Default Repainted my Z (Pics)

So with all the money I saved on buying Rotas I was able to get an authentic Nismo v2 front, authentic Ings+1 sides and rear, and Clearconrers com headlights. (haa I kid I kid) It’s still a work in progress I’ll spring for $$ rims eventually – in the mean time I will accept checks!!!

Anyways I also had the whole exterior repainted (same DB cause it’s the best) and painted the door handles, B-pillar, Z side markers (last minute addition should have them tomorrow) and side mirrors a Pearl Black.

Also shaved from and back emblems, rear wiper and relocated my antenna. Once this paint cures a clear-bra will be next!

Onto the pics:























Photoshop fun:









Thats all for now - waiting on side emblems and better lighting - maybe Wednesday since it should be cloudy here - we'll see...

Hey man, Indeed it has been a long time. I live way south now in Kyle. I took these pics about 5 minutes from my house. I'll PM you next week and we can meet up (I'm pretty busy this week (unless it's the middle of the night!)).

Edit - Lights were $$ considering I had 03 headlights and had to spring for the 06 lights. Add the price of this mod http://www.clearcorners.com/products/nissan/350zx3/ with the price of used headlights (Ave. deal) and that'll be about right.

Oh and I still have my 03 lights (I saw you posting for lights not too long ago). They are the HID's but the lenses (meaning plastic covering) is all cracked to hell because I decided to put an overlay on them. We can work something out if you still need them - all the interior bits are good.

Edit - We could meet halfway (Austin) and I'm sure I could make it look good.

Can you tell me what kind of bulbs are used for the parking/city lights? The round white bulb on top of the lens, thanks.

That's about as good as it gets. Paint looks great.
I dreamed about repainting my car once...
