have you guys seen Z3 gills on a 240?

[groundzero]

Have you seen gills from the Z3 BMW converted on a 1989 240? I wonder how that would look.  I was thinking to do that with my car, but you might have different opinions on that.  Do you know any sites or links where I can find out how to do that?

I could photoshop it for you.

It's possible, but the shapees wont look right. z3 has a more vertical front end. Assuming you put the grilles on top of the bumper, they'd be going a good couple inches above the hood. . . You'd be taking a front end from a stubby looking car and dropping it onto a sleek one. I can't picture it looking right (assuming we're speaking of the same BMW famous front grilles. . .)

nah...he's not talking about the whole front grill. You know...the little &quot;gills&quot; on the fender of the Z3 Roadsters, Z3 Coupes, and Z8's.
But still...I'm trying to picture those gills all over an S13 and I don't see them looking right anywhere. An S14 might could pull it off. I dunno...I'd have to see a pic to decide how they'd look.

Hmm, how about the vent like things on the side of the new M3... you know right behind the front wheel on the fender. that would look sick on an S14.

They make all kinds of replacement body parts for hondas (*SIGH*), but i'm not sure whats out there for 240s (probably not much). &nbsp;
But there are shops that can custom make panels for any car.

[rubbersidedown]

They have to make all kinds of replacement body parts for hondas to make up for what they lack in speed and power. :-p

That's a good one, rubberguy <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Honestly guys, a body shop will do anything custom for money. So, if you get your little hands on some Z3 fenders, I think there's something someone will do for you. And... it just might look pretty decent on an S13 with a dope body kit. I would never do it because with that money, I could always buy something to make me go faster. Just me... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

What about doing those air vents like the Porsche Boxter, right behind the rear wheel? &nbsp;Or like the MR2?

[misnomer]

I dunno, all this sounds kinda. . . poser. . . to me. If'n ya want a bimmer, buy one. If'n ya can't afford it, deal. Those &quot;hybrid&quot; body kits are the kinds of things that frequent riceboypage.com <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> I personally find them to be in poor taste. Sorta this train of thought: &quot;I don't just want a Type R badge, I want the whole #### body!!&quot; Make it fast first, then it can have an excuse for being different.

[240sxtreme]

I think if you really want to add a vent somewhere...you're hood would be a good place <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> it'd make your car look a bit meaner as well.

[groundzero]

Thanks for the honest opinions. But still Im thinking to get the Z3 gills for my S13. &nbsp;And the Hood as well..

[groundzero]

Transient, can you photoshop it to me. &nbsp;That would be great! Thanks.

[transient]

I'm not gonna spend TOO much time on it, so it's not gonna look perfect, but I'll post it when I'm done

[transient]

Ok, personally I think this looks like ass, but here ya go

[drifterx]

yeah i wanna see it

[BlueSix]

hmm I actually kinda like it but doing something like that would be a real pita... &nbsp; Cost way too much $$$ unless you are repainting your car anyways..

[ca18guy]

Transient tell me those aren't your rims. I think you need to photoshop some new rims on there to <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[S13Grl]

That looks like crap... at least with those rims and paint job.

Ass can be beautiful, transient!

hehehe, true, true.

btw, that's not my car, it's just one I found on google <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Hrm. It looks pretty silly on this honda. Maybe it will look better on a 240 but I dono...

[my240likenoother]

i like the holes in the rear right before the tire that looks nasty
there is many different styles of the z-3 fenders some have just 3 slots instead of 4 i think i will look good on the s13 and s14
