I will always modify my cars. I have since I was 16....9 years later, my modifications just get bigger, better, and more expensive. Haha

I think that its ridiculous to say that the way the designers built the car is the way the car "should" be. Car designers build their cars the way they do for many reasons, mainly marketing. That is why there are different levels of trim.

Also to say that the way the car designed visually is "ideal" is nonsense who its to say that the way I like my car to look is "ruining" it? It is all a matter of taste and opinion, which is what this forum is mostly about.

Exactly, every regular car is always going to be a compromise. It a) has to appeal to a wide audience, b) it has to be relatively inoffensive and compromised because of that target audience, and c) there is a certain issue called cost targets. That is why after market products produce such a drastic difference over OEM parts, these after market companies can focus on each component to maximize its potential and it shows when you can gain 20rwhp with a simple CAI or cat-back exhaust.

Many enthusiasts don't like compromise, like myself, therefore we get rid of the compromising parts.

Just got in touch with my tuner guy and set up an install on a Tanabe cat back. Took this long only because of all the snow we had here in central Jersey.
No virgins here in this maternety ward either.

i like the car the way it is.
for the money that would be used to modify it, i would rather spend that money to get a more expensive car.

This is what is so great about the 370Z. There are so few of them out there( not like Mustangs, Camoros Chargers etc...) , that all of us who own one just like to put a furthur stamp of uniqueness on the car by either leaving it the way Nissan engineers designed it, or improving on greatness. Either way it's an awesome car and all of you, us, have a great time with it, however way you like it!
