It is, it just is. the base looks much better imo with just a simple kit, nothing fancy and i don't like most of the kits out for our cars (and they cost WAY to F'n much for a bit of poly or wet carbon. As for the "upgrades" with a nismo these get me WAY more than the looks. The 370z nismo is up there on my list of worst factory limited edition packages ever. I liked the 350 nismo at least it was different, seam welded, with real suspension, and engine changes(HR vs. DE is what you call an engine improvement not just an F'n exhaust). The 370 nismo was only made to trick people into buying it thinking it was the same bump in performance as the 350 nismo. It's all looks and appearance when compared to base +sport it has no balls. But to each his own if you want to pay 4k for a dash plaque be my guest.

Dude! At first when I started watching the two cars in the lot I was like those things are slow. But when I saw them run into each other I was like, I guess one doesnt need to be fast to smash ones car to hell. I hope they both are okay.
Changing topic what do you guys think about the Nismo graphics? 1 Is that rice, 2 not rice, or 3 its okay I guess.

The amuse kit maybe but there are certain things I don't care for on it. RICE race inspired consmetic enhancements. The nismo is not that. Its all functional.

They sure got you drinking the kool-aid

This needs to be added to the thread.

I saw this thread and the first thing that came to mind is those stupid lowered cars with jacked up Camber, and then I come to the last page and yep, that's pretty much it...lol

StevenSlice · 03-20-2018, 11:13 AM

I feel like the thread needs to be brought back alive, with all the stupid **** done to cars these days, and all of the pointless mods that exist but are still done in heaps :P

Nithmo · 03-20-2018, 01:31 PM

Like body kits?

Was at a car show in Kissimmee a couple weekends ago. Pretty big gathering both in an exhibit hall and outside. Pulled the wife along as I am attempt to learn more about the 370Z. Inside the hall where all the radical mods where at, the wife is looking at the cars and wants to know why they have flat tires. Now many years ago she ran an auto shop and was even certified on the alignment machine so she has a good understanding of what works and what should be.

But I did not understand her thinking the tires were flat. It took a bit of discussion to understand how she was see the suspension. I explained a couple times it is the Bagged suspension alignment and undersized tires on wide wheels. She finally caught on and was less than impressed.

That is one crowded taxiway. It probably would have been faster to get a car and drive.

I remember that guys build thread. I was so sad as I watched some well done metal work turn out so poorly, aesthetically speaking. Like four bubbles hanging off the car and there wasnt even an aggressive body kit used to attempt to help the car.
