Even my 28" monitor on high resolution couldn't handle the pictures.. Like someone said the paint seems terrible, did you recently have the entire car repainted? It has no depth at all.

+1 im glad im not the only one that realized that the paint is poorly done and you can easily see sanding marks throughout the panels. That ruins the car for me if the paint looks like ****.

I give you A for effort but you have to re-think your overall goal. I suggest you get yourself some 30 mm spacers all around to improve the stance. Second the paint on Nissans suck period but your paint looks a bit damaged. I would consider getting the Z painted professionally. Other than that it seems you are not considering any performance mods, correct? If that's the case great so you can concentrate your money on taking care of the outside first. Good luck mate!

I find it doesnt matter if you take a vehicle to gm, ford, nissan, honda, toyota, dealership to be repainted (eg. accident repair or w/e) they do an absolute terrible job, they are all about charging the insurance huge and doing as quick as job as possible...

That is all
seriously, some of those pics were just downright horrible. I mean some of them were even out of focus. No editing, which I guess can be overlooked, but cmon, it was getting a little crazy.

I know my paint is bad but it is not as bad as it seems in the pics. I didnt cheap out on the paint job... previous owner.

As far as performence, i got the basics.
Full exhaust
Nismo LSD
Pop Charger
Crawford Intake as soon as it gets to me...
HKS Coilovers.

Took a break from performence at the moment.
My next priority is BBK.

I will look into some spacers... im not sure my front could fit anything as they get pretty tucked in there but 30 mm i can definately use in the rear.

- Horrible offsets .... thanks for the suggestion

- Polish your headlights .... already got 06+ to relace with

- Dull taillight overlays or spray ruins it ... already know.. i got screwed with a really shitty can of clear that sprayed like ****. I was pissed. Will be redoing

- Horrible paint job on the front fender near the Z logo ... already know... it bugs me to but not noticable till you up on it

- Ugly girls ... well i will agree that one of them is

- Resize your freaking pictures! ... done... sorry everybody

- Do you really have to post every picture you took? It was 55 out of 400. With a shitty camera.

It was my first opportunity with a clean car and time in a long time. I mentioned i will be doing a better session with a better camera once i fixed some flaws... head lights... tail lights. It wont be as srutanizing. I literally am doing these thing now, not day dreaming about 06 head lights. I know all these problems.

Aside from paint and 3cm of space to spare in my wheels.... come on.
