Your Z looks like sh!t in comparison. That is one ugly nose panel and the rims are meh. No offense.

If I were voting pre 96 with comparable looks it would have to be this one:

or this except he has your taste in nose panels.

Even if you guys think that nose is ugly, at least it does something. :)

Both of those look like sh!t. Stock 300ZX looks are WAY better than that aftermarket horse dung

if you say so. :roll:

Ok so it is odd looking, but they wouldn't make it like that if Nissan didn't route the air filter behind that panel... :confused:

I don't think any of those are any better :p because IMHO, that part shouldn't have any holes at all. :) Hell their IMSA car doesnt even have holes there... yeah yeah so they cheated but still... :p

Well if you must have an aftermarket kit on your 350Z or try to make it look like a 911 I like this, this, and this. :)

Ugly, Uglier, F@P!

the tommy kiara (last one) makes it look like a whale. I used to like it but now I'm learning towards the vertex kit.

The Vertex does look nice... the front bumper just looks a bit bland though... the Vertex lip kit is a little more subtle but I think its a wee bit on the expensive side... not sure... but if it were then its probably better to go for the full front and rear bumper. :)

yeah, the front bumper is a little bland, but it's growing on me. looks much better than the tommy kit now. I don't I've seen the vertex lip, I'll have to check it out though. :gift:

what is factory rice? for that matter, what is a ricer?

Its still awfully heavy... wonder why they didnt put it on a small diet at least. :confused:

the body kit is ugly yes, but functional. While it's as fast as the Track model, it handles better at high speed.

Utterly useless in NA, but pretty neat in other parts of the world.

precisely the word. I do like that spoiler - just the right size like the 911. The lip it comes with now just doesn't do it right.

I'm shocked that some of you say it's ugly.

I think it's quite possibly the sexiest car I've ever seen. :Q

I want!
