To each, his own. I personally like a car with very clean lines and a crisp look. I dont like the NFS look with stickers everywhere (unless u r a sponsored racer). But for a street car, there's no need to tell everyone every mod you have on or in your car.

I guess I'm an offender of two never to do mods. I have the jdm clears that are smoked.

I like the way it looks. I build my car for me, not for other's

I think it would be entertaining if everybody posted a pic of their car if they have something that has made the list.

You have actually seen a 350Z with suicide doors? As in the door hinges is located near the back fenders and not near the front fenders.

Also, Suicide Doors look crappy on a Z.

No offense to you with them but Lip Kits. They look tacky to me, all you are doing is sticking a piece of plastic onto your bumper, just reminds me of cheaper cars.

Smoked tails are ok, only if you have your windows tinted, because then its sought of goes together...

But if you drive a G35 - Do not take off "G35" emblems in the back and put on "SKYLINE" emblems in the back. You drive a G not a Skyline....

And mirror tints are just straight up gross looking!

I dislike the chrome emblems, so I'm about to remove the back one and have the front one painted the same black as my car. The wheel emblems are a different story.

yeah i feel you on that one........the chrome is too flashy, even if it's just a little bit. i want to replace both of the nissan burgers with th black pearl z burger: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...de=Z33EM-CHRBK

but i somehow can't justify spending $130+ on 2 pieces of useless metal.

Personally I feel that there's already too many damn Z's on my car for that emblem, so I ruled that one out.

if i had the '350z' emblem on the driver's side like most z's do, then i definitely wouldn't want the z burgers.......but i don't. so i want them. but $63+ for each one is just.......stupid.

I agree, but I'd also have to remove the 350z from the back. Although even so, if I were to use that Z emblem, I'd probably only use one for the front, and remove all other emblems.

but then you'd have holes to deal with. i'd rather have too many z's than unsightly holes that are gonna cost another arm and leg to fill in, and still never fully look smooth and clean.

it's lose/lose either way.

i just don't like the damn chrome nissan burger.
