Last August, my driver side door was keyed. I finally got it into the body shop on Monday - Sept 1st. While it was in the body shop, I took advantage of this time down.

Eventually, my windshield was cracked due to following behind a semi. I wasn't even close, it just kicked up a good sized rock that made a 8" crack.

So now my door is keyed, my windshield is cracked, my front bumper is full of rock chips and the clear coat is peeling, and my lower control arms are screwed... Grim times indeed.

Well, I ordered the LCA's along with new end links, and those were delivered Wednesday. So that's getting taken care of next Friday.
New windshield installed.
Door was fixed.
Nismo V2 ordered.



After two weeks without my car, I finally got it back.



(Note: I haven't worked my magic on the pictures, so they're kinda plain, etc.)

 

i like

 

looking good!

Congrats on the new look.

 

Car looks great!

btw, how were your lower control arms messed up and where did you buy new ones?

 

silver wheels on silverstone/carbon silver look strange to me. i would love to see some black LMGT4's on your car. looking good!

 

yea I think if ya had the black nismo wheels the car will stand out really well.. Nice none the less

 

I've thought about powdercoating them gloss black. That would look perfect on this car.


They slid off the bushings

Pictures are in the thread.

Thanks guys for the compliments!


Comments are always welcome.

 

Looks great, practically new

 

Wow it came out nice. LOL you painted the center and lip black.

 

Thank you. I thought the same thing when I first saw it.

I'm surprised how well the body shop painted the car. The entire driver side and bumper/sideskirts/rears were painted.

 

That is the first pair of '06 tails I've seen smoked I think. I don't think I like it for some reason. Everything else about the car looks great!

 

Nice But Should Have Got The Concave Nismos My Opinion!!

 

Concave Nismos?

 

Car looks great... Congrats on its return.

 

I think he means 18s.

 

I do believe he is talking about the 18 x 9.5 LMGT4s, they have more concavity!

 

looks good!

 

Car looks great! +1 on some matte black wheels. That would look sweet on your car.

 

Z looks great!
