Things not to do to your Z

Two tone paint job. Tinting the brake lights, I think that is unsafe and just asking to be re-ended!

Have you guys seen my Spec-V emblem yet? I swear my car feels so much faster, and I can hang with the GT-R thanks to the Spec-V emblem.

Seriously, before I got my car I had plans to do some mods like change out the spoiler and stuff. The OEM spoiler, while hard to clean underneath, is growing on me so I'm keeping it. I may end up with something along the lines of Central20 sides and Mine's CF front lip (waiting for alternatives). I just hate FRP stuff tacked on, so I may end up keeping the stock side skirts and simply add on a simple CF lip to keep a "flat" profile underneath.

TS produced a really nice front diffuser with CF underbody panel. The rigidity would be nice, and it also provides an access panel for the oil filter.

Lighting wise, my modded headlights will be as "ricey" as it gets. I was thinking about getting the JDM clear tail lights, but I like my stock ones the way they are.

Overall, I reduced my wishlist and will end up saving a few grand. The Z looks good enough as it is, and (coming from a 350Z) it is such a pleasure to drive. What you see in my avatar is my 350Z with just a spoiler and side skirts, and people loved the cleanliness of my car.

Some comedy for sure but I agree with you Educ8r

Its basically your own opinion.
So I totally agree with Mr. Educator.

I just want to say unless this is a horrible dealer epidemic, this car is currently sitting @ Cherry Hill Nissan in NJ. As of three weeks ago, it still hasn't sold. They are charging something like $500 for the "racing stripes."

Yeah.

Yeah.

They should be beaten for defiling a helpless Z.

I like engine cover with vents. Wish I could find one.

I like the sleeper idea....do things hidden and under the hood. That's what makes an interesting car, not a car that has body kit pieces falling off after a couple years....ridiculus !!

Or better yet how about the guy who slams the car to the ground and then slowly shows visible signs of obvious bumps into every raised piece of concrete such as speed bump, curb, parking block.

Anatoray · 04-25-2009, 09:50 PM

Yeah, that G35 video has to be the guy just ******* with them.

Last I checked all our Z's were made in Japan, so technically we're all driving a "Riced Out" or "Rice Burner" car. The non-performance things that people put on their cars (park bench spoilers, CF everywhere, extra-wide body kits, landing kit LED's, etc...) are just they're way of expressing themselves and standing out, so more power to them! As long as it makes you happy and it's not offensive to other people who cares what you put on your car. Why be stock and drive the same ride like the next guy? Plus, it's fun to laugh at some of the ridiculous things people do to there cars.

Ricers are people with bad taste, attitude, low intelligence, insecure and shallow dumb f**ks with no idea.
