Black plasti dip, Plasti dip metalizer, Teal engine enamel paint and peelable taillight tint is all I used. >$100. Tell me how you guys feel about the transformation and if you have any suggestions for further upgrades. Thanks guys.

Nothing makes a Z look more like a Civic than Plastidip. Nicely done.

Next upgrade - Nismo stickers.

heyyyy. im broke and just wanted to get a quick start on a new look. This isn't permanent. And stickers add HP right?

I understand, but don't do something just so you can say you did. Nothing wrong with a stock-looking Z, and if you'd saved that $100 you'd be ~1/3 of the way toward adjustable sway bars, which will actually improve the car. Just an example. Search the site and see what others have done, and put together a step-by-step plan, and save your $ along the way.

BTW, that looks like a nice, clean original car. "07 or '08? 6MT or 5AT?

I'm assuming that's a "not good" gif lol
Like I said, it's not permanent, I just wanted mine to be different than all the other 350z''s around my town
I'm broke and half this paint I already had laying around my house.

Haha you guys such *** holes I swear. I've had the car like maybe 1 week? It was just something I did on the weekend. Jesus. Give me a break. I'm ready to delete this thread now

you cant delete it

Yeah I already tried lol. Well at least a year from now I'll come back and quote this thread after I get a real build and maybe it will halfway be decent to all you Internet bullies

I like the tint. Black out the bottom lip under the grill too. You'll peel off the plasti dip on the wheels in like two weeks when you wash the car and the dirt and stuff won't come off.

You cant come into a forum with some plastidip modifications and expect a good reaction, have you seen the cars people on the forum own? Or?

Ah yeah I bet the lip would look good. Thanks for actual positive advice. And yeah I've already tried to clean them a little and it was a *****. Had to replace the clutch already or else I would have already bought different rims. Plus they have BRAND new tires so I was gonna wear those out a little while

Woah Woah woah. Travlee I just looked at your albums and your black Nissan 350z with the black rims. Is that not plastidipped?
