Default Black and Blue Transformation

I finally finished my car's transformation to my new "Black and Blue" theme with the addition of black door handles. The handles are follow up to my matte black Volk G2s and black Z emblems. What do you think?

Before:






After:

Thanks! The mesh actually looks better in person. And the license plate is one of my personal favorites.

Thanks! I've been thinking about changing the reflectors to smoke. We'll see.

Thanks! I like that it looks more aggressive now than before.

No I sold the 370Z last summer. Replaced it with this. There is just something about a turbo (or in this case a twin turbo) that's hard to resist.

Blue is my fav color.

As for the Z, it looks good but now you have to get rid of all the "white" to match your black/blue theme.

The black G2s do look sort of like the original track wheels, but wider and in black. Ironically I had a set of those original track wheels at one time.

Of course I've had six different sets of wheels for the car since I've owned it. I guess I'm a certified wheel *****.

The135i is a nice car. And it's fun to drive too with the right suspension modifications. I've finally got it set up the way I like it.
