I saved this pic from awhile ago but forgot who's it was.
To whomever's car this is, I am sorry for posting it without your approval, and will remove it right away if you would like.

edit: I just realized youre talking about a stripe in a different location. But I'll keep this post up anyways.

powdercoat or paint your calipers yellow. If I go to the 370z platform from my 350z, I wanted white with yellow sport brakes! It really makes a huge difference to have some color in there.

yeah gunmetal is just great ....I have them on my car. Black wheels is a new trend, even people with civics are powdercoating black and they add the red racing strip "guaranteed to make a car run 10 hps faster" lol

agreed!! Gunmetal is still bright enough to seperate the tire from the wheel. Keeping exterior mods to a minimum on 370z is key....Im seeing a lot of z's on here that are sooooooo civic-y

Hey guys sorry I haven't been keeping y'all up to date, but I went with a glossy satin black. I think they turned out pretty well.
