I also have a silver 370z and am looking to do similar black mods, if someone can get a picture of one i would appreciate it.

Here is a 10 roadster with pearl black emblems, hyper black rays and 25 window tint it that helps.

That roadster looks very nice! I found a member who had the stock Rays powder coated black on the Brilliant silver and it looked pretty good. I think it was Rickey89?

I want to do something to make the car stand out because there are 2 other Brilliant Silver 370 around town.

The silver looks so fresh with no mods. Thought of just doing a drop (H&R springs) and spacers (20mm on all 4) on the sports.

I liked the looks of the stock model but I wanted mine to look a little mean. That is why I darkened it up. I also put on a Stillen CBE, which I love, and K40 laser defusers. I have 20mm spacers ordered and then I will be through for a while.

A can of matte black spray paint.

Taped off a ton of newspaper around the grille area, and front sides of the car as well (for overspray), it took a long time to tape it right in the nooks and crannies of the fang area.

I used a paint with a very mild rough finish. It also has 2 coats of clear sprayed over the black. I was concerned that wax would be an issue on the finish but it's just smooth enough that there is no buildup at all. I like the more aggressive look - it brings the focus right to the grille as it should.

I think Triple's and Endgame did their fangs in a nice smooth matte. Someone a while back did a DIY on this procedure but I forget who it was

may just black the fangs and rear valance out to get started and feel it out...
