Updated Nismo
 

A few weeks ago whilst fitting my side window scoops I badly scratched my boot trim with some of the scrap mesh I had used on the scoops. I sent the trim off to be hydro dipped the same colour as my car wrap. Refitted the new trim yesterday and very pleased with the end product. Some before and after photos for you all.
Last photo is best I could get given the boot is a dark area to photo

Looks good. I would be even more worried about scratches now!

Plans to do the other plastic trims?

That's different.

Its very durable and I have no plans to put anything that may damage it in the boot. Will just be detailers and micro fibre cloths etc for car shows. In terms of doing more I may get the backs of the seats dipped in the same colour but not sure. Sometimes less is more.

Its a shame you didn't apply that logic to the the exterior of your Nismo IMHO.

Stormshite....What ?. Opinion not shared in the UK as I won best in show at a Jap Performance car show with 200 jap cars last weekend.

Pointless gibe.

I really hope you have plans on doing the entirety of the interior black plastics in the same manner. Currently, there's no uniformity whatsoever, only an abrupt color change from the cabin to the hatch area...

As for winning awards, that's neither here nor there. You'd have to show what the level of your competition was to establish a baseline.

I don't need to show the baseline. GTRS. Nismo 370z, 350z, R32/R34, 240Z/360Z,Skylines, MX5s etc etc. My car is adored in the UK. In the UK we respect what people individually decide to do to their cars.

:iagree:

How ridiculous!! :shakes head:

In the US, you're wrong if I say you're wrong, dammit!! :gtfo2:



LOL jk man... I like the hydrodip. It looks good and is unique. Personally, I would never do it to my Z. You've got some interesting stuff going on that doesn't really do it for me. But it's not my car, so more power to ya. IMO you get way too many negative comments on it. I'm glad to see you aren't stooping to their level anymore with your responses.

My point is that you don't need to try and justify your own taste by saying other people love/adore/worship/etc whatever you're doing which is something you've done just about every time someone makes a comment about your car that you disagree with. As I've said before, if you like it then that's all that matters. Beyond that, I've lived in the UK... let's not kid ourselves about a nonexistent "respect all builds" car culture, especially when StormWhite is contradicting you a few posts up.

For the record I have also lived in the US and I am married to an American. You never know I may move over there in the future and haunt you all with my car and my mods.

Think you would give a couple of them strokes. :rofl2:
