Ah... knew you were an older member by the styling of your mod(s).
You're taking our opinions (hate) well. Keep doing what you do but think twice about posting pix lol... unless you want to hear the troof from a bunch of car enthusiasts. Any random person on the street can compliment your car... but it takes a lot more recognition here b/c we all live and breathe Z.

Happy modding

Not old...just wise. Don't live and breath z or any car. just like cars period! The Z is a fun, nice looking car that earns a second look when driving down the street. had many vettes, camaros, mustangs and BMW's, each great on it's own. but I hate a stock looking car period! Thanks for your 2 cents anyway.

Why would there be pumps in the road?

Not to racial profile, but...willing to bet OP is a late 40's white guy with a mullet and a beer gut.

It is very obvious that this is your first import and that you are completely out of touch with what is considered acceptable for modding a 350z

That being said, you are of course entitled to modding your car as you want but doesn't mean everyone will agree with your taste.

Your attempt to diss my setup is pretty hilarious since you most likely have no idea about anything on my car

lol that you called me young, didn't know how you could assume my age from my response? I turn 35 this year for your info

I'll cut to the chase,its your car,you can do as you like.
However,the graphics will not pass muster in this house.
Trust me...
That saying,looking at your past Vettes,surprise...they had racing stripes.
Also,windshield graphics.Its apparent,you see these stripes as a "should have"
design mod for all your cars.
Thats OK.
Futhermore,I'm not surprised one bit that you are a "older" guy.Most Vette owners
I see are guys in their later years seeking to recapture their youth.So,in a way
you have "Vette-ised" your Z.It makes sense to give it a Smokey&The Bandit/Firebird
look.The quality of the graphics look well done.You must have this old buddy that
does all your cars..
But,IMO...in the eyes of the majority(who cares,right?),what you have done along with the chrome wheels is to cheapen the look of your Z.Sorta goes with the tacky (I really
don't know what it is?)garage sale item standing next to your garage door.

Well, point taken, but 35 is young....As for my first import, wrong. I have a 530i that does not have stripes, my BMW Z4M I used to own, did not have stripes, I have had a 260z, 280Z...no stripes. Lets see, had several other nissans, honda's and other imports, no stripes. My two camaro's did not have stripes and the 4 mustangs I had over the years, only one had stripes. To me it depends on the car and the color. Yes I like stripes on many sports cars, not sedans,
not trucks. I see most of you guys on this forum don't like stripes and that's fine. And I am not "dissing" your set up, just from what I see, it's not my taste. Black wheels look cheap, to me, and lowering a already low sports car is normal to many ricers as I see. The 350z is not a very fast car and was not made to sit on the ground, but it's your car do as you wish, you make the payments, or bought it, whatever, enjoy it the way you want to..

Meh on the stripes..sorry dude you put this up on a forum you might get good criticism or bad. At your 'age' you should know that, and waizz's car is lightyears ahead of your striped 350 imo.

I expected it to be much worse than what it is...I'm still not a fan though, and there is no way I'd ever put racing stripes on a 350Z, they should stay on classic muscle cars in my opinion.

Also.....please SHUT THE FU*K UP about the "hating"!!! Oh my God people, nobody is "hating", when a person is "hating" they are talking down about about something they want, but can not obtain, so they "hate" because they are jealous. If I pulled my **** out in front of you and and asked you what you thought about and you said "ew dick!" could I call you a hater? ......I didn't think so. There needs to be a sticky on this forum about the mis-use of the word hater. Sheesh.

Guys and Gals, I am very pround to see this forum up for all z owners with all ages, I wish everyone would be very mindful about their comments. Keep in mine that members in this forum are also very pround owners of their Z and want to share what they have. I wish everyone be respectful to their comments. I would hate to see Z members here call this forum that members are all dic$ and puss$ when other ask about this forum. Love every Z here. Peace everyone.

I think you're mistaken a hellaflush drop to a race car drop. Waizzz's drop isn't hella'dumpt... it's fully functional, because race car.
