Niiice. I'm thinking black headlighthousings would look better, but that's just me.

I won't you for trying something different, that's not something I'd
do because I love high gloss....but it's NOT my ride. Congratulations you've
created something different, it's your car enjoy it! Hell, you've gone this far
why not get white wheels and paint you tails white (satin) I'm thinking that
would look "****!"

Props for doing what you want, I don't like the two tone and if you're hating on flat black and doing flat white it's like :wtf:

^ yes the pics are terrible but it's all I got for now, since so many people are complaining about the shitty pics I could I can take my $300 kodak and take some high rez pictures if you guys want ? it won't be no HDR type pro photography, but it'll be far from grainy cell phone pictures... I'll probably give that a try later on since I'm tired of explaining myself repeatedly about the shitty pics

And I don't think you understand what "Satin" means... because it's not a flat/matte finish, satin is a clear coat finish that's right in between a full gloss and a matte finish, not too glossy and not flat either.

hopefuly I can get a better pic of the pearls in the paint later with the kodak and capture the satin finish better, these iphone pics make it look too dull


EDIT: here's a really upclose shot with the kodak that catches the pearls and satin finish a bit better, it's a HUUUGE picture though

+1 on the black wheels with the white pin stripe and on blacking out the lights. Love the look and the black roof too.

Then, get a storm trooper costume!

I wrote in the first page description that nobody apparently is reading I'm waiting for my APR widebody kit and HRE wheels to come in, lips are gonna be painted gloss black with a white time attack stripe and the spokes are going to be satin black



KYEXTAZ yea I'll try to get ahold of him again for the color code, I'll post up here soon as I have it


zul8r yea the color is a really nice bright pearl white, I'm sure you'll like it. When I park next to an Ivory Pearl Z or G it makes it look very yellowish in comparison


Karenlee thanks, hmmm.. funny I went to high school with a Karen Lee as well. But I'll wave right back if I don't miss you. I'm usually always looking ahead of the car scoping for potholes, we've had so many of them after this snowfall we had


Spork yea man I left the lights black for the most part but I just couldnt resist doing this to them

yea you're right, spray painting plastic is cheap looking. That's why I had the shop spray the plastic trim and they did it right, you can see it's as good as it gets quality wise.

Kon, sounds good man, now get your bumper fixed and we'll hit up the RS Spring Meet, go put your name on the list at NIClub.ca, I already got a few guys should be around 10 of us at least.

Honestly, it looks like a regular white G to me Nothing wrong with a white G, I think its the second best color to red.. I also think the lambo colors look best on G35's with wide body conversions.. Same with Z's--it just dont look bling enough to paint your car a ballar lambo shade and not go extreme on the look as well.. just my opinion..

but I think you over did the interior and headlights with the white paint .. too much white...

guess we'll all have to wait for a real photo shoot so you can see the pearly texture with the satin clear over it. This paint job is for real, it's the pics that are not giving it justice. It looks exactly the same as the Lamborghini pics up top, except those pics were taken with a 5 thousand dollar camera probably.
Nope.. Taken with a $229 Canon Powershot SD800 IS that probably costs less than your iPhone
