That is one clean Z. I would have had the exhaust tips a little farther out though. I can just imagine wiping the bumper down after driving a while.

Pretty sure the car is not Hoebag's.

To me.....MEH........Buying the easiest bolt ons and slapping them on does not a car make!

so.. if you looked at any other car on this site with wheels or suspension or anything that bolts on.. which is pretty much every part, it doesnt make a nice car? theres a really big hole in your logic

I think it looks pretty good besides the wing, and even though it is not a VIP platform they styled it pretty close to VIP.

It does still look sporty though.

Bolt on VIP...yes, no time was spent thinking about customizing what was purchased, they just slapped on what was given to them right out of the bag.

Here's an idea. Get rid of those nasty Z door handles! Drop it to the floor, and stuff the rims!

VIP is about personalizing what you have purchased, rolling/cutting/pulling fenders to stuff wheels under. Adding or deleting lights here and there, making the interior as plush as possible, and various other mods to separate your car, from any other person that might happen to buy the same exact kit/wheels/junk as you...

This is what I'm talking about fellas...

youre taking an extreme view on vip, there are also executive vip cars which have very conservative body kits and relatively conservative wheel fitments

i do agree that the car could be so much better, but this car was built within a short period of time from what i know.. he didnt get the chance to finish it since it was sold off. if youve seen the green s2k's (the one in the background) interior, its all fiberglass and very well thought out. im sure, given the time, the 350z would be just as amazing

1. a new 26k car can't be VIP
2. A car that is not a "big body" or executive saloon, cannot be VIP
3. JDM mods, do not make VIP!! Just b/c its WALD or whomever, does not make is VIP.

VIP is being abused like JDM and even "donk". Donk is only supposed to be a Caprice Classic, its not every old car on 26"s that is lifted.

Nice, I think it can do without the wing though.
