Default So...the 350z is still a very good looking car...

I've only had my Black 350z with burnt orange seats for a couple weeks now but I've gotten more compliments on it in that short time then any of my other cars have combined, lol.

1st day had a hotel belhop tell me "Nice car, dude!"

Some guy in a new CLK complimented me on the seats and asked if they were stock.

Tollbooth operator lady telling me not to race on her road, lol

Some guy checking out my car while he waited with his family outside a restaurant

Some random guy told me nice car and was asking me questions about it while I was stopped at a red light.


All these people are random people who just happen to like the way the car looks and further solidifies my choice to go with the black car and orange interior.

Just thought I'd share.

The Z33 remains a great looking car- take care of it and you'll continue to get compliments.

I had a Silver 05 Touring for a number years. Compliments everywhere I went. Sold it two years ago and bought some bland SUV. Sold that and got into a 2013 Z. In come the compliments. The Z platform has always had that $70K look for $30K. Beautiful vehicles.

The Z33's looks will probably last a long time even longer than the 370Z imo. Some people think my 03 is a brand new car and always say it looks amazing even though it's almost over 10 years old now.

OP, keep the compliments in mind as you start modding. There are alot of Z's beautifully enhanced by mods. There are also Z's that got alot of cheap crap thrown on them that look worse than stock. Keep the mods clean & enjoy your new Z.

Get stares, questions, and compliments all the time because of the le mans sunset. People literally park next to me and squeeze out their car because they dont want to hit my door

Had a guy stop me in a parking lot tonight and ask me where he can find a car as gorgeous as mine. I love the look of the 350z, and its nice when strangers do too. Great vehicle (and in my opinion, a whole lot better looking than the 370)

Never been one to rice a car out, my style of modding is OEM+ if you know what I mean.

Make it look and run better but keep it in the realm of "Could have come that way from the factory."

Turbo kits are about as out there as I get but that's not a cosmetic thing really.

Looking to pick up the new 370z touring wheels, love the way they look and it's an OEM wheel. Some interior leather trim pieces and keep the paint clean and I'll be done with cosmetics, lol

I've kept mine nice, out of the sun and people are dumbfounded when I tell them its a 2003…like they've been in a coma and have never seen the car…

of all people, my sister once told me 'less is more' and I think that holds especially true with the z33.
