Thanks for the advice everyone

Anyway it's only a matter of taste

Only thing i find stupid around here is all the people who don't make a difference between the fact that someone has different taste and the fact that they should drive or not a car

I just wanted your opinion on the car itself, you can keep the "stay away from the car", it's useless and stupid.

Regards

Andy

no spacer in the rear. the offset with just using the front spacers was so close its un noticeable.

about the dip. I think i will keep if for a while. the wheels arent dipped. thank you for allowing me to keep my wheels. very kind of you

A VQ35DE 03-05 has 287hp. A VQ35DER (revup) came in the 06 models has 300 hp. Now these numbers are at the crank not rwhp. I believe this car is a 06 because of the wheels, not sure on that.

yep.. i look at headlights, tails, and wheels.. i would guess 06 too.. agree with the consensus.. plastidip needs to be left alone... Although two tone I like IF the second color, if you want to call it color is Carbon Fiber as long as it's not overdone.

I would however lover the European/Asian rear bumper on mine... Hmmm

Hello Andy. I like your second picture much better than the 1st. Looks sharp. Also I agree with Captain. smoking the reflectors to better match the rims would be a key touch IMO. Good Looks

To be brutally honest, your Z looks like a goth chick with aggressive eyeliners and that wing doesn't look too good. Everything else looks great. But your second picture looks amazing! Well done. Would of been a little cooler if you left the middle chin black though, but still very nice than the first.

I think you should take everything off to make the car look stock as possible, plastidip is the cheap way out, never take the cheap way out with your car because itll wind up looking like **** in the end, just my opinion of course

@Jcrisp I agree with you on not taking the cheap way out, but don't you think plastidip has some benefits just as it is easily applied and removed with no damage to existing paint? I have a friend who likes to dip all his chrome parts in black during the winter and remove it in the summer. Partially aesthetics and partially functional.

@Andy you should do some tuning work if you are now satisfied with the exterior.

It's definitely useful, I plastidip my entire car into a different color sometimes when I don't want my car to be easily recognized then I tear it off back to the original color. But I recently started using wraps instead, they are just as good but even easier to tear off and you have a glossy finish instead of the dull matte finish the plastidip has.
