What are some things I can do to my Z at home without buying parts?
Put whatever you want on your car. Your the one that is driving it, and paying the note. Nismo is not a car. Nismo is simply parts. They make stickers. You can put a Nismo sticker on your car and it is just as much a "Nismo" as any other "Nismo" Here is a link to the Nismo official web site for an authentic Nismo part: $3 sticker to make your car a "Nismo".

Anyways just do whatever you want.
Here is something you can do real cheap to the interior. My wedding ring was tearing up the finish on my door panel so I wrapped it in a flat black carbon fiber like vinyl. One pic is without a flash so you can see what it looks like normally and one with a flash so you can see the pattern better.[IMG]

[/IMG][IMG][/IMG]agreed. I have a nismo oil cap, does that mean my car is nismo and I'm say it is? No. I simply put it on because it looks nice. I do have some other questions about your cf wrap, where did you get it? What did it cost and how easy/hard was it to put on? I thought about getting a cf dash kit but if it's cheaper to do this, I might do this instead.

This does have limitations to the amount of stretch and warping. The handle area is not perfect, but it is also not noticeable

I would rate the difficulty a 5/10. I will provide a link to what I used which was dirt cheap for 8sqft of it. I also ordered the 3M 1080 glossy stuff but as it is more expensive I only bought 1 sqft to test it. It just came in the mail and I have not even opened it yet. I will let you know how it compares to the much cheaper stuff!

JCITY is a member on here. He is the man when you do the interior vinyl wrap stuff. Just contact him for his advice. I think he has a write up what to do and what not to do. Great guy. He will even help you over the phone. Look some of his posts up on this stuff.

As for the 3M vinyl I just opened it and here is a picture of the two together.
The 3M is the one on top.
I'm not totally sold on the look of it. It just seems too much like its trying to be carbon fiber, where the other one has its own look too it if that makes any sense haha.
