Black Fangs - Not Photoshop

Will you be doing the rear of the car? - the area around the tailpipes and foglight blank - that would finish it off nicely on a silver car, imho.

I might, depending on how well the front holds up. I really would like to get the fog light working, otherwise I read somewhere that there might be a carbon overlay that would glue on over the tail pipes and fog light.

This looks great! I'll be ordering a Z with the same color combo as yours very soon and this mod idea is surely one I will borrow... how does the paint hold up so far?

Paint is holding up great, I've got about 1000 miles on it so far, and a good bit on the hwy.

Here is a recent pic, although not a good one, of the front end after I installed the 15mm front spacers on the wheels.
You can see that the Matt coating it really more of a Satin finish.

Looks very good. I wonder how it'd look on my pearl white.. Someone care to chop it for me plz?

Looks great!! I think it'll look sweet with pearl white as well!

If I go with platinum graphite, i'm definitely doing this!

Thanks for the feedback MC1. Good to know it's holding up. Looks like you made some more modifications to the front, headlights and blacked out Nissan logo? Did you get the wheels powder coated yet? That Z is going to look mean!

Actually the lights and emblem are PShop, but I do plan on doing it at some point.
Haven't done the wheels yet either, still contemplating buying new ones, I really want to run a 305/30/19 rear and although it will fit on the 10' rim, it would be much better on an 11'

JB1 · 04-22-2009, 09:27 PM

I like the direction your going with the Z, I think "mean" is not the right word, sinister sounds more fitting... It's going to look very, very cool!

ok, so I was bored and decided to do some colors not offered by Nissan.

I kind of like the Candy Green one, maybe I'll paint mine that color, the green Z hornet :-)
Orange is good too.
