Since he looks like he's 16/17, more than likely it's his 1st car ever

Keep the shiny side up OP, and get rid of the Fairlady sticker

Get rid of the ugly headlight cover
Get rid of the ugly decal on the side
Get rid of the ugly decal on the Nissan logo
Get rid of the ugly 350Z badge, the crooked Fairlady Z badge, and the Nismo badge on the trunk.
Get rid of the Nismo sticker inside too - Nismos did not exist in 2003.

A lot of this stuff you can do yourself in about 10 minutes time and make the car look much better. The paint looks clean, as does the body kit, though. Just get rid of the ricer crap.

your a dick......










but thx for being real

Regardless of the hideousness of your Z, congratulations on having a awsome first car dude!!! How old are you and what did you pay for it?
Look at Work VS-XX wheels!

You don't have to replace the eyelids, just remove them. Honestly, remove everything except the bodykit, spolier, and hood (you can judge that later). A lot of that crap you have on there is 10 sec add on chit so remove it asap. The DPE wheels you showed below looked pretty good. However, I would suggest you research the wheel threads on this site before you go ***** in. What is your budget for wheels anyway?

those DPE's are nice as sht. The general mesh style wheel in this community is the WORK VS-XX, which are one of my favorite all time wheels.

edit- wrong wheel name

Just curious to why you bought the car if you don't know much about it? Did you do any research on what to look out for like problems with different models to avoid ending up with a Lemon, etc? Good luck with it and be Super careful driving it. Own the car. Don't let it Own you.

You haven't the slightest idea of what you'll hear later.

Take in all the above comments. The wheels you posted CAN look good. If you stick around for a while pretty soon you'll be able to identify for yourself what's going to work and what won't.

Congrats on the ride and treat it well.

+14 or so by now.


Stock taillights are one hell of an improvement from what you have, stock are probably the best ones you can get for it.
