I see that stuff a lot. Just last week I was behind some guy in an old beater with rims on it worth twice the value of the car. He had 5 tv's in it. I know because all 5 of them were on and the driver was the only occupant... 2 of the tv's were behind him, lol. I guess that's mad baller status...

I'm Puerto Rican, and I'm proud of my culture, so yes I have a flag hanging in my Z, in my WRX, in my Bronco, and a small sticker on my bike. Hanging the PR flag in a car is the equivalent to a Texan puting a texas flag or sticker in their car or hanging your graduating tassle from the mirror... its not where you're going, its where you're from. Just my .02


Also we(puerto Ricans) put flags on all our stuff so we dont steal from each other.

but i have never seen any of those booby tail lights before, and now, i wished i've never seen 'em

about those loud a$$ exhausts, they're annoying as hell, i understand if you want to buy them for performance, but damn it, you dont have to rev so damn high all the time, i know some ppl with exhausts, and they drive normal, i cant even hear their exhaust, ok, im done venting now

currently in the UK there are only 2 350z with the wide v3 body kit, very rare

First of all, as an 06 GTO owner, technically were all a bunch of ricers, If you don't believe it, just ask the LS2 crowd, or the GT mustang owners. I also have an 05 350Z, I think you should hesitate to call a fellow Z owner with mods a ricer.

I've been a LS1er. To them everyone who doesn't own their brand of car is something or another. If you had a Lamborghini you'd still be a label. Who cares? If you beat em then you can say they got their v8 *** handed to them by a ricer with a v6.

hate not to be a patriot, but im sorry to say i don't care what USA manufactured vehicle you buy. .fast or not, they are all garbage. .japanese cars are by far the best bang for the buck so to say in every aspect compared to usa cars. . although it shouldn't and doesn't matter in life what your labeled as i'd be a ricer any day over that crowd. . .

I have to agree with the people that stated that everybody does mods for themselves and I do agree that there are MOD's that should not be done to the Z... however, some people here are taking it to the extreme and to the point of being haters and simply stupid.

Everyone have different taste and Without the MODs we will all have stock Z's.

Personally I had the hatchback and the roadster at the same time for some time... After some time I decided to sell the hatchback and keep the roadster. Some people here hate the roadster and say is ugly... I think differently...

So, I now have the 04 blue roadster and I have 20 inch AXIS MOD's; some people are flaming the 20 inch wheels but they look great on the car (my opinion)...

Other people are flaming bodykits stating how usless they are and what a waste of money...

Currently my roadster it is getting the v3 Veilside full bodykit (not wide) with the v2 spoiler and new two tone leather upholsery...

Yes, I could have use the money to get a turbo upgrade or supercharger (which I might get at a later point), but I choosed to get the bodykit. Why? Cause I think it looks great...

I do have some performance changes done like the true dual Fast Intentions exhaust with test pipes, JWT intake and Plenum Spacer which gave me a GREAT sound and better performance...

So there you go, everything is in the eye of the beholder... It all comes down to PERSONAL choice...

So go do your mods, ignore the haters here and have a ball !!! After all, you are the one doing the Mods and you are the one paying for them...
