Woah...what's the history of the car (in general, but mainly WRT to the wrap)?

congrats!

I bought the car in Gainesville Georgia while visiting my family. I had been looking for a manual Nismo, but was very happy with the auto with paddle shifters. Plus, my wife can drive it if she wants. :-)

The wrap was on the car when I bought it, and I used it to my advantage to negotiate the price. I did some research on the wrap, and found that it was inspired by a Japanese Anime character from Mobile Suit Gundam. It is really not my style, so I am in the process of removing the wrap and installing an aFe Power Takeda Attack Stage-2 Pro 370Z Cold Air Intake.

Thanks, James

I uploaded some updated pictures of the Z after I removed the vinyl wrap. The old wrap pulled paint off the front bumper, so I tried to repaint it but it looked terrible so I had to re-wrap it with Carbon Fiber vinyl until I can get it professionally painted. :icon14:

ZoomZ,

The door handles are Gun Metal in color. I have thought about taking them off and seeing if I can polish them with my Dremel and some polishing compound to see if they will "shine up".

Love how it looks without the wrap. Im sorry, I was not a fan of the wrap. The Silver is beautiful!

I wouldn't do that. I hate the chrome ones.

It appears that the previous owner may have swapped these to the 2018+ years.

2017 was the last year they had the "chrome" handles. On Nismo anyway.

They added the Gunmetal handles and trunk release button/mechanism for 2018. Also, went to Dunlop Tires vs Bridgstone Potenza (Canada anyway)
