The 18's look great.

m. pint, I would strongly suggest you have your wheels painted the blue color you like, and continue to save for your new wheels. The suggestion of picking up a set of Sport or Nismo wheels is an excellent idea.

You can easily get a set of Sport wheels with tires for $1,000. Again, patience is a virtue. Be smart and you will be happier in the long run.

We don't have enough people to mess-up the Z community in Canada, you know, only Mr.GaleForce and me is not enough... :icon14:

And Mr.GaleForce being sucked into the blowjob thing recently isn't helping too... :icon14::icon14:

Apologies for coming off a little strong with the two tone comment. My only point is that it's a lot harder to reverse a painting decision. I'm just not sure the fang area would look good in any color other than flat black. I've seen them painted both silver and white and didn't care for it. Sometimes you can go a little too far in the strive to be unique/different.

But that's just me, and I certainly have no exclusive on color choice. For all the nice compliments received today, I'm sure there are a number of folks who think it looks like a clown car.

If you take your time with the prep, there is no reason not to paint your wheels yourself. Mine had two different coats of paint on them, and needed to be fully stripped, that's why I had R&S Solutions here in Houston do the work. They are fantastic to work with. :tup:

I really appreciate your input. It is concise, clearly thought out, and well explained. First, I completely understand your two-tone comment. I am concerned the light reflecting off the KAV and KAD colors next to each other might produce some strange and undesirable interactions. Here are my thoughts after all the comments so far:

( Click to show/hide )

Wheels are definitely going to be KAV. I think it looks stellar after seeing it on your GM Z :tup:

Door handles I am leaning towards color-matched (KAD). I don't think I'll do these KAV unless I really like it on the front and rear areas.

Rear diffuser I am still considering the KAV but just not sure until I see the color for myself.

Front fangs I think I am going to leave alone. However, I am going to cut out the horizontal black pieces and do a metal grill, which I will paint KAV. I also may consider painting the black plastic piece beneath the Nissan badge in KAD to match the car.

Here's how committed I currently feel about these plans:
Completely Undecided (0) to Absolutely Decided (10)
Wheels: KAV (10)
Door Handles: KAD (5)
Rear Diffuser: KAV (3)
Front Fangs: KAD with KAV grill (7)

Is the blue dark enough for you? I think it would look great :tup:

The beauty of the Metalcast is that you get a candy color effect and don't have to sand the wheels. The adhesion promoter is the key.

I'm going to paint the "Z" side marker light either all Smoke or the outer ring in Smoke and the Z in red.

I like the idea of the Z being red to match your calipers :tup:

Have you ever used or seen used the Duplicolor Shadow product?
