Cool thanks Guys for the comments. I just got a 'nice car' at lunchtime today from this old lady and her husband as they walked by. My white nismo had been dirty the last week and a half and it makes a big difference after a good wash! How I wish I could lower it and do a few things to it but I cant really because its my employee lease car.
No I didnt have any say with the colors and I think there is room for improvement there. When I first started at Nissan in 02 I ordered a lemans sunset orange 350Z. That color had a ton of flop and was just eye catching and really showed off the form and lines of the car. It was iconic and was reminiscent of the orange 240Z's but done in a new way.
I like the white and the graphite and 40th colors have really nice contrast in the paint but there should be more colors in my opinion.
Also I dont know if anyone saw it but in the September issue of OCTANE magazine (big UK based magazine) there is a little article with Matsuo-san the chief designer of the 240Z and myself. It was really amazing for me to have met that man and get to spend the day with him and listening to his stories. We just got it at work the other day but if your at a Borders checking out all the car mags look for it.
And on another note I've done a few 370Z oil paintings mostly last year that I need to get some good shots of so I can share with you guys. May sound a bit juvenille but I did this bad *** one of the 370Z as megatron like the transformers 370z toy that they sell in Japan. I've been crazy busy but I promise to do that soon.....
