Smile And you know this....

The rims are Volks GT-Vs, it has the Bose sounds system with the sub-woofer and iPod connections. Also the interior mood lamps. I am looking for a the right rear spoiler to add some character to the rear. Suggestions?

I dont know, it looks pretty good as is. Maybe clear corner lenses and light smoke on the brake lights. not too dark on the silver though; I would go light. other than that its Boss already

Voted so-so. Looks pretty stock, for some reason I don't like the look of those rims on the car.

Default Tks.

I was going for a look that is totally different than the stock rims or the Nismo rims that everyone else in Japan is wearing on their 350Z coupes.

Default Thanks Fluid....

The taillights are the LED type which look quite good to me already. I will take your advice and change the corner lights when I add the illuminated "Z" emblems on the sides.

Looks good!
I like the rims - they add a nice touch of style to the car IMO
They make the car unique
Congrats!

I haven't seen the illuminated Z emblems, perhaps you have a link?

I like very much your explanation of why you got the rims you got. I definitely am not a fan of everyone hopping on the Nismo fanwagon.

Keep up the good work! Do you plan to add any power modifiers?

Looks great minus those rims, no reason for "bling" on a Z.

Ravensaxe......The rims are not "Bling" only the 3-inch lip of the rim is chrome, the rest of the rim is matte. But I can see why you would think that....its called clean and polished (smile).....

i kinda also don't enjoy these rims on your Z, as nice as the car looks, maybe another type of Volks? or maybe Works. those are my two favorite brands. =P my brother has a roadster with volk gt-s and they look amazing, and also i like the work emotions.

Pretty sure GT-V's look like


looks like you actually have GT-AV's. Which, needless to say are not the prettiest wheels that Rays Engineering makes.

Default I hear ya!

I originally decided on the GT-Vs but changed my mind later. I guess you have issues about my selections for MY vehicle (smile). But the possibilities are unlimited because I paid CASH for this baby and anything I add will be CASH also! (smile).....

"I like, what I like...." But I appreciate your honesty about your views and tastes.....otherwise I would never have thrown the question out there....

Peace!

Default Cherry Blossoms

Just a few.....I managed to fire the engine-up and cruise before the wind began to blow them around.....at present they are all over the grown in most places....sticking to your windshield, etc. But my baby is tucked away in the garage on weekdays....
