My custom tangelo orange pearl widebody 3000gt

Car looks sick, don't change a thing. That spoiler is the pièce de résistance, and I never would have guessed that would be the case.

thanks for the input I was thinking the billet grill because it looks more quality than the cheap mesh they give you for free with the kit, I think the amount of black is fine, the headlights are black, the fog light covers are black, etc

I have always been an NA guy on all my project cars, turbo has never really peaked my interest because I like reliability and the thought of all the parts you have to buy and/or upgrade is just ridiculous. I would consider the 3.5L motor swap and nitrous if I ever wanted more performance but as of right now the car runs perfect and is fun to drive and thats good enough for now.

I think it looks really nice man. Well done.

I'm a little shocked that this color would have become common. My buddy painted his stealth the same color 4 years ago and now I see it everywhere.

Car looks good though!

Nice looking car - never was much of a fan of orange, but this has me converted. The GTR wing is badass though. Man, if I find one used for cheap I'm picking one up.

LOL @ Adam. ;)

I think the car looks great. I do like the front bumper, I've always been a fan of the 97-98 bumper more than any other, and this is very close. Not a huge fan of the side skirt treatment, rear bumper is ok, but spoiler looks great. You definitely did a nice job and all the hard work really paid off. Well done!

Nice to see a project someone has put a lot of forethought into and taken the high road when it comes to quality. Everyone has their own tastes but yours gives us a lot of ideas. Curious to know the mechanism for opening the doors since the handles are shave now and what width tires did you go with to take advantage of the wide body fenders?

Looks like you are from Illinois. You should bring your car to MOD this Saturday. Would be fun to see in person.
