Things not to do to your Z

KillerBee370

Why the hell would you put a bunch of stickers on your car ANYWAY? I mean are these companies paying you to advertise?? MAYBE if I was sponsored but otherwise... noway.

On what you can/cannot do to your own car, just enjoy the car and add what you think works well with the car. If you have to ask yourself what other think of what you added to maybe you should not do it? Maybe not because it is good/bad but because you are more concerned about what others think.

I say if you makes you happy, it's your car... do what you want. But for godsakes... if you're gonna buy wheels.. BUY ALL FOUR! I've seen so many (honduhs mainly) with only 2 aftermarket wheels and 2 stockers on the car. WHAT is this about??

I never got this, I can understand if you are rolling on a spare/back up because you just blew a tire, but I have talked to a few people and they say it is because they will buy the other two next month. I just reply, why not wait to put them all on together, then I get this look:

Ahhh... I didn't want to make generalizations but guess... it IS a money thing. (or lack thereof)

BlackCherryZ

for my 370z, i would like to keep it "as stock looking as possible." it looks good....to begin with.....

plus, who gives $hit what other ppl do with their car and money. they can defile all they want - it's a good laugh...... i just could not stop laughing with the 350z "SUPERCHARGED."

my first impression was "what the *uck!" to begin with.........but i got a good laugh at it...

it's just a difference of opinion and preference....... what is right is only right to oneself, not to others........ bottom line: live and enjoy *^^*

and, if you do not have a Z, what gives to say anything unpleasant about a Z......

just curious as to what those two, who taped the first clip, have under the hood...

if you drive a shitty car, don't make any negative remarks on a nicer car, even if it's a ricer.... just my opinion.....

it's like non-smokers telling smokers to quit, for it is BAD for your health.........btw i am a non-smoker.... *^^*

I guess I'm a ricer then because I have 5 percent tint, and I am thinking about modding my headlights with landing strips or the ironman idea.

I figure to each their own.

Jessica

What are landing strips?

When I think of ricer I think of someone that picks looks over power. Buying rims when you could buy preformance parts or fake emblems. But if you build a 600hp TT 370z in my book you can put what ever extras you want. Like rims, carbonfiber, dvd monitor and whatever you feel your can needs. But just remember its a sports car. Put up some numbers on the dyno before dropping cash on the "bling". If you do that I dont think anyone can call you a ricer.

And everyone is hating on Carbonfiber. If it looks good I say its okay. Just like I want a carbonfiber hood, side mirrors, and b-pillars but thats it. I just think it will look good on my PG nismo. But I also plan to have Z1 put a GTM Stage 4 TT system in it..... so ricer for having a few carbonfiber parts I dont think so.

People will still do it though.

These days, ricer has such a negative tone with it that I don't use it on people who pimp their sports cars out (of course, it better look good too..otherwise you are a ricer). I like to apply it to cars that are not fast that are pimped out.

I don't consider anyone ricer but stupid or ignorant. Like putting Fairlady Z stickers all over the car.

BTW, Ricers were originally termed to Asian market vehicles that have modifications. However, the term ricer comes from the late 60s early 70s when the Asian in California upgraded thier Toyotas, Mazdas, Nissans, etc and were beating many domestic on the streets. The domestic owners then called them "ricers" as racism because of thier background.
