Input needed on visual mods

edub370 · 07-07-2011, 08:58 AM

like I said, I have the itch for a mod or two, i would like to put a carbon lip/fang cover on the car, MAYBE a carbon rear diffuser. However, I don't know if with these bronze wheels I can pull off the carbon look without clashing with the wheels. maybe another accent color??

Also, looking for ideas on a possible black roof wrap, or painted lip kits or diffusers.

Weigh in on what direction you think i should take this thing!

Here's some pics of the car as it sits currently

Any input is appreciated!

thanks guys

Bronze wheels go with practically nothing, as this car comes equipped with black and silver accents all around. If you like the CF look, I think you might as well go with that, and if you think it clashes too much with the wheels, you can always get the wheels re-sprayed or buy new rims later.

i would say that a more aggressive front end is a good start

ya i'm finding that its hard to match mods with these wheels. However, they have completely grown on me and i love the way they look. Prolly cuz i know i will never run into anyone else that has them. Diggin my own grave with mods there i guess

there's plenty of mods you could do. just make sure that whatever you do, it matches the colour of the paint....any kind of body kit you want, spoilers, etc. Personally, I like those wheels...they're unique and I wouldn't change them.

edub370 · 07-07-2011, 09:27 AM

^^Agreed. I think i am just frustrated because i never usually have trouble figuring out which direction i would like to take a car, but this one has stumped me

Brutal 370Z · 07-07-2011, 09:35 AM

yup I feel ya. Its a matter of personal taste, so its hard to help too. do you have a particular budget in mind?

Brutal 370Z · 07-07-2011, 09:38 AM

To bring in my personal thought process that lead me to order the Nismo front end...I figured that because I'm putting the car through winter (and we get harsh winters), I should probably go with urathane on any exterior body mods for extra durability/flexibility. This really limited my options, hence leading to the Nismo products.

If you really want to go wild with it, get your accents painted bronze. Get your z logo turn signal bronzed, the headlights, the Nissan Hamburger logos, the 370Z badge, the door handles... Then it would all match, and no one would have anything like it.

I would love to see the headlights in bronze. Actually this entire idea would look sick.

I think cf looks dark grey from a distance and matches the Nissan bbk. Cf won't look so out of place.
