Default roadster and nismo

Here is a picture of mine. I didn't do the rear bumpers... I think they interfere with the lines too much. I want the fiberimages for the rear bumpers.

And by the way, it looks much better with the top down.

Initially I was a bit concerned about the rear wing... then I just thought F it... give it a shot, and it looks so much better. All buddies who have seen it think it is perfect.

I havent seen the Nismo stripes... got any links to pictures? I am not a big fan of graphics although I have seen some nice subtle ones. I'm searching for a really nice hood with a single scoop like on the 550 Maranello. I'm pretty wary of poor fit though... if only Nismo would bring out there 350Z GT car hood!

I will upload more pictures once I can find my damn digicam cable!

Damn that does look nice...

I just reckon I would have to zaino the car every day to keep it looking show otherwise those decals would look not so good.

Not sure if that is a good or bad thing though... Dr.Bonz will probably comment

Default Paintin'

When you get them from Nismo they are just primed (no color). Apparently painting the spoiler and front is a *****.

Is the bumper a seperate part--I know you can get the front spoiler, but I have not seen any advertisements for the bumper.

Also, to me the lower part looks like it is Dark Gray.

I think Silverstone looks the best with the kit and graphics on it!

in the us, they only sell the urethane lip portion. in japan, it is fiberglass and it comes as one piece (bumper and lip molded as one). the only way to get the nismo full bumper is to have it imported or to buy through a company that imports it. they do make replica full bumper assemblies here.

Also, to me the lower part looks like it is Dark Gray.
the parts come unpainted. djclarkson, as many others do, painted everything the same body color. there is a recessed line that travels along the side skirts and front bumper. that is where the nismo 350z are painted gunmetal on the lower half.
