New mods/ miss my 8

So I sold my rx-8 over the summer, and my old man ended up giving me his 350z which he never drove. Just started to mod it, with a drop, wheels, and exhaust. Lemme know what you guys think.

Installed a new single tip exhaust after that shoot and rolled my back bumper

Not crazy about the exhaust, hate that fart can stuff, but the rest of the car is clean as hell.

Also not a great fan of the overstated exhaust outlets, but the car overall looks good. Nice and not over the top.

Car looks very clean but the exhaust is just rubbing me the wrong way.

Like the color, but can't decide what I like more... the 8 or Z...

The 8 was way cleaner... and I think I lean towards the 8. I'm just not into the rims I guess...

But other than that, I like it.

Thanks! replaced the stock springs for tien basic damper coilovers. Could have gone lower, but I had to dd the 8 and az roads aren't too great

the exhaust grows onto people, like it did to me, not everyones taste, but I like it. Not a rice sound, its a deep, throaty sounding exhaust.

I was planning on that! I've had the wheels and drop for about 3-4 months now, and i just recently put on the exhaust so i put up some old pictures and a new one

just Tanabe gf210 lowering springs right now. Looking to get a more agressive set of wheels in march or april. Some volks or works, and then I'll get coilovers along with those.

I was going to buy a 300zx for about 3k, but then my dad gave me his Z, what else was I going to say!

Yeah I love it a lot, but it lacks a nice interior, and it doesn't handle anywhere near an 8.
