I think I seen this car in person, it was with a gtr at QT in Doraville, super clean, no doubt

[boostedb16]

i normally like 350z's but this one is ugly as shit.

Parts of it are ok and parts aren't so much ok. Overall I personally don't care for it. Looks taken care of, though.

you can tell someone has taken care of it, something about it dont look right to me. the first picture, it looks a lot longer than it should be.

[l Gizzy l]

Why do blue wheels and bright red seats?

Looks good as a whole, though.

[Dylan]

This car has had some serious work put into it, however, less is more. It looks good, but this just isn't my style.

[D3UC3S]

Looks useless...cage and all.

Maybe im wrong. But something tells me this thing would totally useless on a track or anywhere that cage was needed.

[Sammich]

love it

whats up with you all and tracking a car, not everyone tracks their car. Its all aesthetic, just for a look

[AnthonyF]

Pretty cool. Probably fun to putt around in. Does the bent roll cage actually work or will it crumble on impact?

[D3UC3S]

Why put a cage in for hard parking and pictures. They are a PITA unless it is there to save your life.

Car looks clean but i mean, a cage.....really?

fukin yes!!!!!!!! w/ that train of thought...everyone who lowers their car should be tracking it...not every vehicle is tracked, alot of us like to make our cars just look nice. we dont have time to be replacing part after part because we tracking it all the damn time

[D3UC3S]

You guys missed the point....

No biggie

[Sammich]

you missed the point we are making...

[Sinfix_15]

Lot of expensive parts to make a car look stupid and tacky. blue wheels + blue cage + red seats looks ridiculous. Fender flares like that work on a 70s datsun or a jeep wrangler, they dont work on a 350z.

With a few changes this car could look extremely good, but the couple of things i would remove are so over the top annoying that it ruins the entire car for me.

[D3UC3S]

I got your point and i agree with it.

you missed mine about the cage on a car that doesn't see a track. Its useless. Its like a bike rack on the roof and you have no bike. useless

[Sinfix_15]

but what Sammich is saying is that you can put a bike rack on your car even though you dont have a bike just because it looks cool.

Sometimes i walk around with goggles on and carrying a snowboard even though i live in georgia....

ehhhh

lmfao exactly the point...it's owner's discretion...everyone has different taste...who wants to see all of the same cars at the same show....

[DoriDori]

I really like this! What are the details on the aero?

looks like Nismo v2 front bumper, nismo v2 sides, chargespeed rear bumper, and veilside fender/quarter extensions.

He needs to put those 06+ headlights and taillights he said he got.

No. Lowering cars isn't always about "tracking." I'm not saying the car looks bad because it looks like it should be on a track and isn't. I'm saying it looks bad because, to me, it does.

The mod list is on the site, i would post it but im on my phone,.

The owners idea was the old school flare look, blue and red have always been coordinating colors to me.

But i dont see the big deal with having parts that are not useful, most of the crap we buy on our cars we dont use it for what its for. Do we all need to have 2000$ suspension to drive around 285 all day and go to work? I dont know why you all dont know how this works.

Just two different crowds, J.

There's the "I do it because it looks good" crowd and there's the "I do it, regardless of how it looks, because it performs as I need it to"

All goes back to the Form > < = Function discussion. They're never going to see eye to eye.

Old school looks look good on old school cars, Joe. It just doesn't look good. I guess a more fitting wide body kit would have been suited for this car. I don't about the two colors being coordinated, but they just don't look good how they are applied.

Now this I'm not worried about. I personally wouldn't do a roll cage in a daily, but (as with his entire car) it's his car to do whatever. And you know I'm with you buying stuff (or not buying stuff) on cars that we don't "need." You know good and well how much my suspension set up cost, lolol.

[dc2killa]

Alot of hating going on...I like it just they way it is. CLEAN!

[quickdodge®]

Alot of hating going on..

Because we don't share the same tastes you have to misuse the word "hate?"

[alpine_aw11]

I dig it overall, but I have to agree with the cage comments. That's just flexin lol. Nice ride though I'm not dissing the guy at all.

[S4saken]

This car barely looks drivable, I'd never substitute performance for looks. If I have a sports car I want to drive it like a sports car and not have to worry about breaking anything. Thats just me though, But hey, if you wanna spend $20k+ on you car to look pretty for the camera go right ahead.

the car is on eibach springs and is about 3 -4 inches off the ground

this is barely drivable and it is Twin Turbo



and this one is too

i know lowering a car doesnt mean it's designated for tracking but w/ the train of thought of SOME in this thread...they think it looks bad because it has 'track related' parts and it's more than likely just a hard parker. you can not like the car because you dont like it, but i dont see the gripe of getting up in arms about not liking it because it should be a track car... <--- if any of that made sense

[quickdodge®]

if any of that made sense

It did, sir.

[boostedb16]

one thing i do agree with is the fact that nice looking kits are being used "not this one, i still say this is butt ugly" on cars instead of the "OEM called JDM" look. now if we can stop having to look at our VIN #'s to see what kind of car's we drive, that would be great.

[sprix!]

It looks pretty mean. If it weren't quite so low and had proper fitting tires, I would think it to be a true track beast.

[Sammich]

i'm sure those 2 things can be fixed before a track day...this car, as it sits...would be better on drifting...i dont see why no one else doesnt see this

I can see that. I suppose I am just stuck on the irony of a car fitted with fender flares to allow wider wheels/tires yet actually having stretched tires. Heh. But I am not bashing or hating, it still looks mean and I fully respect what the owner is pulling off with it.

This sums up my sentiments exactly. Just not feeling it.

Complaining about not tracking a car is so 2010 though.

Its on eibach springs! Lol when have eibach springs do anything low.

the flares make it look low bc it gives the tucked look.

ppl aren't paying attention to the gap from road and bumper//side skirts...
