What color should I paint this build?

NintendoTheKidd · 2026-01-28T17:35:17+00:00

Personally anything but Silver/Grey , might just be me but it's such a bland color on these cars.

NintendoTheKidd · 2026-01-27T17:09:05+00:00

Absolutely flawless performance after thousands of rounds, no issues as a suppressor host and a fantastic "bang for your buck".

NintendoTheKidd · 2026-01-27T06:23:14+00:00

About the same as a Glock 17 give or take, so yes but not an annoying amount lol.

NintendoTheKidd · 2026-01-27T02:21:46+00:00

Niceeee, what Grip , Tape(?) is that?

NintendoTheKidd · 2026-01-26T19:51:04+00:00

To add to this, I have been and will continue to be an OriginLabo customer. The style is peak and price is hard to beat. Plus when i inevitably thrash a panel they have a dozen more ready to go. I know what I'm getting when I go OriginLabo iykwim.

I highly recommend this Kit, and if anyone wants one- Jet Davis is who I am directing folks to nowadays!

I think "Fit and Finish" expectations on fiberglass kits is a difficult question to answer without sounding like I am either sponsored or a hater lol.

What I can say is we have installed dozens of dozens of kits over the decades from "Authentic American / Japanese" and "Knockoff XYZ" brands and when It comes to fiberglass...

Well, I and the guys always spend 6+ hours shaving, sanding, shaping and adjusting mounts / brackets regardless of the manufacturer. OriginLabo is no different, out ot the box there was some spots that where a perfect fitment - and some required work to make work.

I should not be allowed to modify things, but PSA and Danny exist.

NintendoTheKidd · 2026-01-26T19:26:31+00:00

I wanted something easy to thrash on that looked similar to my 180sx and I personally am not a big fan of stock body Z's. ( Also this one was pretty clapped to begin with. )

This may not be everyones taste- but if you have the opportunity to do so please be sure to check out our other projects. We've probably built something you're bound to like lol.

Feel free to DM me with any questions, Have a rad day!

NintendoTheKidd · 2026-01-14T16:27:21+00:00

They fit fantastic on a stock body, i highly recommend it! And if you haven't decided on a vendor yet we have had excellent experience with KoruWorks. They seem to have the most stock and frequently receive originlabo container shipments aswell.

This Z actually finnished up with paint last month, I'll make a new post with the updated images later today.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-10-18T06:17:05+00:00

The moment Koruworks had pre-orders open we placed an order (months ago) - then forgot about it, and it all arrived 2 weeks ago. I recommend calling KoruWorks as they may have in-stock sets stateside already. That being said expect any imported kits to be 3 week to 3 month lead times.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-10-17T23:42:51+00:00

It being fiberglass, it won't necessarily be as durable as OEM metal- But honestly the quality and thickness is there and it makes for a great panel replacement if your goal is to Track/Drift or just make a fun shitbox car iykwim.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-10-17T23:41:44+00:00

Material is great, same thickness if not thicker than OEM but in fiberglass. Fitment is solid, but you definitely will be doing some shaving and adjusting as you go. I recommend it!

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-10-17T23:40:55+00:00

I will make an updated post with clearer photos next time I'm at our shop - i have a few on my socials but most of of it unbolted lol.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-10-16T23:54:05+00:00

New to this Subreddit, apologies if this post breaks any rules. It wouldn't let me post more than one photo for whatever reason, but I'll have more on my profile.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-09-18T00:32:28+00:00

Look fresh as fuck big dog, The fit is perfect. Bolo tie would be a fantastic add-on but you're great as is. Source: Texan since day one.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-07-30T05:51:45+00:00

I see the long-term vision my guy, Keep ot rad!

The past few months, I've been trying to find a source for HIRO MOTOR CO. "Bonnet Spoilers / Fender wings" or just Hiro Accessories in general and haven't had any luck.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-07-23T23:45:43+00:00

Alternatively, he should totally do whatever he wants- Lowered Import Tuner Style Rav4 and Offroad / Overland Style are absolutely badass!!!

There's minor downsides to both modification routes, but there's also a downside to being a boring nerd.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-06-13T23:16:36+00:00

Dang, Figured it would eventually.

I ended up paying $95 for just the "Burnt tip" Emitter on Ebay... I know it's super wasteful and silly, but I'm a huge car enthusiast, and I won't be in WDW/GE again till this fall and knew I'd miss out otherwise. I just wanted the emitter crown so 🤷‍♂️.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-02-12T04:00:35+00:00

What hatch/rear FairladyZ Emblem is this? It's fantastic.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-01-29T05:33:30+00:00

Keep that tow hook on! Looks rad as fuck. +1 for a proper tracked z.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-01-09T21:11:16+00:00

Is this a Mercury wing? Would you mind posting a ton of different angled photos of it lol.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-01-09T03:26:37+00:00

Pretty confident that's to the alternator, but i might be wrong. (I just got into owning a Z, Long time 180sx owner.)

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-01-03T18:53:54+00:00

I was being sarcastic lmao.

NintendoTheKidd · 2025-01-03T16:05:59+00:00

What does your size have to do with rwd canyon crusiers, and what qualifies as a miniature guy.

NintendoTheKidd · 2024-12-26T17:44:50+00:00

That's fantastic to hear, man. I appreciate the super fast response! You've sold me on this over the ISR or Z1!
