Default Pics|Magnetic Black NISMO All Cleaned Up

I picked the car up this past weekend, and I finally got around to giving it a good solid cleaning. It still needs a good polish, but I don't really have the time or motivation to do it right now so I just clayed it (lots of contamination...made baby jesus cry ), polished the tips, put some P21S 100% carnauba on there and called it a day. I also added my first mod...RDX antenna. Much better!

it might just be the way the pictures make it look but the hood looks likes its a different type of black from the rest of the car.

Yeah, I have plans...always have plans. But I'm going to try to ease into this one. I really love the car exactly the way it is. I'll do a few things here and there.

Thanks man! I'm in a middle TN a pretty good bit...I'll let you know if I'm going to be in the area with the Z.

Right now, I'm debating whether or not to do clear reflectors. I had planned to do a JDM bumper, but I'm not sure what to do about the little fender lips that appear to be present on all JDM bumpers...I originally thought they were just on the 380RS.

I'm also debating the exhaust setup. I've had a loud exhaust on my car for the last 5 years...I'm really liking the more reserved sound of the stock exhaust. I might just go with Crawford HFC's and see how it sounds. I had originally planned to go with the Motordyne Shockwave. If I decide I want aftermarket but a bit toned down, I think I'll give Fujitsubo a go...if it fits with the rear valence.

My ultimate goal--if I decide this car's a keeper--would be a 3.8 build.

I had a polarizing filter on the camera...shifts reflections and changes hues slightly.
