hehehe... you're gonna find that smartass is the "native language" on here. It takes some thick skin, but 90% of the comments are in fun.

Get used to it, especially if you swim against the stream of the accepted mods, brands, and style that is mainstream.

And good choice on the color OP. Just stick with it, you will get there. Take time to read about products and use this site as a tool. We have some great vendors and members that have a tremendous amount of knowledge about this platform. Yes, there will be negative opinions on some subjects, but use critisism to help you build a better car. And remember if you ask for feedback, you will get it.

Looks good man. I think black wheels would make the car look sick. I had my tails tinted on my cobalt but got pulled over too many time in rockwall tx so I bought some led tails. Is that an aftermarket front bumper? I'm new to the Z's but I wanna get rid of my front emblem and not have any evidence of it ever being there. But I agree with you about not spending 3k on wheels.

looks like you have good ideas for where you want to take your Z but ... guess what happens if someone rear ends you with those tails? you're at fault. not fun.

I had some ******** with tinted tails in a caliber srt4 in front of me on the freeway. his car was blocking the view of the little miata in front of him. the miata had to slam on his brakes, the caliber slammed on his brakes (and I couldn't see his brake lights), then he swerved to the other lane to avoid rear ending the guy and in turn I almost plowed that miata.

save yourself the trouble.

*** NO.

Houston roads are garbage, very poorly maintained and very highly trafficked. Last i was there, Dallas was the same.

What are you looking for? I have Eibach ProStreet-S coilovers and they ride great... but they don't give you an extreme drop.

i see well i feel your pain. Jersey roads are messed up everywhere, suburbs, mountains, even by the shore.

OP, if you can get your hands on a Nismo S-tune suspension that'll only lower you a bit, .8 inch to be exact and it'll improve handling and comfort.

Spacers, take off the tail light tint, respray your front bumper so it actually matches the rest of your car, get rid of the orange reflectors on the front bumper, restore the head lights, get a new shorty antenna, get rid of the rear wiper, throw away the blacked out nissan emblem, especially considering you got rid of the one on the front bumper, and fix the gapped tooth.... I mean space between your hood and bumper. Come on now, if your going to start working on your car and spend this kind of money on the Z, shouldn't you just do it the right way? BTW this is my PERSONAL opinion, disregard it all if you believe the modifications you have done to your 350z actually please you.
