who remenbers the ruined 350Z.
for those of you that remember (and others who are interested) the saga of the 350Z butchered by a bodyshop in the states.
this is the update of what it now looks like and the outcome of the courtcase.
p.s. to see what it looked like in its original butchered state, look for the pics early on in the thread.

God it's hard to wad through all that American shite talking but if anyone wants to know he got awarded $5500 and meanwhile he's had a
professional make a mess of the car! 19" low profile tyres that don't even look the correct width for the wheel. I bet he gets enormous
tye scrub when he's driving and the suspension must be granite. Rubbish before, rubbish afterwards!

Yeah, but that'd have been expressing his aesthetic opinion of it.
Whereas what needed to be expressed was the fact that it's obviously gonna handle like shite with those wheels on, it being lowered so much and
the suspension having much less travel.
Oh yeah, I think it's looks awful too

i think it looks good too blake, they aren't his wheels (photo taken only for a "for sale" ad) and hes running far less neg camber
now.
i think it fulfils its role as a poser car.

 I could have done the initial mods using a hammer, drill, screwdriver, saw and sacrificial wheelie-bin!

Am I looking at the wrong thing or is this about someone rather ameteurishly putting far-too-big wheels on it?

you need to go to page 1 to see the initial damage done by the bodyshop.
just reiterate, the wheels in that pic are not his.
