Default Driver's Image 350Z

This guy is right around the corner from my office.

I see the car there all the time but I've never been in the shop (yet). Anyone from Driver's Image post here?

The car is for sale and, no, I have no contact or association with the owner. I just thought someone might be interested in checking out the car. I can't say I'm a big fan of what they did to it but oh well.

Too much yellow... and that hood reminds me of a skunk.

The rims don't look right... the chrome center with the yellow spokes just don't do it for me.

I like everything about it except the color, hood, wheels & body kit. Looks like a freakin bumble bee.

Some of their other cars are a bit nicer. I've never spoken to them or been to their shop even though they're on the same block as my office.

They do have a 350ZR now and I think it's yellow, too.

I'm still curious if any of them post here.

Just because you don't like their taste doesn't mean they don't do good work.

I've seen the 350zR in person and it looks A LOT better than their coupe. I saw the roadster outside as I passed by the shop, and then saw it again that same day driving the other direction I was going. I guess not everybody is feeling the rims on it, but I think they're hott.

I imagine they worked hard to do that, but it just looks pretty bad.

its better looking in person, but the roadster looks way better. The roadster won 1st at Hot Import Nites beating out the lambo orange coupe by a couple points. The lambo orange coupe is way hotter though.
