i guess with my "setup" it's mostly a love it or hate it thing... the kit (not many go with it), color... eg. the phoenix yellow on the e46 m3... people either love it or hate it... same thing with the jdm tails... have had a few friends tell me it was a bad idea altogether but after seeing it it began to grow on them and they started to think otherwise...

haha well my initial plan was going with a flat/satin black and bright highlighter orange wheels... after awhile i changed my mind and tried to get my paint shop to come up with a gold but still using a flat finish to make it look more "stealthy?" he did a few trial mixes for me and i ended up liking this color very much for some reason...

i like! i think you just need to lose the nissan burger on the hatch , it clashes with the oldschool fairlady emblem i think maybe a pearl black one would look better if anything.


I just happen to have an extra black one

haha i tried to push the "fairlady Z" emblem to the side as much as possible... but it was hard trying to get the emblem to lay completely flat (the edge of the "F" isn't quite flat) cause the surface of that part of the hatch isn't quite flat (3 different sides) but i did the best i could in bending the emblem... i think for i'll keep the silver one for now but if i do change my mind on losing the "fairlady Z" emblem i'll change the burger emblem to a black one for sure... thanks for compliment and offer though!

i painted the wheels instead of powdercoating them... was afraid of messing up the rigidity of the rims with powdercoating... but i just learned that if it's below 350 or 360 degrees or something like that it should be fine... but the paint guy did a good job on the rims though (apart from the touch ups i'll be getting on them when i bring her back in a week or two)... no build-ups around the edges or whatever since he put a good deal of clear on them to minimize obvious rock chips...

thanks for the comments peeps! truly appreciate them!

Nice!!!! I love it and obviously love matte finishes as well. I would LOVE to see our cars together in one place! Man that would be a unique and impossible shoot to duplicate!

To each their own, I think is unique and does work. Reminds me of the Matte Gold GT-R in Dubai.

totally agree! we've got to get some flat/satin colored Zs for a shoot... that would be one of a kind... i was constantly browsing the pictures of your car and MyFaiRLaDy's car while i was deciding on going with a flat finish actually

what can i say your car is sick!!! btw, imo i suggest you go with highlighter orange gramlights 57 max for that "racey" look!!!

awwww man... but i love her even more now!

but like they said... to each their own i guess...
