and not the carbonsignal ones?

Carbon Signal is a completely different look than I was going for. I wanted the ZG style fender flares. The theme of my car is a throwback to the S30. CS fender flares are more of a LW style. As I've repeatedly stated I wanted to do something different. Not something that has been done on a bunch of Zs. Nothing against CS or Nikko, I just wanted to be different. As far as buying cheap flares, well they are the only company that I found that made ZG style flares for a 370Z Nismo.

Typical car forums... Now what good were either of your comments? What did they accomplish? Anything? Other than just being a Troll I suppose... I'm not looking for only positive feedback.. However there is a difference between constructive criticism and just being a troll and being negative. Saying it is "poorly executed in every facet" not only is not constructive, it's plain rude. Not only that, but again that is merely your opinion. If you don't like it fine, just say hey it's not my style. If you insist on being critical maybe give your reasons, suggestions etc if you feel so compelled to do so. In other words try using a bit more respect and tact maybe.

This was not a build for purists, this wasn't a build for the track guys. In reality it wasn't a build for anyone aside from myself. If others enjoy it great, if not well they can go kick rocks. I can understand and appreciate this not being everyones style. What I can't appreciate or respect is people talking trash for the sake of talking trash. I know that A LOT of blood sweat and tears and painstaking detail went into this build. I can not nor will I take credit for the actual build itself. The concept was mine, the work was done by Sergio @ 3rd Gear Customs Honestly pictures do not come close to doing justice.

The difference is in the execution, plus stance. Not present here

I think you made your opinion known.. Twice in fact. The fenders are 370Z specific, NOT generic.. As far as suspension I am on Airlift suspension, so I have that covered thanks.

I'm not trolling you dude, I just don't like what you did. Like you pointed out, it's my opinion. I don't have to like everything and I don't have to spare your feelings.

Some people just can't handle criticism, it hurts their inner child.

So not only do they look cheap, they are also extremely overpriced

Man, folks beatin this guy up, He's one of us ( a " Z " owner) I thought he was just posting his ride for our viewing pleasure and not looking to be torn to pieces. Sheeesh.

cooltoy · 11-10-2016, 11:28 AM

Are we supposed to baby him and tell him it looks good?

That is a risk one takes when posting anything of your own on the internet. Some people will like it and some will not. Got to have a thick skin.

I personally don't like the bolt on look, whether it is rocket bunny or any other kit out there, for any car. So it does not matter how expensive it is, or how well it's done and made I wil not like it as much as if the fenders were molded in.

KMO-II · 11-10-2016, 11:45 AM

I dunno. I just feel bad for the guy, Im sure he didn't expect to be ripped a new one. Just me. Now if he said please tell me what you think of my build, game on ya know?

cooltoy · 11-10-2016, 11:59 AM

He got positive comments too. One takes the good with the bad.
