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

How were the recesses for the emblem filled? Looks great.

iceman21_23 · 01-16-2010, 02:53 AM

looks sick - the pinstripe but wow do i love that paint!

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 02:59 AM

I believe the rear was plastic welded but the front was filled and to be honest it bubbled a little so we're going to have to take another stab at that one. Apparently its a bit of a pain in the a$$ to get rid of the badges but worth it for me anyway

holy. freaking. crap.

NICE adam, puts my car to shame easy. see ya at the next meet! (i swear i'll be there this time lol)

ctzn · 01-16-2010, 03:08 AM

Damn looks great man! Look forward to more pics

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 03:20 AM

Yeah right Phelan...you have so much carbon you have to tie your car down when its windy!

I'm at Amplified from 2PM to 6PM tomorrow if anyone feels like grabbing a burger, I'll buy! They need the car for about 4 hours to wrap up their stuff. I was going to do the shifter, knob etc myself but since they have it apart anyway may as well just knock it out..

Brembo's, Short Shifter, Knob, Coilovers, Rotors....guess it takes a while. Darn, I have to spend a few hours at a Tune Shop, poor me

I'll see if I can drop by, and say Hi to you and Lou...

Marco_xyz · 01-16-2010, 05:36 AM

Wow Adam, looks just as great as I imagined it would!!

Great job man, the stealth lights look awesome as well, I am going to shave off my landing strip dimples as well.

RCZ · 01-16-2010, 08:44 AM

holy ****.

HKYStormFront · 01-16-2010, 09:44 AM

looks sinister, take some better pics today!!!

CBRich · 01-16-2010, 10:15 AM

Looks great. The carbon fiber showing through and the pinstripe are perfect for giving it a finished look rather than a "I primered my car and will paint it one day" look.

radio5boro · 01-16-2010, 10:48 AM

it looks really sick so far, but i would change the gold pinstripe to black like you said, give it a way more stealthier look, the gold just looks a little out of place. can't wait to see the good pictures though!

NYBladeZ · 01-16-2010, 10:51 AM

looks great man , congrats
