I scraped up my v1 lip; looked alot like yours until I bought some clear coat touch up paint at pep boys. Just sand down the very rough edges with fine grit sand paper then go over it with the clear coat; can't tell anything happened from a few feet away now.

 

It looks very nice!

 

nice spot on Scooby.

i was wondering if anyone saw him!

he was in my 300 and was pretty much the only thing besides some cd's that made the transition to the 350 when i got it.

me and scooby go back a long way.......

 

bark ... the Z looks great.

In addition to the new wheels ... one thing you might consider is adding the NISMO rear skirts -- if you can successfully remove the rear mud guards.

Only other thing .. maybe a NISMO front grill - JDM style .. for the future.

In any event .. nice !

 

All_Bark,

Give some thought to the CPF-Tunes... The tire sensors are nice, but I don't miss them at all when I see these rims on my car-- they are bad ***!

They have a unique black tint to them so it looks more like chrome with a blackish tint--- not like a dark graphite wheel or gun metal. Here is link to pics of my car and wheels...

DAMMMMMMMMMM, you had to go and post that link, didn't you?

those are now without a doubt the nicest rims in my opinion. Like you said, they are BADDD A$$$$$$$!!!!!!!

maybe TPS is not that important after all! now if they would only come down a bit in price.......



btw - how do you think the black chrome would work with silverstone?

 

i really like ur scooby doll

 

what is the name of that wing, and where can i get one?

 

mine is a nismo replica, I do not know what nismo guy's is.

his sig says JP rear wing, I do not know where that comes from though.

 

Joe,

About daayam time you posted pics of your Z.

Looks like you've done one too many battles with steep driveways. I know this may seem a little "third world" but you can line the center bottom part of the V1 lip. JUST THE BOTTOM and half way up with a strip of clear box packaging tape.

Just one piece will ease all impacts cuz god knows when we come in quick that nose will dive. You can barely see the tape there. Helps the paint from scattering with the micro cracks on the clear coat.
Clear bra works too but it'll probably strip off after a couple throw downs with some trenches. PB roads are hell!

Love how the side skirts and wing look on your car, it's hard to resist emulating. You need to drive it more!

Until the wheels come on.

 

I think it'd look great with your car! Depends on if you like the chrome look on wheels or not... I think most people like the look of a nice 5-spoke chrome rim--- the black chrome finish makes them look unique enough to stand out a little above the crowd.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of graphite or gun metal rims-- I have some graphite Konig Absolutes on my '02 Maxima SE. I just wanted to be a little "flashier" with the Z...

By the way, the CPF-Tunes are expensive, but I have never regretted having spent the money on them. Shop around--- they've been out for awhile now...

Joe

 

Get the Nismo grill.

Consider the Nismo rally stripes.

I don't believe Nismo makes 19" rims for the 350Z? I have the 18"s: LMGT4's I think they are called. If you want to keep it fresh, get the bronze ones.

I'll be driving down to San Diego for a few days in January, where do you cruise???

 

I looks da bom, i like it.

Roooby , Roooby , Roo.

 

Is that Scooby Doo on the dash?

 

Looks great .. keep up the good work!

Give her some new shoes from Volk
