What Do You Think?

I'm curious to see what the Z community thinks. This is the first time I've done anything like this.

What do I think?
 
I think you should take off that front plate bracket if you're not going to mount the front plate, it's a terrible look. And the stripes could stay through the weekend since it looks like you already spent a amount of time on it. It should be gone by Monday before many more people see it :twocents:...and don't forget spacers and moar low! But I think you already knew that :tup:

^^ This. Sorry, not a fan of the exterior red accents. The interior looks ok though. But yes, get a drop, install spacers, and lose the plate bracket.

If you like it, run with it. Nothing wrong with personalizing your ride...just saying

kenchan 04-24-2016 07:45 AM

It's different, not too over the top

Might do a CF rear spoiler and white letter sidewalls to get the race car theme going.

I think the stripes would look a lot better if they were a satin black or flat black. Something that doesn't pop out as much. A wiseman once said.... "less in more sometimes"

kynseon 04-24-2016 08:11 AM

Looks a little bit too much for my taste. The

Nixin 04-24-2016 09:05 AM

Since you asked, I will say "remove the stripes asap"

quarryninja 04-24-2016 09:48 AM

I personally don't like how it looks, but it's your car, not mine :)

axmea? 04-24-2016 10:54 AM

Stripes are hard to pull off on the Z. The idea of a subtle color for your stripes mentioned earlier might work. You should give it a try.

Nah

MagmaRed370z 04-24-2016 12:02 PM

I give you A for effort but Sorry I personally don't like it. Props for originality though. The only thing I like is the Z painted logo.

SouthArk370Z 04-24-2016 01:11 PM

Not something that I would do but it looks pretty good to me - especially for a first effort.

I'd try it without the lateral stripes at top/bottom of windshield and maybe make the stripes a little wider. The flat/satin black or more subtle color stripes that have been mentioned sound interesting.

jaedub 04-24-2016 05:12 PM

It's not terrible but not great either. I think the red accents should be little bit more subtle kinda like the new Nismo.

Breadz 04-24-2016 05:16 PM

stripes are a little to thick maybe? idk, i like that the red matches the calipers. that being said overall i don't really like the stripes

No take it off. You ask.

So much hate.. smh...

Isamu 04-24-2016 09:09 PM

Only missing the plate because it's not in yet.. ND requires a front plate brah..

AntiVenom 04-25-2016 05:31 AM

I sorta like it. Not my personal taste. I think on a more modified car it would fit in better. Kinda bold for a stock car though.

As others have mentioned it's your ride. Don't worry about what a bunch of us think. Only the first guy to do something is original; the rest are just copycats.

Did u know they actually added the red stripes on set because all black didn't "pop" enough after the first few scenes were filmed.

Abntroop 04-25-2016 04:17 PM

Well man, if you gotta do stripes of any kind, that's the slickest way of doing them I've seen yet. I'd be curious to see what it looked like if they were matte black or a metallic gunmetal. Something a little more subtle in that pattern could be really neat.

Duc_Z09 04-25-2016 04:30 PM

If those hood stripes (minus the horizontal part) were areas of bare aluminum and then you clear-coated that over top of the entire hood, I think it would look pretty awesome. Of course you'll need to strip and respray for that effect. I've been considering something similar for about a year. These cars don't do traditional stripes well... or hood pins, louvers, or other classic muscle car things for that matter. But if done properly, an accented Z will be a thing to behold.:tup:

I'm not a fan of it as-is, but props for making the effort. Remember that most of the jokers on this forum bashing you never tried to make anything original in their lives. They buy a bunch of bolt-on parts and a body kit from Amuse, have someone else paint it, and then call it "custom." IMO "custom" isn't something you can buy online.:rolleyes:

stansens 04-26-2016 12:06 AM

Well whether I like them or not is not important. I think from the close up interior pics that your work is clean and nicely done. If you need to ask because you're not sure then maybe consider some of the suggestions and change it a bit. Maybe wait a bit to see if it grows on you. Good effort.

:iagree: I agree with the Canadian.

Normally I'm a prick but I'm in a good mood today. It's your ride so **** what we think but I think you can do better. It's your first attempt and you are on the right track to personalize and make it your own. Have a beer or hit the rock, step back and really look at how you want to express yourself on your ride.

BrianMSmith 04-26-2016 09:35 PM

I love it
