I think it happens when someone doesnt have a theme with their car or an idea on what they want to do. Keeping the car simple and clean is personally the best way to go. As long as there isnt gull wing doors, a 35 foot wing on the car, hydrolics, and spinners it should be fine.

Opinions? And some suggestions on what people should NOT do to their Z?
Any modification which makes the car less practical and harder to resell is a big no no in my book. I can't understand why anyone would lower their Z closer to the ground when the car is already too close to begin with and clearly was not designed to be that low.

Generally people remove mods before selling their car -- this is because mods usually never add value to a car and it . They are done for a personal touch when the owner feels a car needs that extra something.

I've never known someone to say "oh man, let me lower this car so I can make out when I trade in!"
