I'd lose the mirrors and the hood vents at the very least. That'll move you away from the rice category.

Personally, nope. I'm not a fan of vented hoods in any form, and put the mirrors back, get some ganadors if you want a different look.

With all jokes aside. Side mirrors aren't located on the fender now-a-days for plenty of reasons. So functionality/reliability is -1. And as for the hood, I sure hope you modded it so that you don't get water in there. Functionality/reliability is now at -2.

So no, not nice.

My first thought exactly. Not very tasteful, hardly nice.

Dude I like it. The hood vent is a total throwback to the (IICR) 78' 280Z! And I'm not sure why, but I like the hood spacers. Oh and the beer koozie master cylinder cover lol!

You must like the miller light water reservoir too then ") The gauge behind my turbo is exhaust temp/baby heat shield.


I got this car as a shell 2 years ago. It has come a long way eventually will be my mad max drift car.

personally I am most bothered by the center of the hood being black. Other than that the car has personality. I may be biased because I have always hated racing stripes and the like.

Also if its two tone, can't quite tell, but yeah don't like that either. I am purist when it comes to two-tone coupes.

hmm, its aight. I really dont like cowl style hoods on imports and the mirrors have to go. Other than that I kinda like it. The second pics are way better and looks better than before.

I'll give you an honest opinion: i don't think the vent flows with the hood very well, nor do the mirrors on the car. The mirrors take away from the pop-ups, and make the front end "busy". The black spot on the hood also does not flow. Maybe with some sort of Silvia head lights, the mirrors could work.
