New (to me!) 2010 Nismo

Zerosum · 10-16-2012, 02:57 AM

Well I pulled the trigger and traded in my 2007 GLI for a 2010 370z Nismo. I think I got a pretty great deal both on the trade and on the buy.

I am in love with my car. I want to do some work on it. I'm getting the tint done next week to get some black on black action.

I'm thinking about some really understated but elegant modifications. Maybe a thin red stripe along the upper sides, not sure yet. I don't have the greatest designer's eye. I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me find some inspiration or suggestions on where to take this. I want to make this car special.

What do you think?

Please no stripes, pinstripes, stickers or whatever. It looks cheap and takes away from the Nismo look.

Good luck with your nismo fun cars

If you absolutely have to change the look of a Nismo, go with a quality set of wheels and maybe some lowering springs for a more aggressive stance.

All other money should be spent on performance mods, IMHO.

MAYBE lower it, and only do performance mods.

DEpointfive0 · 12-02-2012, 07:07 PM

Just detail the crap out of it, make that black, the deepest shiniest black imaginable

I so disagree...silver racing stripes from the hood to the rear bumper!

J/k! Congrats and enjoy!

No on the pinstripes, but it wouldnt look bad if you got your rims painted black or dark grey.
