i dont think i get negative attention. it helps to have ur windows tinted so people dont stare all the time. even though im fi i dont drive fast or wreckless. people tend to hate on show offs. one thing that gets me is when people are like "you need to let me drive it" or like "how fast does it go" or the never ending "you should sell it to me" i dont even want to mention how much they offer for it... it helps to have a really sensitive alarm. people think that im some punk rich guy. for crying out loud its not a ferrari.

My car gets alot of looks and complements from chicks, dudes and kids. I also get some haters that say Nissans suck and they drive beaters. People ask me to spin my wheels at traffic lights for some reason but i'm not gonna. I get revs thrown at me also but I don't return the favor cuz i'm kool like that. lol Not sure if the rev thing is good or bad I had a Dogde truck do it to me one day. Oh yeah and I need window tint cuz i hate pulling up next to a car and they look over and stare.

i mean, i see where you were going with it, but it just looks too overdone. i mean thats my opinion. i shouldn't have posted that last comment, im sorry. its just....these people who do so many exterior mods don't realize that it takes away from the original design and beauty of the car. veilside, widebody kits. that **** is for hondas. i think the blacked out tail lights are a little to much

but in your defense, the only thing ive done to my car is a shorty antenna and about 3k in audio. so really, i haven't done **** to my car "looks" wise.

Yeah in Alpharetta, I never really get any negative attention. Never been vandalized. I have had people throw out jealous comments but I just laugh! At lights people rev it at me all the time. I laugh and return the favor for fun. After that, they usually go into the shocked face and ask me if it's a V8 and how much HP it's got. I feel bad for all these guys on here sharing the hate stories. Worst **** that happened to me was when a friend threw some pennies at my car...I got pissed but he was hating. Mostly positive attention.

i dropped it since that pic was taken. 1.5 inch in back and 2inch in the front.

the only mods on the exterior ARE rims, tinted tail lights and %5 tint all the way around.

i have 2 JL W3"s 10s. D1 amp. kenwood screen. engine mods are, injen CAI, Crawford headers, JWT flywheel and clutch

i have no body kit and dont plan on putting one on. maybe a new hood but thats it

meh, I kinda knew Z would attract attension. I always have friends that ask to drive it (and its always the ones that have been in accidents) so that gets annoying. I'm a little stock myself but the good compliments out weigh the bad.

p.s dark tint FTW

how are those W3's? I have 1 10" W6 with a alpine PDX 600 watt amp going to it. doesn't seem to be enough sometimes, the highs really take over the lows in some songs.

I hate the attention. I bought the car for myself only, for the sole purpose of enjoying my long commute, occasional spirited driving, and this smile I get when I look at it. Being super humble, I don't take the compliments well. I usually say, "it's used," or "it's an 03."

Haven't had problems with haters but I guess I need more mods

LOL, other than the rims, I think it looks good. Of course I am partial towards black Zs.
