Default Aston Martin inspired 350Z....

This is cool. I would love to do this to my Z when I get it, except with just the front bumper and fenders...

I love Aston Martins and that Z does look very smooth, however, especially with the Aston Martin logo in the front (and God knows where else) that is the same principle as buying a civic and turning it into an M3. Some details might look nice, but there is a fine line and obviously that guy crossed it.

Kinda gives a new meaning to the term "hybrid" .

are you serious?? You know you can buy a fiero with a lame Ferarri kit for much less than a Z.

I like it IMO it shows a sense of creativity, which looks alot better than some of the fat bulky looking aftermarket lips designs for the 350Z. I applaud your efforts.

I'm sure you could fool a lot of people though, especially girls.

Yeah . . . I bet 90% of the chicks out there won't know it's not a real Aston Martin, anyway. Hell . . . they'll probably think it's a Porsche or something. Chicks just don't appreciate the intricasies of cars, esp. aftermarket mods. My wife thinks all the aftermarket body kits (NISMO, Veilside, etc) are people trying to make the Z look like a Porsche. Of course she can't distinguish a Veilside kit from a Greddy one. But then again, I don't appreciate the intricasies of proper eye-shadow coloring for the various seasons (uh . . . darker in the winter, and pastels in the spring . . . or earth tones in the fall and blue eye-shadow never?)

I kind of like those wheels on the Z...

And I agree that 90% of people wouldn't know the difference and would believe that it was an aston without hesitation.

takes away from the car... when i first bought the Z the first thing I did was shop for aftermarket body kits... but after a year of ownership, i realized that the stock design of the Z is a thing of beauty... sure there are nice kits out there that make the car racier or more sporty/luxurious looking, but the stock design of the car is what sold me in the first place

If it's not photoshopped, it's sad

Its gotta be chopped. The foglamps look chopped for sure. Definitely gross. I give it a 10 on the PUKE scale.

It just makes me want a real Aston Martin. The grill shape is good, the fender streaks are cool, as are the headlamps, just not on a Z.

That just makes my job (sticking it in her butt with the ***** that rules them all) all that much easier.
