Ok so I am looking at getting this Z into shape, when I bought it I saw potential, but it kinda made me cringe also lol!~ anyway so far I cleaned it up a bit, and I have a decent pair of shoes coming in (flat rota p45r's).
But I still am missing something though, everytime I look at it its looks cool, but not

<<<<<<<<<In your honest opinion do you feel that this car has potential, or is it just to crazy in the current condition?p.s. with the thruxtons they have a 30mm rear set and a 20mm front set of spacers on the way so they should be a little bit more aggresive then they are now! and when they are in ill slam this thing!!!!

........be honest.....dont hate, but, well if you want to go ahead, im just looking for advice on where to go from here

here is poor thing before:

also what size drop in your opinion does it need for after the spacers install???
just front drop or both front and rear?

 

Needs more carbon fiber!

 

needs: sideskirts, new front bumper, 06 blacked out headlights and your golden.

 

thank god you got rid of those louvers or whatever they are called in the back windows! I think it looks good...

wth? is that a mudguard?

Also, why post so many threads! You already have so many, with the same pics, just update it and stop posting new threads.

 

dude I was actually thinking that? how bad *** color change from flat to carbon

 

stay with nismo? or something else in mind?

 

well thanks I think the same thing, but im looking to get it to a point where it looks better than good.lol
any suggestions?

 

Where can i get a hold of those LED side markerS?

Get rid of the gloss on the rear, front bumper and side skirts. Looks kinda weird when the rest of the car is gloss. But thing looks good.

^^Longer front nose would look sweet. More aggressive front bumper and side skirts with a drop and blackout headlights would look sweet!

 

Needs CARBON FIBER!!!!!!!

 

The car definitely has potential.

My advice would be:

Take off window louvers
Make sure the whole car is one shade of black
06+ Headlights Blacked out
Coilovers
And if I was in your shoes I would go all out and do a do luck body kit all flat black
Or even the nismo V2 with the bottom lip in carbon and the sides and rear add ons in carbon.

 

loose the louvers, give it a nice drop and some agressive wheels. honestly i dont see carbon fiber flowing too well with it. With that aggressive look, you can pull off the oem body. Slam it so low that it looks like you got a kit on it.

Your second set of pictures are better, but i say more aggressive wheels. LIP!!!! Your heading towards a black version off my Z. Just need that drop. Will improve 10fold.


Coilovers>springs

 

You should add how much you have to spend to this post. In my opinion I would get side skirts but hey I can say the same for myself. After that I would get headlights or a full front "I like the V3 Nismo" and rear MG diffuser. If you still have cash left over then you should get an Asuka or MG Hatch with a nice sculpted rear and an Asuka CF roof cap "double hump".

 

Carbon fiber will flow with it if you get the body parts in dry carbon

 

I'd say remove the spoiler and the tint off of the tails, and lighten up on the tinted windows.. all that black is overkill, otherwise, those Rotas will look great.

 

I think the spoiler looks great!

Your car will look much better if you do a big brake kit upgrade. It will make a HUGE difference.

Also, to darken up the rear, I think it would look great if you added a black or carbon fiber license plate cover.

 

On the Nismo v2 kit!
