Ever wondered how Platinum Graphite would look with JDM optional tails?

Really surprised so many people are not digging them.

Those clear tails just don't do it for me. The red tails look great with the Platinum Graphite. Fronts of cars have clear lights... backs of cars have red lights. Anything else is just trying too hard to be different.

It's kind of bland looking, especially on an already gray car, it would probably look better on another color. I mean, how many hot rods with chrome come in any shade of gray? I'm going to go with not many. I think it just sort of throws off the color pallet of your eye with that much gray, chrome just can't pop anymore.

We got blue or red with JDM handy? Anyone?

Agree. Would look much better on other color.

With my PG, I am going to be eliminating chrome vs adding it. I want to do the headlight mod to paint the chrome a smoke mirror and do the same to the factory tails for the little chrome there is. This gets everything to the look of the wheels and door handles. Need to find a good badge that matches to replace the chrome Nissan ones.

i like it on the white. a guy i work with his wife is japanese, trying to see if she can find some for me to order straight from japan. maybe they'll be cheaper that way than american vendors being a middle man.

RCZ · 04-15-2009, 01:59 PM

I like it on PG actually. Maybe future mod.

I like that angle shot. Hopefully we can get some confirmation in regards to pulling part tail lights. If the painted sections can be repainted in black chome, the tail lights would pwn.

Cheaper method is overlay.

Anybody notice the Z emblem instead of the Nissan Emblem?

DIGItonium · 04-21-2009, 01:46 AM

For a minute there I thought that Z got repainted with a dark graphite color... I wish Nissan offered that color (like the Altima Coupe and Maxima).

Yum... question left unanswered is whether anyone will be able to pop open these tail lights.

I've been looking for somthing like that, havnt been able to find it though.

DJcuetip · 04-25-2009, 06:14 AM

where can you get an emblem like that? and ithink these tails would look good if it was smoked.. or if all the clear was smoked out and red left alone

rreign · 04-26-2009, 02:34 PM

Someone want to do a photoshop of these on a magnetic black?

AK370Z · 04-27-2009, 12:44 AM

Here's another angle:

It doesn't look too bad, does it?

DJcuetip · 04-27-2009, 02:00 AM

i would so put this on if i can get my hands on it? you know how??... except i would bake them and paint the chrome matte black to match the rims!
