Updated Nismo

PAYCO

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!

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.

StormWhite

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

JiujitsuGuy

Pointless gibe.

PAYCO

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.

StormWhite

Just realised how rude you actually are.

First time I have revisited this thread.

I went to Japfest Silverstone 2019 as an exhibitor didn't see you there, must have been 200+ GTR's and Z's not including everything else?

PAYCO

You should have asked around on our stand as everyone knows me. I was on business in the USA so couldn't attend. Maybe you should try being more active on the UK site although I did see you get slaughtered on there for your posts before.

StormWhite

Just to put all this into context, I enjoyed the monthly meets for breakfast with some great people but when it came to the UK Forum things were a little different.

The only seriously active thread at the time was about a Porsche 911 owner (previously a Z owner) posting about his CHEAP BMW Mini Cooper S Supercharged renovation.

I read this thread with interest and considered buying one myself in a similar condition.

I posted that the "Cheap" purchase had become an expensive one after numerous essential but then superfluous upgrades.

This was not met with approval by other long time Forum members who rallied around the long time member & poster, so I left and now I only post on this Forum.

I miss the breakfast meets and the people I actually met from the Forum but:

Perhaps we can leave it at that and just accept I personally believe you have ruined a great car.

NorthStyle

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.

PAYCO

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.

How ridiculous!!

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



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.
