Very interesting thread. Speednz, you sure are dedicated to take on and finish that job. How much did everything end up costing you? Those rims have me scared now. I have an '03 with the stock 17" rims. They've never been powder coated or chromed. Has anyone ever heard of these rims failing without being modified? I'm definitely going to start inspecting mine for cracks now.

shes back!

Sorry guys i have been super busy being a full time student and working two jobs just to fund this project. So i decided to save money and attempt to conquer the body work and paint myself. Yes i made a paint booth out of one of my dads mobile homes and "practiced" my painting skills on my 350z. But if i may say so my self. Its beautiful. Its a Lamborghini aventador color called "blu cepheus". Except i put a twist and added a little extra pearl and thats what gives it that color changing look.

So its now my only vehicle and im honestly a little worried. Its got a few (small) issues that could turn into bigger issues that i would like you guys oppinions on.

good work...

If you are having issue with Electrical due to broken harness, wouldn't make sense to just find a harness from the junkyard and replace?

Well, nobody is going to express an opinion on these "small" problems, unless you provide more detail on exactly what they are.

Great work. Glad you switched out at least the rear bumper.

Awesome thread, learned new things. Nice job sticking to it man.

Wow

Unreal dedication to the Z... Love the color and the custom work to get you here. We're the stock panels damaged? I'm just not feeling the body kit, or perhaps the way those wheels work with it.
