We can caravan from northbay too

 

I like the gloss black at the bottom. I want a V2 with the c/f cannards and lip, but not willing to pay upwards to a G. Good look!

i'm going to request that weekend off. thanks for the info....

 

Would love to see a close up showing the distance from the front lip to the ground, from the side and front! That corner is always in shadow, and that's what I want to know most about the V2.

Awesome pics, sweet ride! You did a great job there!

 

pics from earlier this morning....

 

 

 

 

gotta love the S turn...

 

 

I'm not a fan of the black bottom. But it is a minor fault. Very nice job. Now you just need the Evo-R Type E wing to finish it off.

Not to knock the guy in the the pics above but the more and more i see it the more i dont like this front end. When i first saw it i love it but for some reason now that i see it more and more Im starting not to like it.

 

See, I'm opposite...I hated it when it was first released. "Too slopey" i said. "Too much like a 9-1-1 Slooope" (<--Tone Loc)

Then I saw a few and realized it adds nearly nothing to the overhang. Looks good. BUT...

That front lip is just too low. The beauty of the V1 lip was that it matched the side-skirt lines perfectly. The new front clip though is a bit more aggressive. Looks good, but just too low to be practical (especially around here, with all the potholes, dips, metal plates covering service work, etc...)

Killer lookin ride tho!

 

like the two tone but, 3 things need to be done to finish it imho.

1. wheels need to black, either new wheels or powdercoat the lm's you have now.
2. splash guards just arent cutting for the rear. finish the kit! (edit, just read you are getting them)
3. cf nismo spoiler v1 or v2.

looks great so far, finish it ftw!

 

Leave the wheels.

 

Do what you like. Looks good so far.

 

I don't think you "need" black wheels, nor do I think you "need" a Nismo wing.

The rear underspoilers will look good...you could even just paint the bottom of the rear bumper black instead, since the USDM rear under spoilers come up a bit higher in the rear than you might want if you're going to paint them black.

I just have to be careful with what I say on this thread because I can tell that you take other people's opinion seriously. You created a poll on how to paint your bumper and painted it exactly the way the majority voted. I'm not sure if I could ever do that w/my own car myself. So whatever I said...just take lightly and know you have a beautiful car that makes a lot of us jealous.

 

i agree with you. of course people are entitiled to their opinions. i made a poll just to "see" what people thought. it's my Z and i'll do what i feel looks good. they can make comments, at least they know what they don't want to do to their Z. everybody has different taste. i want to keep mine all authentic nismo and make everything like how nismo did. in case i wanted to sell my Z, any dealership will take a nismo.

i painted the bumper with a silver lip at first, but after looking through my photoshop renderings i decided to change it to black. i didn't even use the votes as a resource to decide what i should do. i know all i'm going to add are the rear underspoilers and that will complete my body mods. then i'm going to start engine mods. the wheels will stay the same, they look awesome in person.

thanks for the advice.
