Ya I agree about the tints but I will never be able to thanks to the wonderful state of NJ not allowing them in the front driver or passenger side. WTF !!!!

Wow wow wow. Where did you get the picture from of the pearlescent white? It looks amazing!

Do you have the pic with the original wheels on, as I quite like them. Im buying this car in this colour, no doubt!!!

Cheers

that chop was amazing. That's my favorite Z right next to the stock blue one. If Turin White looks anything like that, I want it!

Decided to rock out in paint last night and "fix" the headlights.



Better or worse?

much worse. makes the car look tall and narrow.

to rock that look, the headlights would need to be set lower.

I dont see tall and narrow but they would look better if they were set out a little wider (with my paint job).

follow the body from the top of the front fender well (wheel opening) down to the bottom of the bumper. that is a loooong strip that visually increases the height of the car. then look at the area between the outside edges of the headlights straight across at the lowest and highest point compared to how wide the car is. again, it 'scrunches' up the width.

if you look at the unmodified lights you can see how they use those same areas to optically widen the and lower the car but putting the bulk of the headlight housing low, and following the shaping of the fender.

the rear lights are the most glaring example of bad light shaping. terrible.

(this is just my opinion)

see, just chop off the top of the rear light where it is white, and maybe reattach it on the underside and it'll drastically improve the rear. maybe add a little sculpting leading to the duck tail and presto! beauty.

I see what your saying now that you mention it. My headlights give the car a sleek look but yeah would need some additional body work to make it look right.

Someone photoshop a license plate on the front of the car. You never see this in any pics but there are plenty of states where you must have a front license plate. I wonder where it will mount exactly and what it will do to the appearance. Little things count.

you can see the mounting point for the license plate.


also, I knew it would look much better with those stupid teeth blacked out. nice job.

I love the 370Z, but I couldn't resist. It's the first thing that comes top mind!
