Default Finished the exterior for now... Nismo

Might go with the Nismo V2 front bumper w/canards next.






Thanks for looking.

Looks really good. I don't like how the front lip is showing alot of black though. The rear doesn't show it! Good paint job.

Looks good. I always thought the U.S NISMO kit looks very classy and subtle for the 350Z.

we actually took off the weatherstripping off the rear add-on skirts and i think it looks MUCH cleaner. we JUST put on the nismo wing on thursday night before the race track (that was a fun ordeal ).

i had to convince Josh to put the rear skirts back on. lol.

the car is gorgeous in person, and it's a BLAST to drive!! Car felt great and looked like it was performing well this past weekend @ VIR.

Josh always makes his cars clean. This Z is no exception. Cusco camber arms, TurboXS test pipe, Nismo body kit, Nismo intake, Nismo exhaust, Nismo LM4's, Swift springs, Project MU brake pads, Stoptech SS lines, etc....

Yup, those pics were taken at PTuning Monday afternoon.

I should thank Dave and Juan at Function Tuned for rewelding my TurboXS test pipes on such short notice. The welds for the hangars cracked completely off on one side at VIR leaving a rather large hole. The car sounded like a non-turbo Porsche 911 with straight pipes!

It's because the front lip isn't really attached properly at the moment.

Loads of rasp over ~50% throttle under 3.5k RPM. I think it sounds great in the high RPM's at WOT.
