Never been the biggest fans of UAS, but your car looks clean.
Nice to see you got it right, right out the gate.
Keep it up.

Thanks for the comments-I didnt have to remove any plastics (fender lining)-i had to cut a lower part on the drivers side fender liner as it was in the way of the solenoid. No fender rolling either-but the wheels dont sit flush-they tuck in. I may get spacers and push them out-but not sure on that as of yet. Here is a rear profile shot:

Thanks-I did the muffler delete on the exhaust-but i got something else up my sleeve for that (comming soon). Thanks for the tails-i didnt like the red/clear look so much, so I had the red/clears smoked to acheive the look.

And dumped-I think I'm going to go with 25mm spacers to push it out a bit. I still want the wheels to tuck, but want them out further as well

Here is what I have planned for the exhaust-Trust SP for a z32 300zx...it will be different than the rest and should go well with the lip kit.
