Just bought it a couple days ago.....let me first start off by saying that I had nothing to do with this build, bought it off owner just as it is now!!!!
I owe everything that is done to this car to him, beautiful job!!!!
anyway here are some pics that I would like to share with you guys, kinda sloppy ill take an actual shoot here soon. p.s. tell me what you realy think I know there are very mixed opinions about the satin black, but man when I saw this car I had to have it ha ha ha I have had modded camaros, gt's and transam's and nothing I have ever owned looked and rode like this
Im in love with flat black ha ha ha peace. ryan

You need Nismo side skirt to complete the theme.

Get rid of the louvers....prepare to get burn on that one.

Welcome and enjoy your stay

Wow....

ok here are some tips to get that Z made the right way(or fix it):

1. Ditch the wheels, find new ones with correct offsets, or get spacers.

2. Either whole car is satin, or metallic, not both.

3. I like black Nismo stickers on satin (for some reason)

4. Take off those headlight covers.

5. TAKE OFF THE REAR WINDOW LOUVERS ASAP (this is MOST important one)

6. Get some side skirts. Front lip and rear bumper add-ons are ok.

7. Wing is ok, actually one of my favs.

EDIT: The satin looks good, i like it with the subtle gloss Nismo stickers.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

Yup, go to the wheel and tire section of the forum and search for "wheel spacers".

Actually, once in that section, look at the "stickied" section at the top of the threads and read the thread that is titled something like "Read this frist about wheel spacers".

You will learn everything you need to make wheels flush in that thread.

If I were you I would just buy new wheels instead of getting spacers. Trust me, you'll end up doing it overtime anyway.

Car looks good .. Most def get the nismo sides and dump those TSW wheels..
IMO OEM 18's with spacers would look better than those rite now!!

I think a gunmetal or grey wheel would look good with flat black.

Also check out ZeezCustomz's ride. He's got the flat black theme going with some Phantom Volk GT-S...looks pretty sick so far. He's still in progress (needs to be lowered ).
