I’m glad you asked that question!

Let’s talk about wings. No, not on airplanes!!!

Guys around here drive ricers with HUGE wings
on the trunk.

Looks terrible. icon_sad.gif

You mean like the cars that fly? Or is this just for looks?

Any and all thoughts regarding any kind of automobile.

Some have air dams, spoilers, hoods, skirts, mirrors, interior accesories, etc.

What is your take Epicurus?

I’m still deciding. I just got a GREAT deal on a 350Z.
I’d like to customize it a little so it doesn’t look OEM. But since I’m an old guy I want to do it in a sutble but tasteful way. I don’t want anyone to think I a sreet racer, though. Interior accents might be nice….

Definately not like the pix below….

They are for looks, but they are toooooo big.

Here’s a photo. Sorry that it’s so big. It was the first
one that I saw in Google………

That is too big!! icon_eek.gif The different between subtile and intrusive!!! I like them if the add to the car without distracting you from the rest of the vehicle – that is too far overboard

All of that stuff looks great, if it’s tastefully done.

For example………. There is a Ford F-150 around here
that has custom air scoops in the hood.

It looks nice but the guy has a construction-type of cap
on the bed. The hood sccops don’t look right with that
cap, so it makes the truck look worse than it should.

When you say carbon fiber I have to think of fiberglass
because that’s what was used in my era!!!

Agreed. The car would look much better with a simple spoiler. There are lots of kids with cars like this in CA.

And that’s exactly the type of junk that always goes past my house!

Add to that the loud round ricer muffler and the 1″ profile tires
and it’s ready for the dumpster.

They could really make those ricers look nice with subtle changes
and a good paint job.

I’ve been seeing a lot of full size pick-up trucks with those 1″ tires
and they look like ****!!!

Hit just one pothole and bye-bye $1,000. icon_sad.gif

EDIT………….. All of this is just my opinion!

I always express my opinion.

Free Kool-Aid at The Pub and free pizza here. I’m happy!!!

I’m thinking of doing something like this to my Silver Chrome (same as pix) 350z. The thing I’m mostly concerned about is the carbon fiber hood. Does it make the car look too aggressive? What are your thoughts on the other carbon fiber accessories too?

[Garibaldi]

What does the original grill look like? The new one looks kind of like a razor. I don’t think its too aggressive, I just wouldn’t want to stick my head in front of it, I’d probably go bald! Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif
