Hello friends! Say a fella wanted to create a car show eye catcher. I've had my Z for a long time, and as many of you may know, I've been on here for a while now. I know most of you don't like the Veilside 3 kit, but personally, I think when it's done right and wide bodied, it's pretty cool.
I recently picked up the kit for a good price and the only thing in my way of applying it is my grabbing the wheel and tire set up I want.

My question to you guys is simple... I'm probably going to end up painting the car. It's PPW as of now but I have the oppertunity to do whatever I want. I've colored a couple of examples of what could be the potential outcome. Obviously, I'm interested in loud, zainy colors. What color do you guys think could look good?

The first option is just leaving the car white... but I think it looks kind of like a police car.
The purple car looks like Barney or something so I'm about to call it off too.
This whole project isn't going to happen imdiately but the ball is in motion. I plan on having the bulges and lips black, as well as the roof. I don't have the V3 wing because it's huge and obtrusive. I do, however have a Nismo 1 spoiler and red Sparco fighter seats, if that helps you with a visual.

I know this kit is hated by a lot of you so I don't need comments on that. Just the color is in question. The car will be a show car, not a drift or performance car (though it does have full bolt ons) so I'm not interested in Turboing it. Thanks for the opinions and have a good night.

 

i dont like any of those colors. Bu the white looks nice. Maybe a matte black with matte white?

 

Not feeling any of those colors. If it were my choice I would stick with PPW.

 

Yeah, I do love the Pearl white. It would be easiest to leave it white, and I'm sure I wouldn't regret it.

 

The only other color I think I might like more than the white is the blue. I'd get the paint code for the BMW Laguna Seca color... which I think is perhaps the sexiest color of all time. (look up Laguna Seca M3)

 

Please do not go matte white and black, I have a widebody that is matte white/black. It is an absolute nightmare to keep clean. If I would have known the trouble it would be before I painted it, it would be a different color.

 

Ive seen that green on a 350z here in Vancouver. Its hideous. Dont get the green.

 

Blue or Orange, but why build a waxer ride, its freaking boring. Save the cash and drive your car , have some fun, live a little.

 

Can't you go all one color?

 

What terrasmak said.

 

matte white will be a ***** to keep clean.

Hope your kit is authentic btw... if not...dont kid yourself into thinking a knock off will fit... they are deplorable.

be aware that this kit loves to collect rocks.. do something that will allow you yearly repaints on all leading edges.

Mine is flat black btw.
But the sheet metal is just wrapped, so i can go back to Silverstone at any time.. may be something to think about.

 

So youre looking for a solid color no pearls or metallics?

 

oh, and orange has been done a million times already.. id stay far away from that.

I thought the white one i saw in the UK was very nice. Flat black wheels, looked good.

 

I'm actually thinking about keeping it pearl white and maybe even taking it a step further and just wrapping the fender flares and lips so I could go all white if I ever wanted. I've been watching Venoms threads. He's wrapping his whole car in a Carbon fiber wrap. I think I may do the flares and lips like that. I know it's fake funtion and blah blah but it looks cool and since I'm not a race car driver, that's my main goal. It's not going to be driven very often or very far so I'm hoping to not worry about repainting or rocks so much. It is the authentic Veilside kit btw. Thanks for the advice and input

 

I'll probably do a pearl or metallic finish. I love how my PPW looks in the sun. I'm actually leaning towards leaving it alone and keeping it the PPW now. But I'm open for suggestions.

 

I would do a different pearl like the subarus color.
Ppw looks permanently dirty to me.

 

Haha. I never thought of it like that. It does look glazed in dirt sometimes from a distance. Interesting point

 

i think PPW w dark carbon dinoc might look cool, and still look different, and then again, will still look diff than mine.

I was really contemplating a flat white wrap myself. Glad i went flat black.. far easier to care for.

It will not be cheap to wrap the fenders in dinoc tho.. it will be several hundred dollars in dinoc even on ebay.. stuff aint cheap .

Paint will always be your best friend in that matter.

If Youre really gonna call it a show car, leave it PPW and send your over fenders to the guy on here that does carbon fiber overlays.. that would be quite cool.

But as your first post says, its really all about the wheels.
I tried 22s.. bad idea. The rears were sick, but the front was far too big.
20/22 looks sweet, but again, its heavy as sin.

Whatcha got in the works for wheels man? Youll want 20s.. anything else looks TIIIIIIIIINY.

 

Purple!
