Djinfamousx · 12-14-2011, 05:37 PM

Painted the Rims myself have a lot more to do...

Pretty good paint job.

What other plans do you have?

toxik · 12-15-2011, 10:33 AM

why is the front bumper all white, what happened to the black grille?

I would black out the front grille insert and the lower lip, vinyl the roof and the side view mirrors and call it a day.

it should be black OEM though, the front.

apparently when you get the front bumper repainted the lame autobody shops paint the whole thing, then if they have them paint it black the rock chips will start showing the color underneath. Happened to me and others... LAME

Looking good...you got a close up on the rims?

Flaguy · 01-07-2012, 03:29 PM

^^^ Would also like a closeup of the rims. What paint is that? How many coats? etc...Would like details on that as i'd like to get my rims painted as well.

I have a set of Sport wheels that I plan on using as test mules for DIY paint. If it doesn't work out like I want, I will just take them to a shop and have them square me away!

From the looks of the pics it seems he painted the inside too, looks good though.

The Nismo body kit bothers me. It is a copy of the veilside kit from back in 2003 for the Acura Rsx and Supra that Nissan copied and modified to fit the 370z. Anyone else notice this?
