Default The V2 + Eyelid CluB !!!!!

Okay so there are alot of mixed reviews on the eyelids but I for one am a big fan. So this is for all of you out there who have the nismo v2 bumper and eyelids, join the club and post your pics.


...For those who dont like the v2 + eyelid look...your just mad cuz our Z's look like they could beat the living $h!t out of your Zs.

Car looks awesome. The v2 bumper really compliments the 07 hood. Mind if i ask what kind of company made that v2 bumper? Whether it be shine or authentic...good stuff

The wheels are kind of a love it or hate it thing. You might hate it, but its more unique than volks gts that everyone and everyones mother has already. Yes its different, but it still gets loads of attention and compliments. Plus the pics dont do the rims justice.

I generally don't like them too much, but it looks really good with the more rounded look of the V2 + 07 hood.

And its probably been said enough bu.........actually no it hasn't, rims = no go.

Your point? I didn't know there were rules on comments from people with knockoffs

Hey his comment about the GT-S was spot on. Everyone has them. Were his rims the better choice,you decide(which everyone has )

I like the eyelids and the V2 might do it myself with my "knockoff" shine bumper...

Okay... first off the some of the V2 bumpers are Replicas not Knock offs

Knock off: Completely the same product but for a cheaper price and same material

Replica: Same style but made with better materials such as FRP or Carbon Fiber, better than the original... sorry to those who have the original but FRP vs Fiberglass.... no competition

I had the original fiberglass nismo V2 and scraped and cracked the s*** out of it one night leaving a parking structure. The FRP REPLICA can withstand alot of abuse with its flexibility.

Oya and i have this combo, eyelids and v2 bumper. IMO It looks MEAN!!

Yeah those guys at Nismo are ****in retards what were they thinking making something out of fiberglass.

I'm just saying I personally would not put a non authentic piece on my car. It's your car your choice.

unique doesnt necessarily make it look good. i hate that arguement, "at least its unique" i could drive around with a piece of turd on my hood to be "unique" but crap on the hood just doesnt seem appealing. and please dont hate on the GT-S cause a lot of people are riding on them, thats a horrible excuse.

Im not hating on the gt-s, in my opinion its a great set of wheels, however I don't want to be like everyone else and get lost in the crowd. My Claus Ettensberger rims are different, they are usually made for merc cl's and e55s and ive never seen them on a 350z so i thought why not. Your right, unique does not always mean it looks better, but for one, they're bigger than volk's.... 20's rather than 19's and far more expensive. Does it look BETTER, maybe, maybe not..... but at the end of the day it sure as hell turns heads, and thats all it comes down to. Thats why we do modifications in the first place!
