partial smokes, overlays or paint??

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

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! ;)

overlays

I'm doing the installation of the kick plates tomorrow afternoon. I'll be sure to post pics :)

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

btw, you might consider de-badging the rear

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

The fangs look great phelan! Very Nice! :tup:

omg, this is so nice :) will you consider on body matching those door handles too?
get back to me on this one, I would really like to see red with this mod

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! :tup: What part of OC you live in? I grew up in Garden Grove.
