Default 370 needed at VeilSide.

Hi there.

VeilSide USA is looking for a new Z to develop some new parts on. If anybody in the Los Angeles area would like to donate their 370 for about 2 weeks, we can get some new aero parts produced.

Please let me know if you would be interested.

Thank you.


EDIT : typo in thread title. WOOPS. Can somebody fix that to 370 please?

Yeah, isn't it terrible that aftermarket kit suppliers are developing more options for 370z owners? I don't know how people deal with it.

I think a subtle lip kit is what we were thinking about doing.
I think a few people enjoy the Ver.1 lip kit for the Z33, so maybe some will like one for the new Z.

Dude,
If I had one and lived in the LA area I would have been their yesterday.
Veilside is a classy operation, you can't go wrong buying their product. And there vs3 kit is the only reason I bought a Z in the first place. That's a **** up kit.

Honestly though, I'm not a fan of the 370. I wouldn't trade my 03 for an 09 if you paid me.

Brian, tell Kotso that Mike in St. Louis says Whats up.

^ HERE HERE.
What the hell was Nissan thinking when they design that front end? Whale Shark?
I know the Japs like Sushi, but now they're designing their cars to match their food.
Don't get me going on the 370 new body lines.

You're so fashionable

At the OP, I would be interested, but I am up in San Fran area. I do look forward to seeing what kind of subtle lip you are able to produce though...

Haha.. everybody is a critic. Everybody that doesn't own a 370 that is!

When I see an F40 I am quickly reminded of yesteryear as far as the square Halogen headlamps and Radio Shack buttoned dash are concerned and I feel thankful for modern technology as is the case with my 370.

I could criticize that F40 all day long but the truth is I wish I had one.

Don't get me wrong.
It has it's appeal to some. Just not me.
And it's not the God ugly front bumper, or that the a$$ end looks like the porsche 928 i.e.Risky Business, or even those lights. We won't go there. They all can be replaced.

It the roof line. They got rid of that beautiful sexy tear drop roof line and created a sharp angle at the top of the A-piller. It's lost all it's sex appeal now.
But if you've got one, then dammit ENJOY IT.
Don't let Dik heads like me ruin it for ya.

Your opinion does not make you a d¡ck; rather, how you express yourself makes you a d¡ck.

Not everyone loves the classic 240/260Z shape, so be it, leave it alone.

The roofline is classic Z. It's the 350z that departed from the classic Z shape/roofline/fastback look.

Keep it classy and subtle Veilside.

You guys usually do good on alot of cars, (fortune Rx7, nsx, to name a few) and the version 1 kit on the Z kind of stood the test of time.

Just my opinion but I was a bit annoyed with the V3 widebody being synonymous with all things Z for awhile. I couldn't go into a Target without seeing a toy/model car with that widebody kit. I bet most kids started to expect the Z to look like that.

Good luck.
