370Z Nismo 2011 (OEM Black or Wrap) you're choice.

2011 Nismo#91 · 07-21-2021, 05:56 AM

So earlier this year I was in a small accident and needed to replace my bumper and hood. My car is wrapped as below.

Problem is for about 2 months now I have been searching for the overlaminate and no one has it in stock besides a few small sample pieces. (KPMF Starlight Pacific Blue Gloss Overlaminate K71303).
So I think if I can't get it in another few weeks I am left with two options either go back to stock which is black, or try something new. Looking for some suggestions on something that stands out a bit but not too crazy (neons or chromes). I really like the Lexus reds and blues.

What do you think would look best?

I was driving behind a black TLX yesterday, that someone had spent an inordinate amount of time on paint correction for. It was gorgeous, and I usually am not impressed with black cars.
Right now, I'm suggesting to go back to the original paint. (Of course, I'll probably have a different opinion later, lol.)

Original paint.

His car lives on the track, no?

For that, not sure a flawless black is feasible.

For that, and not taking cost into consideration, I say rewrap.

Thanks for the replies so far. The Z is less of a track rat these days, nor do I think it will ever be a winning show car. Original black would be the cheapest option only about 500-750 to remove. Not looking to spend a huge amount on the wraps which means no chrome or dual layer wraps.
