Default Orange Peel Problem! :( :(

My Z has some MAJOR orange peel,hard to tell unless you have light at certine angles, but it's definatly there..

Is Nissan willing to fix or do anything to cars already sold with this problem or is it a done deal now and my problem??

Look , I know you may be unhappy, as its an awesome car, and Im no one to stop someone else from being a perfectionist like myself, but just take your Z down to, oh...say the BMW dealership, and look at a new 7-series. I gaurentee that it will be the same quality as your Z.

If its that "hard to tell" then I would forget about it.

Well it was only a matter of time. Brad is right though, go down to any BMW dealership, then check out *shudder* new Fords, esp. their sport utilities. Then realise how good your car looks.

Come on, Ricky. You can't do better than that?

For a 16 year old who could not get a 350Z because of insurance rates, couldn't you come up with better "trash" on the Z?

The orange peel issue has been discussed ad nauseum, so let's "troll" with a different topic.

I think you'll be hard pressed to find any car that's far superior to the paint quality on the Z. The ONLY areas that I might complain about would be mis-matched colors for the plastic bits(fenders and gas door). All four Z's that I have had a chance to walk around and critique have been very nice... much nice than both my other Zs and my 'teg.

I guess Delorean had the right idea, no orange peel.

Well, that would have satisfied about 80% of 350Z buyers.
