Talk me out of painting my Nismo...or NOT?

Need some pics in the sun!

Trips · 01-17-2010, 01:49 PM

Hey Adam, and Andrew sorry I missed you guys! I got to drinking with my Brother, and I couldn't risk driving, will meet at next month's meet.

LOU@AMPLIFIED · 01-17-2010, 03:03 PM

Still working on the other pictures but here's some of Adams Batmobile. Now I'm thinking about repainting my G. The pictures don't do justice, this car looks great in person. Ask Zero and Phelan

I'll be posting pictures of the coils and brakes. Unfortunately by the time we got done, it was too dark so some of the pictures was too dark.

Thank you motoextreme for spending the whole afternoon/night with us. It was a pleasure meeting you

Pretty wicked man.

Nice Pics Lou!

LOU@AMPLIFIED · 01-17-2010, 03:21 PM

FRONT AND REAR ROTORA ROTORS INSTALLED, FRONT BREMBO 6 POT CALIPER with Steel braided lines. More pictures to come

Triples, we missed you yesterday

Trips · 01-17-2010, 03:23 PM

Yea, I missed you guys, got to partying and got carried away.

motoextreme · 01-17-2010, 04:04 PM

Thanks Lou! It was really cool hanging out so late. I'm staying in touch with you brother. Your dedication is out of this world! You're guys work through the night and don't stop until its done, I'm very impressed.

I'll take a couple pics of it right now with the gold off of it and in its new lowered stance, I love this car! Driving it home last night was such a pleasure, not so stiff and much quieter in the cabin not to mention unbelievable brakes. Living in a canyon makes driving home a blast

On another note, really fun hanging out with the guys...wife stayed busy at the mall so it worked out perfect. Going to tackle the grills this week, lay a coat of primer and just paint them myself, shouldnt be all too hard.

Taking some pics soon, looks 100 times better without the stripes.

phelan · 01-17-2010, 05:07 PM

Adam I was running around Carbon Canyon today to see if you were out playing with the car, but no joy, hahahahaha

This car is absolutely SICK in person, especially once the gold pinstripes came off

. Amazing work!

motoextreme · 01-17-2010, 05:27 PM

Bummer, wife just went for a spin with me. She's loving it

So here's the final pics guys. Pretty much done other then Turbo's or an SC and a little touch up which I'll work on over the next week or so.

I really owe thanks to Scott at Fontana, Josh at Stillen, Marco and Ryan at MRWORKS, Tony at Fast Intensions, AE Performance, guys at 370Z Source, Corner 3, GT Motoring and pretty much all the part suppliers that shipped me everything so quick!

Most of all though, thanks to all the guys on the BOARD that bought my parts so quick to minimize the hit $ wise by buying my OEM stuff!

Saving the best for last, Mike and Brian at RAW for the paint and dealing with my constant pushing

and of course my new buddy...

LOU at Amplified, I promise you will not be disappointed!!! Honest deals, quick turnaround and one of my favorite places to spend a day hanging out...wheels, brakes, suspension, Audio, this guy has one hell of an operation and worth the drive no matter where you live, you'll be blown away at the work ethic, I know I was!

I'm still here, time to mess with the Roadster now and look forward to hanging out at future events, let the fun begin!

And the verdict is....

DannyGT · 01-17-2010, 05:38 PM

Looks much better! Very slick all around. Good luck with it...

MMMM Maybe its time for me to get the Zele kit and go satin black as well.

RCZ · 01-17-2010, 05:52 PM

Looks cool, but there's something about it that's bothering me and I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe the shiny hood and mirrors on the matte car or the wheels or the ride height...I dont know.

Looks bad *** though. Very cool moto!

motoextreme · 01-17-2010, 05:56 PM

Can't go too much lower, its already a little tough with driveways but still all the way driveable, need to buy a couple of the plastic under pieces as I'm sure I'll wear through them pretty quick.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but if looks great in person. I'm glad we didnt go all Satin black, gloss breaks it up a little.

Thanks for the compliments though

SeeyaBud86 · 01-17-2010, 08:02 PM

Car looks amazing, very good job. It looks much better w/o the gold pinstriping =P
