I think if its done properly, and actually built into the fender, it looks nice..

But please, dont even think about the magnetic "vents"

Looks like a Z with a personality crisis.

No no no, listen those were designed for the M3, lets leave it for the M3, the BMW guys would have a field day about this. The Z has enough personality.

That hood and wing are the hottest for the Z though.

before I saw the pics, I was thinking HELL NO, but once I saw them, I have to admit that it does look pretty sweet, HOWEVER, since that is an M3 staple, I would be embarrassed driving around, especially if a bmw came up beside me.

on another note, that hood and side skirt is FIRE!!! anyone know who makes them????

I would agree that the built in vents look pretty pimp. On the other hand, I dont like the fact that it is a staple of another car.

LOVE the amuse Z, but it could do without the m3 vent. Now if they made vents with a different design (like how Ings did), i think ti'd look alot nicer.

I think the Z would look good without the badge on the sides, let alone m3 vents.

the INGS vent is alright, but I think someone should create a vent that actually looks like it belongs on the z, with the sharp cuts that the car is known for.

Here is the thing, if the M3's vent actually connects to the engine bay and the vents actually has a function to help it get rid of heat, that is one thing.

But if some 350Z slaps on a vent that doesn't connect to the engine bay and has no function...

Do you see where this is going?

On a side note: Not feeling that hood.
