Default Nogaro Red on 20" flatblack Axis Shines dropped on Tanabe NF210s

More pics to come. The cars not clean, the lighting is crap and yes, Im taking them with my BB camera right now... The tires are tucked in both front and rear, Ill need to roll the fenders before I can put a wheel spacer on the rear.

UPDATE (3.27.2010): I checked out the front fenders today and ouch! The tires have both hit one of the screw heads that hold the fender liner in place resulting in a small splinter in the edge of one fender and a one inch crack in the other (the paint). I removed the screw for the time being, definitely going to the roll the fender and put a 245/30 up front.

I used your setup as a guide. Did my research, saw your pictures, which gave me the okay to go with it. My concern was rubbing, which I don't have any of.

Shitty BB camera. Ill take more soon.

They're definitely not satin, matte and flat are essentially the same thing. Theres no gloss. Because of the color, its hard to get a good idea of the way the wheel looks in pictures.

Decent looking setup, 20's aren't really my thing, but this doesn't look bad.

matte and flat black are not ESSENTIALLY the same thing, one has gloss and one does not. You could say that satin and matte are essentially the same thing since they both have gloss but one has more than the other .

if i knew how to add a link then i would but you can just search and read it yourself. this has been discussed many times already so lets not get into this subject.

ANYWAYS. your car looks good and im going to paint my pentas pretty soon, so if you can, take a good pic of how the rivets look bc thats my main concern, oh and did you powder coat or paint?

sweet car once again but u still need better quality pics, bc these pics DONT DUE JUSTICE!

Got it, got it, got it.

The pictures suck, I gotta go get the digital camera tomorrow and take some good shots.

As for the rivets, ouch, thats the part that sucks. I powder coated. The rivets appeared to be metal, but after subjecting them to the heat when baking, they dis-formed. So we're still not sure what they are made of! Painting them I would imagine to be difficult.

Sweet drop meng. I never considered dropping the Z until I saw a lowered one park next to me and was sold on the idea. How's camber looking? About to get those same springs and going through the biggest debate if I should get a camber kit or not. Also...did you do the rear spring mound cut thing?

No carbon fiber hood. Cwest CF front lip, not sure what sideskirts (maybe CF Veilside fins), Nismo rears (but only if I don't do Veilside CF fins) and carbon fiber rear diffuser. Thats the plan anyway.

Theres definitely camber. Before dropping the wheels sat flush with fender, now they tuck, for perspective purposes, I now have about 10mm from tire edge to fender edge. Don't know what kind of tire ware issues Ill have as of yet. I do have rear toe bolts Ill have installed when getting my alignment. You shouldn't have a problem in the front as far as alignment goes.
