Here's one shot, I'll get more later.

Shot the hood and Grille/Fangs in black, filled the license plate holes.
Looks good man!

I know you're happy to get out of that rental!

Yep! I drew out a design of what I want the car to look like. Black on blue, shot the hood, grille/fangs, valance, and roof. Also color-matched the mirrors to the body. The license plate holes were filled with (I don't know) but it looks pretty dope, IMO.

Did one side of xpel on the rocker. After a break will do the other side.

There's a faint line about 4" up.
I am beginning to wonder how hard it would be for a total beginner to put one of those pre-cut kits on the front end of my Z?

Precut ones aren't too bad. Only trick is you need to be patient, fingers always wet while handling, never force a bubble out.

I think they used body-filler of some sort, smoothed it out, and sprayed over it. I had my 350z done the same way and it came out great.

Btw, here's a picture of the valance. I really like how it turned out. Ignore the compound residue btw lol

Hell yes! 4cyl corolla just doesn't do it for me. The Z looks much better, now I just have to get my springs and wheels to hook everything together. Oh yes, and a tint..

Oh man I like the gloss valance! More pictures please to include the front fangs. Preferably while outside. That last pic was in the shadow and doesn't do your hood and fangs justice!

Will do, I'll take it in the covered garage area and do some snaps. I'm still learning how to use my DSLR.

I was in the sun but honestly I don't know enough about my DSLR to deal with light like that. I should have some uploaded in a few.

Here's one of the grille/fang area. Yes, it's dirty...


Here's another of the full car from the front (note the color match mirrors) lol

Nothing. It is cool and rainy here. The Z stays in the garage.
