Here are some pics of my Prelude taken about 3 months ago and then some pics of my 1 week old 2003 350z Enthusiast and finally one more pic of the Prelude in full stock form.

Finally The Stock Prelude

if you look in the background you can see a Gunmetal Supra with Bronze Volk TE37's and also a new Turbo Neon.
If you say so.
You don't have to apologize. Opinions are just that. I personally think the 350z is in a whole different class. I love the Prelude, but I had to make a step up. In 1 week of owning the car I've gotten more attention from it then 5 years of owning the Prelude. Attention being in the form of girls, mind you...
So what are your plans for the 350Z? I must say that the lude did look really nice. But I'm sure if you mod with the same taste your Z will look really hot too!
I'm not arguing that the Prelude didn't look good. But stock for stock the 350z is just a lot more to work with.
I'll probably just go basic at first, I already ordered some JDM smoked side markers to get rid of that orange. Next I'll install my Alpine deck, get a 10" Fosgate and Infinity 6.5's to replace the stock speakers. After that I'll start with a Tein street setup and then some 18's. I can't decide between Silver or Gunmetal.
Then I'll go for performance, AEM/Injen Intake, Borla Dual Exhaust setup. Then hopefully there will be more to choose from. Basically it's the same way I modded the Prelude.
in like 2 years, i bet you would get more attention in that nice ass sc lude you had then a silver 350z. ive seen so many, and imagine two years from now...everyone who wants a sports car is gonna go for the 350z.
In 2 years the 350 won't look anywhere near stock. Plus I'm not saying it's an exotic, but not everyone and their mother can shell out $30k+ for a car. You all see my Prelude in it's best form vs. a stock from the factory car. I don't think there is much of a difference between the two and I see massive potential from the 350z. In 2 years that Prelude would have been 8 years old and had over 100k miles.
I'm also tired of the Honda world. Driving a modified Honda got me the wrong kind of attention. Only 16 year old guys and the police paid attention to it...
nice color choice and ride. the enthusiast model is a great buy.
Thank You!!! You were my first positive comment. I was just proud of my new car.

did you have to pay msrp?
After over 2 hours of debate, I got the dealer down to $1000 off msrp. Multiple threats to walk out the door seemed to work the best. I don't think I did bad for my first time buying a car.
I like Z's! Everytime I drive my friends I don't want to get back in my 'lude. I do like the looks of my car better, but that'll change after he gets the full nismo kit.
Hey, that's definitely a step up. put a base lude next to a base nissan and they both look a little bland. no doubt about it, your lude was hot...I've always liked it's look...simple but aggressive, but once you get a move on with the 350, there will be no looking back...congrats!

Thanks!! I plan to keep the same type of look going with the 350z, thats just my style in cars. I'm sure by the end of the Summer the 350 will be well on it's way.

At certain angles I think the 350z looks similar to the Prelude. It's just more rounded. Even though I haven't gotten to open it up yet, I can tell it's got great power. I just have fun driving it around and shifting under 4k.
i think the 350z has a lot more potential than with the lude. that one greddy turbo kit puts down over 400 to the wheels. thats a very good platform to start modifying from.
and as he said, stock for stock the 350z is 100x better looking.
