If you don't mind answering, how much are you paying for the color change?

jealous of your oem wheels. not jealous of your paint selection. please pull the engine
and paint the bay, pull the fenders/bumpers and skirts too. if you do not do the repaint
properly you're absolutely destroying an already beautiful car. check on work in progress
and post photos.

good luck and godspeed

30mm spacers front 32 rear , fenders slightly pulled , dropped on sportlines , as far as the paintjob 4.5k without engine pulled minor fender work needed., 5.5k with the engine pulled out. I might just go with the lexus pearl white if I decide not to take the engine out, not sure yet. ill take a proper photos once done.

^^It looks good, someone has already done it.

Hopefully OP, you get a kit and rims to complete to look though. The paint job on a stock Z may might be very flattering

I would not repaint my car to get another stock color, first of all. Secondly, I hope your painter is good because I have dealt with some shady *** painters. Third, If you are going to do it, do it right or not at all.

Every time I think about painting my car a different color, it seems to make more sense to sell my Z and pick up another one in a different color.

Regardless, good luck to the OP, I hope it turns out well for you!
