dont take this the wrong way but if someone buys a sports car they should treat it like a sports car and not turn it into a ricer or put chrome rims on it. to me ricer and chrome rims = same sht

you shouldve done some hw before buying a z. someone like you shouldnt be driving a z

i hate when people buy a car that has history and pride and turn it into crap. if you do that to the z i will hunt you down for everyone on this forum. dont bring down the reputation of the z plz

p.s. have you thought of spinners? why dont you get a set of spinners that way when you stop your rims keep spinning

Wow that's disrespectful. That's y I've been warned then banned on here.
You guys are so self righteous... meanwhile you don't even know import history.
You say DONT turn this car into a RICER?"
Its the ricer culture that brought you carbon fiber and that fish mouth grille the 370z has that you love so much. Its the ricer culture that makes people want to buy aftermarket parts and go halfway with the modding culture.
All that "RICER" STUFF IS WHAT THE JAPANESE DO TO MOD THERE CARS.
HAVE SOME RESPECT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO SELL US Z'S IN THE 1ST PLACE.
Granted. Whitey is not much of a driving enthusiast. But he likes the car.
And its his money.
I personally wouldn't be worried about chrome rims as much as maximizing performance but you have a lot of nerve.
This heritage cars heritage is carbon fiber diffusers and spoilers. 2inch drops super wide tires and gutted out interiors to have the highest tech super car computers managing every single aspect of electronic? Motor and tranny function.

Who are you? This forum is filled with so many snobs and wannabe's its disgusting.
This 370z gets called the best sports car on the planet by C/D and every BMW, AUDI, MINI COOPER AND CORVETTE SNOB CONVERTS, COMES IN HERE AND STARTS INSULTING EVO, SILVIA, RX7, SUPRA AND WRX n PREVIOUS Z DRIVERS.
Its us cheap import modders that are the enthusiasts in the 1st place.
Not u guys buying everything on car and drivers list just cuz its the newest trend.
Stay with your German cars if you gonna be like that.
Show some love and wisdom. A lot of you that do this are older men.
ACT LIKE IT!

ok let me just point out one thing here. there are tuners and there are ricers and those two groups are completely different and so are their mods. I will support my opinion with some pictures now

if you would scroll down you will see some great examples of riced out cars.

look at that body kit. does he really need that much down force??? i think he doesss

when his taking turns at 100-120mph on the race track competing with Ferraris and porches

when the car looks better at its stock stage then you know that your a ricer

and here is the way a riced out engine looks

NOW im going to show some pics of tuner cars

here is a pic of a tuner engine

there is a big difference between this two groups and i would hate to see the 370z fall into the first group because it clearly falls in the second.
