hahahahaha u guys crack me up.....dude i know better not to lead you guys on here, ain't trying to get flamed
Noah as far as the body kit. I'm finished with the nismo look. got rid of the nismo usdm front lip, sides, and rear and replaced with the CWEST carbon fiber front lip, sides, and rear fins, and to top it off the ings LX rear hatch spoiler.
As far as the engine i'm going with, i think i'm actually gonna follow in noahs foot steps, i been talking to brian hinson, about doing an LS swap, because huntsville is about 4 hours north of where i stay. But see my motor only has 30k miles on it for an 03 z, and i want to hit 60k before i replace it. So looking to do the LS2 swap in the near future........
Yea he painted my front, sides, rear, but my wing won't be in till the end of december early january, becuz supposedly it's coming from japan, once my wing comes in, i'm putting that on and my carbon fiber hood back on.
my rims, i had gold sf challenges, on it but switched it up and got some satin black sf challenges for this new paint job...............
if you don't remember what my car looked like here's the before shot.......

Good luck with the finished out come.
Matte finishes are a good test to ones ( painters ) ability, not to mention the paint can be pricey.
I've been thinking about for about 4 months now, BUT.....I also want to trade the car in for a G37 next year so why spend the money on the paint job now.......
I actually called a local shop i get paint from to order a PINT only of matte charcoal grey along with the clear, flating agent and so forth to practice with, I've never messed around with matte finishes yet.
80.00 $$$ just for the pint kit
