I've never liked painted stock wheels and those stickers on the rims gots ta go. Those aren't Nismo forged rims and the only justification for stickers on wheels is if they came from the manufacturer that way, i.e., genuine Nismo wheels, Volk, Work, etc.

Those ridiculous nismo stickers on the wheels make an otherwise clean car look dumb.

Should of kept the wheels stock. I agree with everyone else, what's with all the nismo stickers? There isn't even 1 nismo thing on the car other then the shift ****..

^ For some people, a simple shift **** justifies the nismo decals on the wheels, engine covers, and interior trims.

Everything looks nice...minus the nismo decals on the wheels.

I appreciate the positive comments from everyone, but once again i don't wanna explain myself of how everyone is different. I just don't see how 4 Nismo stickers is overkill. Maybe its a bit confusin to everyone because i have uploaded so many pictures and happen to be NISMO everywhere.

I knew the cheese heads would come hate. Who cares what they think? It's your car and you are having fun with it and...that's the whole point. Mod it the way you want instead of being a sheep and copying the same look that most people think is different.

I like the HR hood. It updates the body. I'd rather see that then some goofy slotted carbon fiber mess. Also I like that it isn't lowered. I personally don't like the look of a slammed car.

Enjoy your car and don't sweat the comments.

Fine, I'll be the one to say it.

HR hood on non HR car = poser

That's like someone buying a bargain basement Dodge Challenger V6 then slapping a bunch of SRT8 badges all over it... Or a V6 Mustang with Shelby GT500 graphics... Its like a nice try, but we all know you're full of **** kind of thing.

or like people putting 06+ headlights and LED tails on a 03-05? I don't think so. It isn't "posing" at all...

LOL i have to agree 100% with you. Lots of members on here, buy and put 06+ headlights to upgrde their look and everyone thinks its fine and not poser...but my 08 hood is not fine LMAO...

Anyway it was a long story of how i got the hood to begin with. I was in a accident, and the insurance company wanted to put OEM hood back on the car. Well lucky me i looked into the pricing for the 08 hood and it was the same exact price as the 06. So i was like *** IT. Why not upgrade it for the same price, im not paying a difference....So People can go ahead and hate all they want. I like how my car looks. Believe it or not, i have one of the cleanest looking Zs in town here. Most of them are beat up and not well taken care of...

Oh im not sweating the comments at all. I just think its funny. I just love how they think 4 NISMO Decals on the wheels are overkill. At least i dont have a Blower on my hood and Supercharged emblems on the trunk..

Actually wrong. Upgrading to 06+ headlights is not for looks, it's for better output, same with tail lights.. I'm sure there are some who would upgrade them for looks though.

06+ headlights = Bi Xenon > 03-05 Halogen crap

LED tails = much brighter/better visibility > 03-05 crap

HR hood = more clearance for HR engine... ie pointless on a DE car. That's the difference.

Whatever, its your car. If you like it thats all that matters. You just have to put your flame suit on if youre going to post up pictures of it with that hood and all the stickers on a 350Z forum.

Falme suit on for what? Its not like i have riced the car out in any way. The HR hood just looks better than the flat hood with 2 lines down the middle. Who the hell cares if i have a HR motor or not. Just because the HR sits higher with the plenum and has dual intakes and has 6 more HP doesnt give HR owners to brag like the are the SIHT!!!
