Default Ideas for a black NISMO

Hey guys just lookin at some exterior mods at this point as im done with all of my performance mods for now. When I bought the car I loved gold gts rims on the black 370z and thats what i was gonna go for but since then i have fallen in love with my forged rays so i dont think im gonna go with the gts anymore...what do you guys think about powder coating the nismo rims gold and going with 18% tint all around? I messed around with photoshop for a bit and this is what I came up with for my final goal if you will. Im still thinking about getting my headlights taken apart and painted. But anyways...

This is the cars current state:



And this is future state thx to photoshop:

Powder coat the wheels black, black handles, black emblems and customized headlights (black housings, dual orbs, etc). Love the all black look on the black Nismo. Looks mean

I think the gold wheels would look pretty good and maybe you could incorporate it in more of the car. If you do the headlights maybe you could paint the housing black and paint the plastic around the projector gold. Idk how the handles would look gold, but maybe you can do the emblems gold and the handles black.

They make gold plastidip in cans now - you could go that direction for the wheels to see if you like it without the permanent/expensive change painting or powdercoating would be.

That would be a great idea to see how it really looks and to see if you wanted something permanent with actually having them painted.

True ill look up gold plasti dip but i doubt it would give as good an effect as paint so i wouldnt want to be turned off by it.

Per alot of suggestions i modeled a blacked out nismo with red trim and red underglow (Just for fun) and i think it looks pretty darn good to be honest, Great suggestions!!!

No red underglow LED's. We don't drive civics haha. The all black is awesome though. Looks great. I definitely like this a lot more than the gold member look.

Where are you going to get CF B pillars from?

LED's can definitely be done classy haha. My brother in law is an electrical engineer and he specializes in LED lighting and uses pulse width modulation control. Some of his set ups are sick!

problem is ricers screw up everything.

Here It is with a carbon fiber vinyl wrap on the lower parts of the body kit (and no LED's ). Looks similar to the 2014 model. After looking closer at them at the dealer, its just a dark gun metal vinyl nissan puts on them.

Just powder coat your wheels, well worth the investment. And keep vinyl wrap to a minimum, less=more

I still love the all black look. Everything black looks amazing. The two tone look on the 2014's vs all black. I would take all black in a heartbeat. There's a guy on here who's car is like that and it looks phenomenal.
