Default New Year New Look (Preview shots)

Cleaned the Z today and decided to post pics of the paint job and new rear/front end. Chargespeed v1 front, Amuse sides/ Strosek rear. Custom Pearl white paint job. For the guys that are going to ask about the offsets +12F ,+7R rolled R fenders ofcourse. A real photoshoot is in the near future once i get a buff, and MAYBE some carbon. The inspiration for the color was the JDM "antique white" i saw on the O.G. gtr's. Excuse the shadow, this is just a preview so i didnt care

What the z looked like shortly before:







Today:

nice overall. i was warned about fitment of authentic chargespeed.
your thoughts? i have a feeling the color choice brings out some
line issues. thanks for painting the mesh. why not remove your
windshield wiper too?

I really like the back bumper but i like your old front bumper better than the new one. Another thing i would have just kept the car silver and put a supercharger on the car rather than just get the car painted white.

thanks for comments guys I'm at Nissan getting work done, I loved my amuse but there's too many out there, 275's in the rear and the paint isn't flat at all alot of pearl and alot of clear just needs a proper buff (shop got shut down) the chargespeed canards are next along with a suspension rebuild this spring. as for the super charger, I doubt I can find one for free, paintjob was free at tpr autobody since i did all the prep work myself

should've left some black accents on your new chargespeed front bumper.. your old amuse black / silver front gave it more contrast / detail..
