nice, but your car is more than 1/2 way there to his motor package.

Now, not to rain on the parade, but either this person had money to burn doing the body mods? Changing the rear bumper cover is not tough, but buying the parts couldn't be cheap? The front bumper is not exactly a Saturday project in the driveway and I doubt that is a cheap part? Then there is the paint work, done right that wasn't a driveway project either.

Therefore, my first Q is was there body damage at the front & rear? I don't mean to cast doubt upon this person's honor....I'm just saying why do all that if the body was okay?

Unless I'm rich & absolutely love the interior of my 90 Z, why do I make it into a 95 body as opposed to just buying a 95 Z?

I doubt 500 to the wheels. Maybe to the crank with about 410-430 to the wheels.

I'm with him

I do not think the cosmetic mods work well together.

Perhaps it was a typo, has happened to me many times.

While the body mods are not my taste, apparently some like them. They do not create a hazard/nuisance for other drivers, so the criticism may be a bit harsh?

Wonder how he got just the rear bumper? Pretty sure Callaway only sells complete aerobody kits.

Yeah I was wondering that too.. Rob, you are correct, if you want the Callway body pieces you have to buy the whole kit.. ~$9500

If I was to guess, a previous owner wrecked an aerobody car and choose to rebulid the front end with a 95 front clip and hood.
