Rear end modified. WARNING: May not be everyone's cup of tea

Parts used






Concept from..



Big thanks to Chris for exhaust modification.

 

Not my cup of tea but I can definitely appreciate the effort that went into it.

Find a way to attach the edge to the bumper or at least close the gap that can be seen here IMO

 

Kabir I thought you were bought the TwinZ rear end?

I think it's a really good look for the 2+2. Well done on being the first in Aus (and maybe even the states) to do it. How much did the ABFlug rear cost landed if you don't mind me asking? Was this what you wanted me to send you by post but was too big?

It offsets that hatch glass hump really nicely and the rear end has much better balance than before. Only criticism is the fact now you need lower skirts w/ carbon side steps to match the rear. It looks a bit out of place by itself.

Also, curious how the exhaust is routed for the centre exit? Is it just piping routed around the fuel tank w/ the two hot dogs and no mufflers?

 

im a fan besides the side bent bits.. that could be done better

 

TwinZ bumper didn't turn me on that much.
Correct, I was looking for your help to get the bumper from japan, bcoz abflug didn't want to help with shipping.
I managed to get share container space and bumper alone cost me $1600 landed when Oz $ was 0.90.

Correct, I may get some skirts later on.

It was a huge stress bcoz abflug didn't have enough photo so that I can get some idea how to mount them.

That diffuser is for ferrari scuderia which I got from germany. I was not sure if bumper will line up properly, but it did.



I will take some pics later on for exhaust routing.

 

That looks fantastic

But you need side skirts, and big wheels to balance everything out

Titanuim burn tips are amazing!!

 

Appart from teh side bits i really like it . How did you make it id love to see a bit of a build thread on it

 

Sorry in advance, but to me, that looks hideous!
There is no part of it that blends in with the rear end "theme" or stly of a zed.
IMHO of course.
Looking at the rear end of that Scuderia thing just makes me want to poke 2 fingers down my throat..... its a visual travesty!

HOWEVER, I appreciate very much the imagination, time and effort that went into modding that Zed!
Really nice job M8.

I was trying to get the setup as close as abflug demo cars and all of them left a bit gap.

 

i love it man look so awesome in person.

 

Correct. it looks 10 times better in person. For some reason photos didn't turn up as good as I wanted.

 

Love it! Brilliant work

 

wow I didn't even notice the diffuser wasn't abflug. that makes it even more impressive how you pieced it together.

 

Looks awesome man but you'll defiantly need skirts to balance it out. And don't take this the wrong way, but I personally would get some bigger (are the 17's?) better rims with some more dish. advan rs-d or rays ce28n are my dream rims.

 

Nah looks hot

 

They are 18 inch 5zigen. side skirts are next in list when budget allows.
Wish i had money for bigger wheels.

 

Is it practical?

 

looks excellent mate....love the re-route of the exhaust

 

Sorry in advance. Don't take any of this personally.

Great job on integrating and fitting it, I just think it's hideous.

IMHO you have just taken the nicest looking zed in WA and trashed it. Well, it still looks great from the front. I hope for you the pictures are worse than in-person.

 

Not bad at all, side skirts would make it balance better as others have said.

You used expanded perforated diamond mesh like the 430, looks good, abflug picture looks like round perforated mesh, but if you want some hexagonal mild steel, I have some to sell, I have a whole sheet, impossible to get in Australia as part sheet and too expensive from the states.

Mild steel is harder to work with then aluminium but will stand up to being knocked around better.
