I think that's the first time I've seen matte blue and white. Very nice! Especially the blue.

Is it more expensive to do a matte color than gloss?

Yeah, I said that on another post. I really F'd up not buying a black car. Painting my jambs is what makes this paint job so much much more $$. Stupid me.

The lambo had 2000 miles on it and the clutch fried on the way home. Had to flatbed it back to the dealer and blocked their driveway with it until they refunded my deposit

It was a Godsent anyway, anyone can afford an exotic if you finance them long enough like i did, its the damn maintenance that kills you! I'll never do it again...much better to look at then own. My neighbor's dying to sell his F430 and he's out 170,000 in new years..insane huh? That's what you get when you buy a car at the Wynn Casino

There's a place in Newport Beach that only does exotics, its called woodside credit and they go 120 months. They need 25 percent down but do it at really cheap rates.

Bad thing is if you dont keep it your out all the sales tax. My ferrari was 30K down and only 1100 a month or so but I bought it for 160K with tax and solid it for 115 5 months later. That plus about 12K in repairs on a car with under 1500 miles.....I will NEVER own another Exotic except maybe a porsche

Makes me sick to think about it, I could of almost paid my Z off. Met a guy at the show today, said he aspires to own a Ferrari...I said your better off with a GTR, its faster anyway.

You know, I never thought about this, but matte white is extremely sexy too.

Default Nismo is in the SHOP

I pulled the trigger! Despite some positive and neg input, car is IN THE PAINT SHOP!! When I get it back it will have a new color, powder coated wheels, lights all redone with some angel eye LED's, some type of door handle mod, badges in Black and maybe a few other little options.

Next update....Hopefully first of the year or VERY shortly after. Wish me luck!

yeah id say you paint the car, the matte would look awesome. I would recommend Angry Panda Fabrications, they painted the "ruined z", amazing color!. Pictures of the car are all over my350z and zilvia.
