Not your average Nismo widebody

shirokenkami · 11-01-2016, 09:42 AM

I remember this build, didn't you post this on the 370Z Facebook page?

OP must love sandblasting his fenders... That paint is going to get the **** beat out of it where the over fenders end prematurely...

This is poorly executed in all facets. Sorry but not my cup of tea.

I mean if you want nothing but positive feedback ask your parents. I'm giving you my honest opinion. If you're happy with your build, then so be it. I just wouldn't do that to my Z. No reason to get butt hurt over it.

Typical car forums... Now what good were either of your comments? What did they accomplish? Anything? Other than just being a Troll I suppose... I'm not looking for only positive feedback.. However there is a difference between constructive criticism and just being a troll and being negative. Saying it is "poorly executed in every facet" not only is not constructive, it's plain rude. Not only that, but again that is merely your opinion. If you don't like it fine, just say hey it's not my style. If you insist on being critical maybe give your reasons, suggestions etc if you feel so compelled to do so. In other words try using a bit more respect and tact maybe.

This was not a build for purists, this wasn't a build for the track guys. In reality it wasn't a build for anyone aside from myself. If others enjoy it great, if not well they can go kick rocks. I can understand and appreciate this not being everyones style. What I can't appreciate or respect is people talking trash for the sake of talking trash. I know that A LOT of blood sweat and tears and painstaking detail went into this build. I can not nor will I take credit for the actual build itself. The concept was mine, the work was done by Sergio @ 3rd Gear Customs Honestly pictures do not come close to doing justice.

I'm not trolling you dude, I just don't like what you did. Like you pointed out, it's my opinion. I don't have to like everything and I don't have to spare your feelings.

Man, folks beatin this guy up, He's one of us ( a " Z " owner) I thought he was just posting his ride for our viewing pleasure and not looking to be torn to pieces. Sheeesh.

cooltoy · 11-10-2016, 11:28 AM

Are we supposed to baby him and tell him it looks good?

That is a risk one takes when posting anything of your own on the internet. Some people will like it and some will not. Got to have a thick skin.

I personally don't like the bolt on look, whether it is rocket bunny or any other kit out there, for any car. So it does not matter how expensive it is, or how well it's done and made I wil not like it as much as if the fenders were molded in.

KMO-II · 11-10-2016, 11:45 AM

I dunno. I just feel bad for the guy, Im sure he didn't expect to be ripped a new one. Just me. Now if he said please tell me what you think of my build, game on ya know?

he didnt build it for instagram likes

he built it because its what he wanted to build

cooltoy · 11-10-2016, 11:59 AM

He got positive comments too. One takes the good with the bad.

cooltoy · 11-10-2016, 12:30 PM

And that is all that should matter - he likes it.

I am sure someone thought this might look good.

KMO-II · 11-10-2016, 12:35 PM

LMFAO !!!

NorthStyle · 11-10-2016, 04:29 PM

I guess I'm in the minority since I like the look that the OP was going for, it is just the details that lower its quality. Things like the sealant not being even across the overfender (which was stated earlier) and the overfender not following the OEM radius of the fender but instead following it to a point then shrinking down that take away from it; not to mention the stretched wheels on a widebody (but that's just a personal preference).

Still, I do like the look and I appreciate the work/effort/money put into it. A few things I'd do differently but I definitely respect the work that went into it and it being different than every other overfendered Z34.
