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

motoextreme · 01-18-2010, 11:04 PM

HAHAAHAHA! Cool, I'm in

Just put the hood vents back in, look a hundred times better in black....just a few little things to go

NYBladeZ · 01-18-2010, 11:27 PM

Looks like the front bumper didn't fill properly, other then that looks great man

motoextreme · 01-18-2010, 11:50 PM

Yeah, have a little bump on it, we're going to refinish that, color sand the tailights and maybe a carbon fiber motor cover to bring it all together...that is if Password JDM ever made one or not, still checking.

Oh...and the wheel caps are being painted black, need to install those. The saga continues...

TARDCORE · 01-19-2010, 01:20 PM

looks sick as hell. I love the way matte black makes something real look fake. I showed my brother the pic and he thought it was a pic from Forza.

motoextreme · 01-19-2010, 03:10 PM

Thanks brother, glad everyone likes it. Just spoke to RAW, they are really great guys as they are taking it back Friday to do some final touch ups.

The only bad thing out of all this... I almost don't want to scratch it up so I'm already leaving it home more then I thought. To my defense, its pouring out here so may as well use the SUV.

After I put that first ding or scratch in it I'm sure I'll drive the heck out of it, much like any new car. My Rover looks like hell, snowboard scratches, dings, etc, got over that one real quick

motoextreme · 01-19-2010, 03:15 PM

Question for those watching.. What do you think?

So I have the carbon A Pillars coming (hopefully) and I'm sold on putting those on but Lou showed me a carbon Body kit that he has on his Blue Z and it looks like the carbon sides are exactly the same as my nismo bodywork.

Think the carbon sideskirts that go under the doors would F up the look or ?? Phelan was thinking I should just leave the outside lips carbon and paint the upper half flat black, that sounds cool too.

Granted he's not sure he can buy just the sides, suppose I could buy the whole set from him and part out the front carbon pc and the fin but not sure what it costs.

Any thoughts??

you know what you're right, they might not have made one. could've sworn i saw one a while back, but the website says otherwise lol. glad to hear the black paint worked out on that mesh in the vents, less home-depot-esque! haha

i'd comment on your last request for suggestions, but looks like you already know where i stand

theDreamer · 01-19-2010, 03:30 PM

I think password JDM just did those three pieces and that is it, I think Bullit was working with a company to make an engine cover but that feel through. I was just thinking of painting mine black with a red accent outlining NISSAN.

motoextreme · 01-19-2010, 03:40 PM

There were a bunch of threads from Double Down where they were working with Password on it but nothing after that...

Andrew, yep, know where you stand but I have to be careful with your opinions. Don't want to you throw me under the bus so your car looks better...HAHAHAHA That Amuse kit is going to be sick! Regardless of what some of the feedback was, its the best one yet. HURRY!!

LOL dammit you caught me!

I'm hurryin', I'm hurryin'!!!! Once it's all done I'll be able to park next to your car at meets without feeling terrible

Phelan, you need to update your journal with what your plans so we can get excited.

phelan · 01-19-2010, 03:50 PM

but i'm too busy drooling in here

jmlenz · 01-19-2010, 03:54 PM

OK sickest Z on the forum so far...there I said it!

motoextreme · 01-19-2010, 06:55 PM

Now THAT's a compliment! Phelan, the bar has been raised man...come on now!!! I'm taking out another Credit card ordering Turbo's, Superchargers, a Titanium Frame, Carbon Fiber EVERYTHING! You'll never catch me!

Kidding...does sound cool though. I built a carbon gsxr in my shop, every bolt was Ti, full Ti exhaust, carbon tank, every part imaginable. Only to wreck it on the 60 FWY a few months later

My back is all scar tissue from that damn day. Bright side is I parted it out and still recovered my $ and then some, think I pulled in almost $25K when it was all said and done. SCAR is forever though unfortunately.

motoextreme · 01-19-2010, 06:56 PM

PS. Supercharger to push the air in and turbo to pull it back out, going to have crazy HP
