I had a past forum member paint the insides Magnetic Black. Unfortunately he's since been banned and have not heard from him.

There are other's that are able to do this mod and I believe there is a DIY thread on the forums.

No it isn't Nismo V2, although I almost went that route. The front bumper is from ASM.

Here is the thread where I first found out about ASM's offerings:

19s in F9.5 +22 and R10.5 +15.











From other forum members that have much nicer cameras and better photo skills.




Enjoy.

Appreciate the advice. I'll keep it in mind for future photos. Now you got any advice on why the color of the sky is white instead of the blue that it was? LOL!

Great improvement from before. What size tires are on the rear? They look stretched. Maybe running wider tires would give the rear a better stance.

very very NICE combo with the front, skirts and rear! i'm all about loud colors (gold car, green wheels) so black on black isn't really my thing but damn, i love yours!!! the red calipers compliment the overall look too... looks exotic!

very menacing!

Awesome upgrade on the wheels. Your Z looks hot, specially the Chargespeed rear bumper. The one area for improvement would be the sideskirts. The Nismo sides have never grown on me.

Yeah, i'm glad I decided to get the handles painted. Even had them clear bra'd so that they don't get all messed up from long fingernails and rings.

.... well hopefully i'll have passengers with long fingernails opening up the passenger side from time to time...

They are 265/35. I plan on running a wider tire when these need replaced.

You aren't the first one to state this. I checked a bunch of different skirts out and the Nismo JDM sides are exactly what I was looking for.

I like 'em and am quite happy with them. But, wondering what other skirts would you have gone with for this project?


Appreciate the compliments guys. Hope to have a couple more photos (hopefully better) after this weekend if the weather cooperates.
