Default Puertoricans exterior progress to Laguna Seca Blue

I posted this in the Pacific thread but I figured I would share this with you guys aswell. The car has been down since May, because it was keyed and I wanted to fix the little dents and rock chips. I loved how my car looked before but I felt it was time to switch it up a bit. I decided to undergo an exterior transformation. While in the process of deciding on which route I wanted to go with this, I contemplated amongst three colors. I wanted the lexus Pearl white, a candy blue similiar to the daytona blue, or a really deep red. Although these colors would look sick and have been done, I wanted something different that was not similiar to anything Nissan offered stock. I was looking for a color that was unquestionable. So I decided to go with Laguna Seca Blue, color offered by BMW, and add a blue Pearl to make it pop.
I have posted many threads selling my old parts to replace with......
CF Asuka double hump roof skin, type 2 hood
CF mastergrade hatch, A pillars, B pillars, TS rear diffuser
08 headlights
Alliance BBK
Volk GTS +17, +18 rims
and other stuff that I can't think of right now
Car is currently at the shop and majority of the body work is complete. Clearcoat has been sanded off all carbon fiber parts and is ready to be recleared. I will be updating this thread with pics and info whenever I have anything lol. The car is scheduled to be ready for Spocom, ending of August.
I posted a lot of pics, because I don't know how soon I will have updates

Awesome idea! I think this is gonna look sick, especially if you black out the headlights.

I always thought the Phoenix yellow M3 color and Brazen Orange GTO color would look good on a Z too.

Yep!!! headlights are being blacked out and customized..... I have the Jdm tails, but it wouldn't flow as is, so I am having them tinted as well as the turning signals.

Very good choice in color and parts, in for finals. (Hang that Puerto Rico flag in your house or something, though, not in car)

Bro, looks like some serious upgrades are going to be implemented. I can't wait to see her when she is complete, she is going to look better than ever. All you need to do is taaake that damn banner off of your rearview mirror and add a Texas one. Your lucky if GX has it out by August of next year... Best advise: Don't pay for **** until you have looked the car over thoroughly and you are completely satisfied. Receipt drafted and printed before payment is made. Go over EVERYTHING. PM me for questions.

I wish the best for ya man, and keep us updated on the beast. We want to see some pictures of that sweet azz once she is all cleaned up.
