Hah, thanks guys. No the cops (so far) don't bother me, and the red does not shine the road.

Not sure if Acme services modded Z's although through my shop i have an account with them and know the parts guys. So when i took mine back then for the tire feather issue to get new tires i had already had the intake,plenum and pulleys done. They never said a word to me about it.

While there we did see a nice blue modded Z to which the sales guy told us was a customers.

Looks like I'll be keeping my car for a long time. 03 silverstone, 21k miles, fully loaded, with the best nismo kit on it. My car is just sexy as hell, and its paid off. I'm sorry, but that thing is just ugly. Until I see one nice *** body kit that really sets it off, I'll pass.

Thanks for the pics. I look forward to seeing time attacks and a front lip on the 370.

Oh and never noticed the indentation on the roof before.

Sadly, the humongous side mirrors are needed because visibility from the rearview mirror is almost non-existent.

350 flows better from front to back, but the 370z has TONS of potential in the after market world. Can't wait for the modded 370 threads!

i like my 350z and the Z32 way better then all the other z's
300ZX are still the best looking Z's in my opinion. This Z was/is way ahead of its generation!
If the 300ZX design came out as 2012 it would still rock!!

I agree- the 370 will not find it's niche until new kits come out that improve on the (what I believe to be) subpar body lines.

The right kit along the lines of the Nismo v2 along with wheels that have the right offset and a drop are going to make this car blow up.

As it is off the lot... they could have done better.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see a body refresh 2-3 years from now.

You really need to fix your front bumper, why did they paint your grill? But the 370z next to the 350z looks like such a big difference, especially when u have a kit and wheels though make sit look that much worst. It looks like they tried to change the hood back to the old style with the lines and raised it a lot, and added lines on the roof, made it look worst imo.
