Default GOT THE TREEFIDDY BACK. Made some additions as well ;)

Only took 30+ days, but the car looks great after losing in a hit and run with a semi-truck. While it was in the shop I went ahead and had them black out the door handles, pinstripe my wheels (used to be a vinyl) and paint my center console to match the car paint. Posted some before and after pictures

You make it sound like you know someone that won in a hit in run with a semi-truck.

But seriously though, glad you're okay.

You're crazy, may be a bad picture, but in person it looks great. Not to mention, 9 times out of 10, when I see your comments, it's a negative one. But yes, it is a C-West carbon fiber lip and I have a split paint job on it so only the center section exposes the carbon fiber.

Took at a weird time when the sun was slapping me in the face. But I REALLY like the center console. I'll try and get a better shot tomorrow with my POS camera.

I kind of agree with both of you. In the picture it looks kind of cheap like plastic painted with high-gloss water-colors. But then again, it might just be a bad pic like you said.

I'm sure its great to have your car back.That 30+ days seemed like 30 months,right?
I'm not too keen on the all black look,especially when you include the wheels and into the interior.But you sure have pulled it off nicely.The black console looks nice.But then again,that much gloss in the interior would'nt work for me.A satin finishor even a wrinkle finish(comp. look) would look richer and less plastic in my book.But,you know things ALWAYS look better in person no matter how good the pics.Nice lip...I'd prefer all CF rather than a two-tone.

Yep, it was delay after delay. It feels great having it back. And thank you for the compliments/critique. I considered leaving it all carbon fiber this time around but I just like the lip to flow into the body of the car. But everyone has different tastes, which is what makes it fun to see how people modify their 350z.

In the picture, it appears the console still has some of the stock texture... more in some places than others. Don't get butthurt over someone pointing out an obvious flaw.

I agree with the console looking like crap.



Good to see you got the car back, at least.

i agree I don't like the stock texture showing on the newly painted center console but it looks better than mine at the moment.
