Default Jigsaw paint seen in Indiana

Bought new in '08 w/31 miles on the odo., thought that was 30 too many. Kept stock for four years, decided to personalize my Z early this year. Invidia Gemini exhaust, Nismo S-Tune suspension, Work XD-9s, K&Ns, UpRev tune & cruise enabled by Dynosty. Katzkin leather should be here sometime this week

Two weeks ago, fitted Shine Auto sides & rear add-ons, then off to local dealer body shop for paint, asked for rear bumper to paint to match. Terrible paint match, shop manager agreed it should have never left the shop. And, THEY CURBED A WHEEL! Back in paint for correction yesterday, the embarrassed manager will cut a check for new wheel.

Off this weekend for a photo opportunity in New Harmony, In., 30 miles NW of Evansville In. A scenic and historical town founded in 1814 as a religious commune and later a center of scientific research.

A talented graphic designer and photographer agreed to travel to New Harmony with me, hope you enjoy the pics:

Looks good.. What size tire is in the rear? Makes the wheel look tiny lol.

I think you should color match the front lip.

I really like that TR-3 and the MGA in the back ground.

Where is it exactly that you're from? We have a large Infiniti/Nissan club here in Indiana.. mainly central Ind, though. Shoot me a message if you're interested. You can always join up and join the discussions if you're unable to meet at events, etc.

Thanks, Bmurray. Tires are the usual 245/275-40 on 18' wheels.

KornerCarver: Several other Z's running around too. Both the Triumph and MG were immaculate.

QuintonC: Just across the Ohio River from Evansville. Thanks for the invite. Made it to the Heritage meet in Nashville but couldn't get there until late. That would be my Z in the background:

Hope to have everything together for ZNationals.

The mods you've chosen look great. Simple but enough to make it look cool. I dig the tractor picture too.

Regards, Camarolt: Trying to resist a rear diffuser, bumper tuck would be cool but so far everything is reversible in a day of easy effort. Original Nissan design is clean, hope to keep it that way.

Photog. is creative, spending most of a fine day with Jon was a learning experience. The fifth shot is a reflection of the Z in a plate glass window, the vintage autos were inside.

Hi, 350zchad: Photo shamelessly lifted from forum member "kingdom", apologies for not having given credit:

https://my350z.com/forum/event-photo...hville-in.html

Couldn't get there in time for any of the events, really enjoyed the roads in the Nashville area though.

350zchad- This year was my first, kept a smile on for weeks.

Have installed the S-Tune suspension since this shot was taken, good reduction in body roll without rendering the ride too harsh for touring. The 5/8" drop is welcome.

If I can swing ZNationals this year, a detour through Cades Cove and Deals Gap would be icing on the cake.

awesome Z the red is great, not sure why you did the Uprev tune!?! I thought that only really mattered for 03-05's VQ35DE....or is this a VQ35HR tune for a Nismo Z tune?!? (if that question makes sense)

Love the clean look of the 350Z in red.

And the picture with the red tractors remind me of the Soviet Union, the Chinese and the North Korean Red Army. Lol.

Should have written "osiris", would have avoided the confusion. Was pleased to find Dynosty as a provider.

MonkeyMagic72: There were thirty or so tractors in that rank. Sorry to disagree, didn't look anything like your second picture.
