Totally agree, I purposely bought an Enthusiast Model, just to avoid having to have a rear spoiler (of any kind) and mess up the great lines. To each his own.

I have one of the things you don't like. I don't think it is cheesy:

I agree with you on almost everything I guess my SF Winnings suck, who's wants some free rims... Seriously though, some like and some don't.



I got sick of seeing 5,6 and 7 spoke rims on the Z, so I went in the opposite direction and got 16, lol...
Mesh = sophisticated racer IMO I always love seeing my wheels on LeMans cars...

v2 front bumper. now that its been out for a little while. im back on the v1 bumper bandwagon. i just dont like the long nose effect it has on our cars. im in love with the v1 more now then before.
I agree, i hate the extended look of all the body kits. All the Z needs is a nice lip like the V1 or even the ings looks good. And the lambo doors...ugh the guy i sold my Z to put lambo's on it for his first mod lol

Yeah, I'm hard to please so sue me. I am now donning my flame retardant suit with accompanying gel slathered onto my body underneath (i feel squishy!) and patiently await your responses.
I honestly don't get these, "I don't get/like these mods ... what do you think?" threads. So some people will psot that agree with one ro more points and you've basically flamed anyone who has done (disguised as giving your opinion).

I have the Z burger emblem (one) and the stock spoiler... and a body kit! Don't like it? Good, no one asked you. Like it? Good, no one asked you. Not sure? Go make up your mind elsewhere as I didn't ask you.

I like my single din alpine head unit, thats because im going to put a single din signal processor under it. Carbon fiber everywhere looks horrible that stuff only belongs on track cars. Lips look stupid. Lambo doors are completly retarded, dont even open far enough to get in and out of the car right.

sooo.... opinions = flames?

he'd be flaming if he said something specific about those who chose to mod their cars this way...if he said they're stupid, if they have no taste, etc... he's more just saying that he doesnt understand the point of some of the mods and he doesnt find some of them aesthetically pleasing.

as for the whole "good, no one asked you" bit..... if we followed that rule we wouldnt have too many interesting discussions, IRL or on the forum. opinions breed discussion. hey, it even brought you in here with your own opinion on the matter.

anyway im done..back to work.

I agree with everything except the mesh wheels... I think mesh wheels are like 5 spoke wheels, in that they look good on almost everything...

Diversity and choice is a brilliant thing and our opinions, makes us all different/makes our zeds different and keeps all the multitudes of suppliers in business.

Just imagine how boring it would be if everyone was exactly the same.

+1 ^^^ it give us a better idea of who he is... who really cares what he thinks, he's not my neighbor or buddy... and if he was, I would rather him voice his true opinion, not laugh at my choices behind my back.

This world would be pretty boring if everyone like the same damn thing...

Speaking of things I don't get. What's up with people who don't interalize their feelings and spew on the internet? j/k... good times.

Everyone has their own opinion of what they think is nice. I personally like the nismo spoiler and have had several comments on it.
