+2 on the eyelids, the front license makes it look like your car has a buck tooth, but the law is the law i guess, no front emblem with that bumper makes it look too naked/plain/boring.

Thanks for the comments. Yeah I think the eyelids look better in person, not so good in pics. I am thinking about maybe painting the inside of the grill area and down to lower lip black. Here is a pic of bj2479's car, this is what I meant about painting the grill and lip center black. This may also help make the front bumper not look so "naked". Can someone photoshop that paint scheme on my front bumper??

oh yeah, I sure wish the front license plate law didn't exist, looks so much better without it. I gotta stay legal though.....damn Texas law!

Yes, like that. If I got a vented hood I would probrably paint it PPW though. Or how about painting the hood black, the grill area black like in the pic above, and then also the area of the front bumper that is below hood and above grill opening black as well. Like one big fat black stripe, from the windshield all the way down to the front lip. Also paint the rear hatch, top, and window frames black. hmmmmm, ...... or is that too much. LOL. I know someone could photoshop that, cmon!!

Like in this pic below. I believe this is Ed718's car. I just did a little photoshop of it myself. yeah i know my PS skills suck but I did it quickly and used MS Paint . But you get the idea that I am talking about. Someone PS it on my PPW. Do it, Do it !! Man I need to stop, I am getting too carried away now....someone stop me!!

I like it all white, looks tight. The black just takes away from the likes IMO. Also agree with getting rid of the headlight things...

ahh yes, thanks. I think I am going back to the paint shop tomorrow to see when I can get this done. I need to do it soon so I can finish it up with a clear bra too.

IT LOOKS PERFECT!! DONT CHANGE A THING!! I was going for the exact same look... but i have daytona blue.. i got the same eyelids n all..... i dont think you should paint the front bumper black on the lip though.. keep it clean as hell!! also if you really wanna paint it black u shoulda went with black rims.. but i think u should actually get your rims painted 350z white.. it would look sick!!! just my opinion.. peace..

Ed718- thanks man. Yeah sorry I had used that pic on a thread of yours a while back. Back then no one photoshopped that paint scheme to make it look decent.
I wish they made those ventilated seats in frost interior, I would buy them in a heartbeat. They would be so nice in this Texas HEAT!!
hmmm new bodykit for you huh? I think the INGS N-spec full kit would look good, very popular right now. Veilside V1 front lip looks good but good luck finding it in urethane. That was my original choice. I like the Nismo sides and they are a perfect OEM fitment, that is why I went with them. Most kits I think look very good on LeMans Sunset. hmmm so whatcha gonna do?.........hmmmmmm


Man, so there is not much love for the eyelids. wow. I like the way they look though. Oh well, time will tell I guess.
