the worst part is the side skirts, the rest of it doesn't seem to vary from the orginal styling too much. I could do without the graphics and the wheels though.
looks like an audi with wheels and a body kit and a nissan badge

It looks kind of like a 911 from the side.

Veilside's specialty is turning a car into a turd.

Looks nothing like an Audi. The only similarities are the vaguely bulbous body shape that Nissan ripped off from the TT.
Nissan took Bauhaus design ideas and mutilated them with their typical trendy japanese stylization. The 350Z looks like ass in person. And that picture is even worse than a regular Z. They took what was already a turd and turned it into a chrome plated turd.
(Note: I'm not discounting the fact that it has a pretty nice engine.)

i like the 350z. It does have some odd body lines, but overall I like it.

Have you seen it in person?...Much more awkward looking than it comes across in pictures.

ok, I think Its cool. I dont like the graphics but the kit is nice.
Veilside tunes 220mph skylines. Thats not really a turd. They wind tunnel test everything they make, for aerodynamic efficiency. The kits help at high speed. They also make titanium exhausts and stainless turbo manifolds.

Ok, so they make fast turds, either way....all their body kits look like total ass. Ooohh titanium exhaust and SS turbo manifolds.....they must be good :roll: :P

The worst part about the car is the rims. What were they thinking?

I don't think that's true. Have you ever seen the kit for the S2000. It's disgusting. It also cost $2,400.00.

I actually don't think it looks that bad. I've never been a fan of veilside's stuff but the 350z is one of their better looking projects, especially compared to their 300zx, that thing was hideous. I thought the 350z looked like ass when I first saw it, but it's grown on me quite a bit. And yet, I have seen it in person.
For the S2k... I'd take the side skirts... But, the front and the rear would have to go...

the wheels on the 350 look like VIP sedan wheels, not sportscar wheels.
I think the s2k kit looks good, but i wouldnt get it if it were my car. There are too many of them running around anyway.
THose kits arent even that crazy, compared to others in the jp.

You don't see that many S2k's running around compared to Boxter's and TT's. Oh, and Z3's. It's the rarest in its class. Do you not agree?
The S2K kit is UGLY!

I think the Millenium body kit for the S2000 is nice. It looks alot better in person, especially in White.
The 350Z is definately going to take some getting used to. It seems to be that way with alot of cars recently. I didn't really like the 5th gen preludes with the "refrigerator box on wheels" type look, but I like it now. I guess it just takes time to get used to it.

I personally think the 350Z looks awesome. I was kinda iffy at first until I actually saw it in person and I must say it changed my view of it. On the road it freaking looks bad ass.

I like it, but then again I'm a riceboy so what do I know. I got a chance to take a look at one in person the other day. A coworker and I were out doing some claims, and we didn't feel like going back to the office, so we stopped by the Nissan dealership.

okay... i dunno how to post quotes and stuff
but somewhere along the line... someone said... i think it looks like a 911
well isnt that kinda good... because i mean..the whole reason for people trying to add spoilers and stuff is because they want it to be more aerodynamic
and well i think the 911 is fairly aerodynamic
so i think that if you think that it looks like a 911
veilside did a good job

I think a company with a reputation like Veilside's worked hard to make their cars look different from other cars on the road. Also, just because a car looks neat does not make it aerodynamic. On another note, I've never met someone who put a non-factory spoiler on a street car to make it more aerodynamic, somehow I think cosmetics come in to play first. Track cars are another story.

I really like the new mr2's with like the 11 piece vielside kit on it. It fixes a lot of the lines that I dont care for on the new mr2s.
