there's a reason alot of people have the same stuff....because its the stuff that looks good.


who wants to slap on a retarded looking kit and fugly wheels just for the sake of originality when chances are(except in Socal) you will never see somebody else with the same exact setup in your area.

There is a lot of truth in all the above replies. I wonder though how many of us do what we do because of peer pressure to belong to the group or be accepted by the group.

My car is in the shop being modded right now. It will look unique when complete. No other Z will look like it. I believe in putting the money in the big stuff that makes a difference and makes my car unique. I don't want to follow the crowd.

Yes, this is true if these everyone have the exact same opinion in what they like. Who agree with what looks good. You can have a plain stock Z that looks good or a unique widebody kit that looks good. It really depends on what the owner is looking for. If a car is built for performance, it is less modified on the exterior and to me is still beautiful. I love all the Z's on this site. There are some that are striclty for show that can be called rice (if someone has come up with the true definition) and there are some that have mild kits with performance mods or even plain Jane stock and they all look good. If anyone out their buys mods just because everyone says what to buy and what not to buy then how could they be truly happy with what they have. They are driving everyone elses Z. People should be themselves and not do the same as everyone just to fit in. There are huge amounts of different opinions between Z lovers and what makes the car cool or not. I bought mine knowing I was going to make it show only. This is why I went extreme with it. I love showing cars and I know what a show car consists of. And it isn't to look exactly like the one next to you but a different color. As I mentioned before, our other Z is much more mild and we love that one just as much. It depends on what the owners like and that's what should matter.

In some instances it's a case of monkey see monkey do, but overall I think we all have similar tastes in what looks good and what doesn't. Hell we all bought the same car right?

Luckily I live in Louisiana and there aren't many modified Z's compared to other larger/richer states.

what would you like to see? a bunch of lime green bewinged and blackwidow 2 kitted Z's with blue lights and 17 inch konig wheels

look at any other make/model of car... same thing: limited number of kit designs, as well as a good number of them being priced out of reach for most and a nice selection of horrendously ugly ones as well.

we have

Nismo 1, 2
Amuse
C West 1, 2
Do Luck
wald
veilside 1, 2, 3
varis
Vertex
a bunch of ugly ones

then you have guys that mold or don't mold, custom paint, two tone paint, CF, etc.

it just so happens that manufacturers held group buys for some of the kits (Nismo V2 comes to mind) and it is so awesome looking (best kit ever) that no one can deny that and a bunch of people buy them.

it terms of rim choice... again, LOTS of manufacturers but only a handful of good looking wheels. and within that you have ten or so wheel colors, lips, no lips from gold, silver, dark silver, bronze, black, black with lip, silver with lip, gold with lip, offsets...

Work - vs-xx, emotion 1, 2, 3, S1,
Volk - te37, ce28, progressive ME, gts, gtc, re30, gt7
SSR - professor, etc
Advan - T6, T7, RGII, RS, SA3
a bunch of other ugly rims

so I don't agree at all with what you are saying

Swat came and disrespected my family!!!

ugh those Venom kits are tacky...how can they actually appeal to you? As for 'everyones car being the same' When very few kits actually look good and keep the Z's lines, your not gonna see many different.

I look at it like there is better things to spend money on. Like suspension, and wheels. And to tell you the truth I like the stock lines and if I could afford it I would love to get an ING's body kit. But to spend 4k on parts and paint and have to worry about getting hit or scratched is not worth it. IDK I have always been more of a canyon guy and I am even complaining about the size of my 19's I have now and can't wait to get my new wheels. I haven't seen any Z's here on the board yet with the FN01rc's yet. But who knows.

Everything is bigger in TX so the land is spread out and theres more ppl that buys Zs, I can't even find 1 Z here that has the GT-S


I'm usually not into widebodies because the stock Z lines are so hot but damn that's an incredible Z! great work!

ZBigDog

I honestly don't like the look of most kits period, or much exterior change at all for that matter.

a show car with stock brakes? lol

iTrader: (1)

now you see why all the cars here look identical...you must have volks / iforged / works and a jp / nismo / cwest / top secret kit to be in "the popular group"

otherwise you sit at the loser table...here's my unpopluar car:

spf4000

True. But then again, I don't get the show cars with massive brakes, huge turbos and whatnot when they'll never see a day of track time, so I suppose if you're going for all looks, who cares about the performance stuff?
