Yeah, I'm probably going to do the headlight mod like Lou did over at Amplified. Just not sure about the LED's yet. I'm thinking of doing the mirrors too, then when I get the wheels powder coated it will all come together nicely.

that right there is MC approved. :D matches the under spoiler very well. gives it an aggressive look. i would do this to my 370 if i had one. i cant get over how much better that looks just by breaking up the front section colorwise. it looks like its supposed to be like that from the start.

id like to see this on the lighter silver with matching flat black sports package wheels!!!


but no way i would try it myself. ive F'ed up so many things trying to wet sand even little scratches out of my cars. but on my old nismo S-tune car i did sand and paint the center part of the grill where to tow hook goes flat black and it came out ok but the lines wernt 100% straight. so yours looks damn good for a DIY

we would definitely need a DIY for that, like what oven temps and what casserole dishes we should use...lol... it's really not that easy as it sounds... :icon14:

Looks great! Makes the front end look even more aggressive.

Great work MC1! Also, can you fill us in on the license plate holder bumper plugs as Bumper Plugs were too small to fit (unless the dealer had drilled smaller holes and did not use the supplied anchors to place your holder?). Thanks.

Great work, not 100% I would do this, but it does add an aggressive look to the car. Wonder how other color cars will look with this done, red/white/blue/etc.

You could get something like Venture Shield applied to protect the paint.

Nice job.

MC 03-29-2009 10:07 PM

ya good thinking i bet it is gonna be prone to chip without a clear coat. but once you put that venture sheild on that spray paint. its gonna pull it off if he ever takes it off.

RCZ 03-29-2009 10:29 PM

Yeah thats the big thing too. Rocks are going to demolish that part of the bumper :(

Wow that looks awesome, and I agree with the black headlights housing, that'd pull the front together nicely.

So-Cal,

I used Body-Tite #45890 (Pep Boys) plugs. At first,they don't seam like they will fit, but you just have to muscle them in with your thumb, and it's no problem.

Yes, I agree. I found some Rustoleum Matt Clear Coating, I'm going to try it on a separate piece of plastic, and if it works, I'll put it on the fangs next weekend :tup:

Agreed along with the headlights. Those painted door handles on some Red Z look good too.

I'd probably do this to any other colors except Pearl White and Black of course. Hopefully Nissan will offer a White without Pearl in it.
