Default Hot or not?

05' Chrome Silver with Stillen V2 hood, ADR M-Sports 18's. Slightly lowered on Tein's.

Probably not the ideal angle to show the hood, but wanted to get the general thoughts on the overall look/feel.





Turn on's, turn off's, etc?? Love it, hate it, burn it at the stake?

Seems the hood is love it or hate it. I'll try to get a few more pics from different angles as this one is definitely not ideal for making the hot or not judgment.

hood is to much of a focal point. Need to balance the car out. Spacers for the wheels. Or new wider wheels. Put some phat meats on them rears. That would be hot. Im thinking a small spoiler/wing of some sort along with other aesthetic parts. You can either go way over the top to full out want to be race car, or simple parts here and there to complement the hood. Is the car charged? If not, get it charged with that hood. Otherwise you're better off sticking a porsche sticker on the back of the car too.
Not all is lost ... yet

The rest of the body needs to catch up to the hood. I don't mind the hood if it's functional, but the stock body needs some modding.

Not feeling the wheels, either.

Yeah, I hear ya on that one. Very similar to their hood.

Funny thing is, the lady (whose car it is) gets nothing but compliments on the overall look of the vehicle and especially the hood.

I had to replace the hood a couple of years ago due to vandalism and was able to score a good deal on the Stillen V2 hood as opposed to putting the plain Jane stock hood back on there.

I will get some more pics, although most of the community (350 Z'ers) don't care for the hood. I realized that well before I bought it. The consensus was "If you don't have the SC on it, why use the hood" mentality.

And, while I can see the point to that, I didn't fully agree with it.
