Default All Black Small Things

I have always been a big believer in the small things when you want something to look good. I have been working on this with my car and wanted to see what you guys think about how I have been doing. Today I tinted the reverse lights and added the black pearl emblems from courtesy Nissan. How does it look?

The Nissan burger has to be there to cover up the holes and the black pearl looks pretty good, but I would have left out the "350Z" for a cleaner looking decklid. Good job overall.

Nice job! It looks like you painted your door handles too, I've been thinking about doing this for a while now as well. How did it go? Is it holding up well?

Well my bad about the title lol I didn't realize it till after.
one: the exhaust is not stock, its nismo
2: just a gravel driveway, road is pavement
3: I tinted the lights by ordering them precut through bluebatmobile
4: the handles were painted matching black, I love them painted and they have held up well so far. Obviosly I had them painted professionally
5: the 350Z badge and 10mm spacers is things I have thought about but I am afraid of having to roll my fenders if I do the spacers

Sorry but its hard to do this on a blackberry. Thanks for the comments though. Ill change the title next time I get on a computer

I agree on the details, personal touches make it more... personal. If it wasn't a safety issue I'd say pull em and paint em but the overlay looks good.

I "de-ambered" the front of my Z, one my favorite projects.

Now I'm "de-silvering" the interior.

Don't bother with spacers. The way your wheels currently sit are perfect IMO.

btw I took the 350z off of the trunk lid and it looks a lot better but you can still slightly see the outline of where the emblems were even after I used goo gone. Any ideas???

I have the black pearl emblems myself, I was going to go with a no 350z rear badge but the lines where still there. It is faded paint, nothing you can do.

Thats why I ordered the black pearl 350z emblem.

BTW I asked earlier.....but what kind of tint did you use? a special vinyl or just reg tint, the reg tint I bought at pep boys wouldn't stick in the 90 degree curve the lamps have
