Blacked Out Z
 

I finally saved enough to get the wheels powdercoated matte black, the door handles painted black pearl, and the tail lights spray tinted black. I'm really pleased with the results. Update: The intakes and the custom blackened headlights from MR Works are completed and so are the landing strip LEDs along with the Angel Eye LEDs and the Green Monster Demon Eyes.

Good stuff, however I like only a few stuff you did especially the tail lights.

Crappy pictures, but the car looks great! :tup:

I debated vinyl tint overlays but opted to spend the extra money to get them looking great and never having to worry about peeling or anything. They did turn out awesome!

Very nice Jon! Guess I'm gonna have to "white out" my Roadster now....:icon17:

Now you just need to add the Carbon Fiber front & back Z medallions (Z Store) -- after (of course) you do your Exhaust Tips.....:icon17:

Seriously, she looks VERY NICE!

You are traveling tomorrow right? Back for our final pre-CruiZ (an AAM Grand Re-Opening) on the 15th?

Thanks, I kicked myself for leaving my decent camera sitting on the dining room table before I left today. I'll get some much better ones on the 15th at the AAM Competition Open House.

Thanks Steve, I was really happy when I picked her up. Had to drive through Friday afternoon traffic though from D and V to AAM Comp to drop her off again to have them install the intakes and headlights. But I did get a walk through of the work space at AAM Competition. Yes, I'm on travel tomorrow morning so won't be at tomorrow's coffee meet. I'll probably be picking the Z up at the Open House on the 15th.

Safe travels, see ya next weekend.

very nice looking Jon!

Looks good!

Looking good!

can u take a better pic of ur handles? i wanna see how it looks. i really hate how the handles smudge up so easily.:shakes head:

I won't have access to it until next week (at the shop for additional mods) but I will post some better pics at that time.

Thanks! Marco and Ryan are working the headlights and I'll hopefully have them in by the end of next week. I'm really looking forward to seeing them on my Z.

Looking good! Can't wait to check it out next Saturday!

Congrats jon, good stuff!:tup:

:iagree:

Nice job.....car really looks good.

:worship:

Hey Jon...looks like I won't be going to ZCon.....personal and business schedule:facepalm:

What shop is that?

The photos were taken at AAM Competition in Annapolis Junction, MD which is where I was dropping the Z off at. D and V autobody in Dulles, VA did the wheels, handles, and taillights.

So you're picking it up this Saturday?

Is that license plate in reference to the Big Bang Theory? "Bzingu" - Sheldon Cooper

It all depends on when AAM gets the headlights from MR Works. I may have to pick it up on Saturday but they know I want it earlier if possible.

No, its just the old saying when you would depart after visiting with someone and you'd say, "Be seeing you".

looks great! The headlights are going to look awesome on there, wait til you see the smoked and gloss we did... made a world of a difference ;)

:tup: This is going to be awesome!! Can't wait to see the finished look! After I got the MR Works headlights installed it made a huge difference in the way my Z looked.....totally changed the look....and I'm sure it will for yours Jon!

looks awesome!!!!!

I got some pics from Ryan and Marco of the lights. They are finished and were shipped today to AAM Competition for installation. They are going to look really nice I think but we'll just have to wait a few more days. :happydance:

Hope they shipped those suckers overnight!

They did. Will arrive tomorrow. Those guys were turnin and burnin all weekend long to get them done and they look great from the pics I received during the build. They even shot me over a short video so I could see them.

Suhweeeeet! :happydance:

Yup the were shipped overnight!! Will be at the shop from 12-3pm!

very nice!

Looking good...cant wait to see it!

Jon I emailed you all your documents! You should of received 2 pdf files! Please let me know if you don't get them. Can't wait to see them on your car. We made the smoked out reflectors so dark that if its indoor they look gloss black but if the sunlight is directly on them, you will see the hint of amber ;)

picsss or ban!!!!!!!!!!! haha

:icon18: I guarantee pics tomorrow! AAM Competition Open House but it's also the debut of the new Blacked Out 370Z!! ;)

Okay, I think I sent these to you and I've also posted to the Mid-A thread but here are some teaser pics I got from AAM today. (UPDATE) I added one picture attributed to Jon at AAM Competition who took the great photo at the open house on the 15th and one I took of the rear blackened tail lights.

Mmmm, nice

Zcar, The Z looks great :clap: :clap: :clap: well done.

Thanks! Several people from different corners of the country had a hand in making it happen. A real team effort!
