Here's mine at the 2012 6th Annual Z Car Show on October 13th. It was held in Nissan of San Bernardino in San Bernardino, CA.
Well I'm going to let off a bit of steam pertaining to the "club" that throws this car show >:/ haha.
Maybe a few of you have heard of the club, they're Empire Z "Southern California's Z Car Club of the Inland Empire". Well first, I say only about 25 cars showed up to be in the show, mostly older Zs so it was a lot smaller than what I thought. They had 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies for every category (240z,260z,280z and so on). Only 4 350Zs showed up to be in the show including me. 2 of them were 07/08 black convertibles, one was COMPLETELY stock and the other was too other than a Nismo stripe decal on the side of the door and a chrome front grille. The other Z was fixed up but to a very DIFFERENT taste, i'll say. Blue 350Z with 20" chrome rims, chrome engine bay, very bright baby blue leather seats, lambo doors and flame decals across the trunk.
I had heard from a friend that they are biased who they give awards to. Even though it is supposed to be people's choice (everyone in the show gets a ballot to vote for every category) so I just really didn't take any concern to what he said. Well awards were announced I didn't win anything. Blue 350Z got 1st, COMPLETELY STOCK convertible got 2nd and the other convertible got 3rd.
Now I am not a sore loser, but how is it the majority of people will choose a stock convertible 350Z over a Nismo 350Z?? Well I came to find out that the people that won are either from the club (they pay yearly dues to be in it) or know the people from the club personally.
So my only conclusion is that the show was rigged. I got a little pissed for spending $25 on entering the show and wasting an entire Saturday morning/afternoon under the hot sun at this lame *** show. So... F**K YOU EMPIRE Z.

@SickZ31, That's terrible. Anyways, I"m pretty sure your Nismo in stock form blew away those Z's that won. It's a simple, but yet effective.
"Blue 350Z with 20" chrome rims, chrome engine bay, very bright baby blue leather seats, lambo doors and flame decals across the trunk."
Definitely fail including the flames on that Z.
Must be something like this:

@Kcee91 LOL! I have actually seen that hideous purple one at another car show in earlier this year in Orange, Ca. I felt embarrassed for him so much because most of the people that passed by it laughed.. but anyways the blue one I am talking about wasn't as bad as this, at least exterior wise, but the interior was pretty bad.
Here's a pic, most of the car is covered by the bushes but you can see its chrome rims and its lambo doors up. And right next to it is Stock convertible that won 2nd place.
And just another pic of mine
It wasn't just my category that was rigged. That white Z32 TT that is behind the blue 350Z was extremely clean. Custom midnight blue Nismo LMGT4s, Carbon black top, coil overs etc. But no, the Z32 that one was a red one with bride seat knock offs and lambo doors o-0?

Good thing you didn't show a pic of the interior.

Hey y'all,
Haven't been on here in awhile, but my Nismo has gone through several different looks in the past few years.
Here is the latest! I'll post pics once I get the new wheels on, rather than these poopy drift spares I'm running.

Actually can't be mad at her...
She's driven it more than most, an is turning it into a show car hence the horrible fitment...

Yeah, this is becoming a show car, so I'm doing something totally different. I'm throwing on some HRE 540rs (20 x 10.5 and 20 x 13) and lowering it a tad. I'm not really a show car enthusiast, but I figured I would at least do something cool with my daily driving. I'm retiring the Nismo off of the track and I'm building another Z33 chassis for drifting.
Heh, funny stuff. OMG, you don't like it?! I think I'll just go cry until I die now. I don't aim to please you sir, hate all you want.
