partial smokes, overlays or paint??

travisjb · 08-16-2009, 01:04 AM

looks great in red! nice work so far... keep it subtle !

Cjanik · 08-16-2009, 01:17 AM

looking good! I want to do the fang blackout and rear valance as well, it makes it look better IMO.

p.s. Get some pic's of the red kick plates I made on here!

jekel · 08-16-2009, 02:10 AM

looks awsome.....really love the red Z. After having my last car red though, sorta found that it fades a bit after 6 years so not going red this time around. Although in saying that back then i had no garage so it was outside :s

travisjb · 08-16-2009, 02:51 AM

btw, you might consider de-badging the rear

phelan · 08-16-2009, 04:14 AM

what, the nissan badge? i thought that was inset?

BanningZ · 08-16-2009, 05:26 AM

The fangs look great phelan! Very Nice!

Z'sZ · 08-16-2009, 06:45 AM

looks great

Shunya · 08-16-2009, 06:56 AM

yeah, you're right... just looked around the board and some folks found out that there is a ~1/4" inset and hole behind the nissan 'burger'... would require body work

I think having this flushed out at a body shop will be worth it.
it's a good opportunity to do so when you're doing other body work like kits.

Looking good!
