Styling-wise, sometimes. I try not to though. Because everybody is unique hence their taste would be different. You wouldn't like it if someone judges your car in a negative manner , would you? Some people would approach it as constructive criticism and possibly rethink about what they've done. I wouldn't. I would just keep doing what i'm doing because i would be happy with what i've created. However, if it was something mechanical, then yes. I will always take a broader perspective on something that's mechanically changed on the car as there's a wealth of information out there to take in and there might be something that somebody's done more efficiently than you. So it only makes sense that you listen, learn and take in the knowledge. That's what SAU is here for.

No. But maybe a 350Z front-end on a V35 would look good imho.

94. What would you consider the locally produced equivalent of your car?

Possibly not...

95. You are offered to pick straws, one straw will get you free mods of your choice and track time to test them, the other will see your car returned to factory standard. Would you pick straws?

Nope
