I like how they look and props to the originality and effort.
But it's a really mixed feeling for me.

It's like looking at a pretty female...
but you know she's not REALLY a female.

If puttin names all over your car is what makes you happy, then I say enjoy them. It's not something I would drop money on. I prefer to improve function with my spending, but thats me. Looks like quality work though.

Thumbs down ...

Why not hang a FMI, and add the blow-off whistle in your exhaust? That's something new. Not trying to be harsh, but your being ridiculous. If money wasn't a problem why not buy the real thing? People don't buy bucket seats for looks, it's a function. Some people buy things for looks, but others also buy it for function. There were a few others talking ****, I'm just assuming your in a similar boat. This could even be the new fat leather couch seat cover thread, LOL. I usually don't comment on things like this, but I just couldn't let this thread go on like this.

PS: Look what I found, something NEW!

I'm not going to comment on the seats, but VQ35DEV6 needs to learn to read before he starts bashing...

Here's a quote from Elite before he posted pics of this car (which I think looks really good by the way).

"These pics are a bit old, I have the track wheels powder-coated flat black now."

I think the exterior of the car looks banging... the interior is cool and the seat quality looks great, but I don't know if I'd rep brides I don't have...

They have Porsche Badges on Ebay for $20 too for the hood and trunk, Baer Stickers for your Brake calipers, Nismo Stickers for your Wheels and I bet you can even get a kick *** Ferrari Logo for your engine cover too...


You wouldn't put any of that on you car as they would only "fool" some people and make other people "Laugh" at you that are in the know.

A $10 Movado doesn't tend to stay together or function as well as a real one, Just as $300 Bride forgeries don't function as well real ones with a harness do.

The powdercoated wheels are a personal preference I am sure, but they can also be construed as "cheap". Since you boast that you have limitless funds, why do yourself a disservice? You are comprimising on getting the performance of the genuine parts while "Lowering" your "status" symbol's(which is what this car is for most) effect.

I would rather have a stock Z than a Fake Ferrari so to speak.

Powdercoated RAYS Track wheels are almost just as good as Volks man (please note, as noone else seems to notice, that he has changed wheels since his pictures). I mean, they ARE made by the same manufacturer as Volk, G-Games, etc.

Only drawback I see is they are only 18" and 8.5 wide... otherwise, track wheels are a steal at $1000 bucks compared to $4000 for volks or works or nismo.

The seats are another story...

Mistake on my part, didn't read through it carefully, only skimmed. I don't mind if other people want to rice out their Z's, hell it's going to be 10000 times worse after FF3 comes out. Obviously there will be positive comments and negative comments if you post on a forum, don't have to try and play it off with "money is not a problem". If money isn't a problem why not buy the REAL thing? Bride logos on a NON-Bride seat .
