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.

Just putting it out there, please chime in.
Just putting it out there, please chime in.
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

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.

I have said on here before, we have another Z (PPW) that is much tamer but it is a DD. Mine is trailer only/show car. Btw, I changed the color of the car. Now I love it even more.
