JON,All you're going to get for that price is the old 96 z-3 style kit with the tilt nose,add in your lights and trim and you're up to 3200,i have a 2003 style kit for sale on this site with the stock opening hood wider 2003 style rear clip with a complete bolt on trunklid,it takes half the time to build than one of the old multi
panel tilt nose kits,they don't even have mounts for your head and tailights,my kit even has a new steel front subframe to reinforce the chassis,you get what you pay for,have you ever seen a tilt nose car with the hood open,unfinished,no wheelwells etc,and you get to hear the nose rattle and watch your headlights bounce at night every time you hit a bump.

Kit would be 2000- lights, grille and emblems 400 total on ebay, brings me up to 2400. I would consider purchasing your kit because I definately like the 2003 style, but the hood does not look like it closes all of the way. I would rather have a rattle (that if attached correctly, will not) than a 2 inch gap. Also, there doesnt look like adequate room for intercooler hoses with your kit either.

Hood was unlatched at show as it was being opened every 2 minutes,
where on e-bay did you see trim and lights for 400,they cost me over
1100 from bmw,but that includes hinges 3rd brake light ,newer style tailights etc.

Mike, i do like your kit but 4,500 is about twice as much as i want to spend. The style is definately better looking but i cant justify the extra 2500 dollars. I am a teacher in NY and we are not paid very well.
You are within driving distance so if you ever have a huge sale i am definately interested.
Lights and emblems for 96 kit-

wow its extremely difficult to come back to this page.I am urging everyone on this site to not purchase anything from MADMIKE. I gave him $5,600 in April of 2004 and he has not even remotely finished a my car. He originally promised the ziata would be completed in one month. Dealing with Mike has been the most frustrating situation i have ever encountered. He was a very nice guy until he received my money. Then the lies and non returned phone calls began. I cant even count up all the times he has told me the car will be ready in 2 weeks (with no intention to even work on it), or all the trips i have made to Massachusetts to see the car's shape get progressively worse. VERY HORRIBLE BUISINESS MAN. I am aware of a few other people in my same situation. One of his "customers" had his own car delivered from Kansas for the 49 thunderbird conversion. Mike destroyed a beautiful low mileage thunderbird with backyard style bodywork and craftsmanship. This gentleman ended up leaving his unfinished car in mass. after seeing its shape. I currently have a case with the postal inspector (for mikes prosecution) involving po box fraud, and am involved in a civil case beginning very soon. This thief needs to be in jail. I can provide pictures of the poor quality finished kit for the ziata ($3000) and the salvage junk box with a faulty odometer reading($2,600). Not a beautiful car with 54,000 original miles and a top quality z3 kit like i was told. I purchased JUNK! I Can also provide money order stubs and receipt for the hosts of this website if needed. Please remove Mike from this website because people are still getting ripped off. thank you for your time,
john
