350zDSR

I liked it more before the surgery. Congrats nonetheless.

Everyone's a sharp shooter on these forums aren't they? lol it's all good, everyone has their own taste and opinions

KingBaby

That's correct!


Color match the front V2 lip

Some really aggressive wheels to pull everything together!

Just like that

Thin line between clutter and epic awesomer Z ?

350zDSR

Yeah, in th market for wheels now...but I like the lip te way it is, hense, why I went that route. I totally understand, everyone has their 2cents on everything on these forums, and that fine and I respect that. But I don't think anyone changing their taste/style, to have everyone else happy and impressed isn't right....but I do like hearing feedback, regardless what thy are

Thn paint the sides and rear lip to match the front?

350zDSR

No intension w painting the sides, but the rear, I did w the inner part, near the exhaust

Car looks good!
Props on your comment about,its your taste/not everyone is gonna like it/
you do etc.For sure,there are always the guys,when a owner posts
pics of his car,the feedback is:
lower it
wheels black
go to 06+headlights
Volk is the ONLY wheel to have.Of course,TE-37's.

Good that you have a vision on how you want your car to look.
My car is loaded with CF.Not everyone's taste.But,I like it.

I would spring for a wheel upgrade,though.The stockers just don't
do justice to all the work&expense you have done.Are those the OEM wheels?Thought the ANNIV.ED came with different wheels?
But,its all about money,right?

Are you certain that is a 35th Anniversary model? I can't tell if the brakes are Brembo. The wheels are not correct for the Anniversary model but they are easily changed. Just wondering?

In the first pics, looks like just red painted non brembo caliper.

silvertouringz

car looks much better in the "before" pic

350zDSR

The brembo brakes were my concerns too. But when I was at Nissan, I asked tht, and they told me not ALL 35th anniversary's came w brembo. Even when pulling up my vin, it comes up as a 35th edition

350zDSR

Thanks bro. It's whatever's. I know I'm new to this forum and 350z' but I'm no stranger to message boards. They're full of the same type of people, w different taste. It's all good,it's no one else's car but mine. No one else paid for it or the things I'm doing to it, so to me, it's all just opinions. I don't get offended easily, which may upset most, lol. Some like basic looking cars, others like more. It's all personal taste, and it's all good.

As for the wheels, yeah, definitely in the market for some now. Stocks have to go
