I feel bad for the guy. he obviously likes his car and he modded it to his taste. I sure as hell don't like it personally but it's not my car.

I am quick to point out when something is done in a terrible fashion, but it looks like he spent a few bucks to get this done properly 'in his eyes', so whats the big deal?

I don't like the wheels, I don't like the paint, I don't like the overlays (or was the housing painted/tinted?), I don't like the spoiler... but he obviously does. it's not like he threw on an unpainted body kit or had the rear end molded to fit g35 tail lights and blah blah .. :P I can think of much worse ways to ruin a car.\

one plus is that it's definitely unique, you're not going to see other Z's rollin around like that .. ever.. lol.

In my mind this car has a "write-off/salvaged" title because of the work done to it.



I like the attention to the (hideous) detail but it was totally lost with the ebay tail lights....

I agree somewhat but doing research and asking questions can go a long way. He obviously didn't do any of that. For starters, he could have joined this site before he did all that crap. I think he woke up one day and decided he was going on a shopping spree at Pep Boys. Oh well, can't flame the guy to hard for at least attempting I guess.

That spoiler is one of a kind. I've never seen one like it .

Not even close to a salvaged title. New wheels/paint and it will be back to normal. Removing the spoiler, seat covers, and steering wheel cover doesn't take that long.

I'd rather buy one that wasn't in dire need of a make-over after a make-over.

I don't understand why you would pay for a paint job then cover it up with a bra.

Can you imagine working in the shop when he came in and paid you to do this to it? I don't know if it would be worth it to do that to the Z no matter how much you were getting paid for.

There is a good reason for that.

If he enjoys it, good on 'em. Still doesn't change the fact that it looks like crap. I riced out my first Dodge Neon, big time rice. At the time I thought it looked great.........then again, I was also into drugs at the time.
