My car is not ricey enough for you people!

Sorry for the repost, My pic hosting service got all screwed up and I was having a hard time changing it so I started over. I got some 350z 18" wheels and a new head unit so I got excited and took some pictures. Let's hear your opinions!

looks like my car and the project route that I'm going with it. No wing, no external mods beyond the wheels and noticeable suspension upgrades (unless you count small things like grille and clear lights etc...). Basically a clean ride. That's my style and apparently yours. Looks damn good.

Looks real clean and nice, but I've never been a fan of using OEM wheels from another car, I prefer aftermarket. Nice work though, looks good all together. Those S-techs look higher than I would have thought, my sprints are lower...

HAHAHAHAHA, I was waiting for that one! Those were put on from a previous owner, I like the mesh but the bulbs and the eyelids are the next to go!

Nice and clean, that's how I like'em!
I like it, simple, yet noticeable...
how did you get the burger out of the grill and not leaving a mark?
I like the eyelids.. gives the front a meaner look imo
Do you have any plans on lowering?

I had a little pshop fun hope u don;t mind
at least now I know what my max can look like lowered with 350Z mags.. thanks

Don't like the eye lids. If you could get crome blue bulbs then keep it. I like the white. Grill mesh doesn't bother me as much....

nice car, the eyelids bother me. They looked like they are sprayed on, on the inside lens. Not sure if its just me. The grill is decent, Rims are sexy, but aren't they staggered?

thanks for the comments guys, the eyelids are coming off soon, they were what looks like is taped on by the previous owner, as soon as I get some free time they are coming off. 18" 350z wheels are not staggered, there seems to be much confusion regarding this, both wheels are 18x8. The Z's have different size tires on front and back but the wheels are the same. I got some comments on my interior in another thread so I figured I'd post some pics of them here as well. Keep the replies coming, this is my only source of entertainment

were the seats done by the previous owner as well?

if not how much did it cost and how difficult was it to do.

The black/ p-butter combo looks lovely. The stock tan leather looks like crap.


nice rice though

Very nice.

Hmmm it doesn't look as good or big on the 350Z as on your Max. Very nice.

nice rice though
The seats were done with katzkin leather and were proffessionally installed, from what I understand the process is not that difficult, just take the old leather or cloth off and re-hog ring the new on.

The mesh is not different shades it just looks darker from a side angle therefore it looks different in the pics.

Thanks again for comments, it looks like the general consensus is to get rid of the eyelids which I had already planned on, I have considered painting the mesh black but then I think it looks good with the new wheels. Oh well, btw I was lucky enough to pick up the rims and tires for $300 shipped!!!!! how's that for a good deal
