Re: 350Z Worst Wing Ever!!!!
I'm fine with 3D GT Wings if they're properly sized & mounted and they suit the car, neither is true in this case. The mounting looks bad and the wing even looks like it's crooked in one of the images, but I haven't snapped up any rulers in Photoshop to check.
It just looks like someone slapped a bunch of parts on the car without having a plan. The original pedals have been swapped out for a cheap looking aftermarket set even though the OEM pedals are higher quality. To add insult to injury they didn't even use a set that had a matching dead pedal (or didn't bother to mount it). I doubt the hatch struts were upgraded to support the added weight of the batwing, they should have been upgraded even without the wing for added dependability in the cold Colorado temperatures. I check a few Japanese tuning sites pretty regularly but I must have missed something about the mismatched taillights, is that a rear foglight area on the Z33? It's obviously a base model (based on the non-Homelink rearview mirror) so a better (read: functional) place to spend the money would be the brake system instead of all the added weight from the bad aero stuff. They add some Nissan stickers to the base calipers though, I wonder how they hold up to the heat. Top all of this off with a bad pop station on one of the stereo presets and it's a no-buy.
Check Sluggo's car and you'll understand that it's all in the details.
That goes for looking at one to buy as well as putting together your own.
