It is with great regret that I wasn't forced to give up an arm, leg, and $5000 for new set of wheels like the cool kids

My rims did not come out as glossy as I would have hoped, but despite the negative things 99% of the forum had to say about painting calipers and dipping stock wheels & emblems,
I really like how it came out, especially since this whole project only cost me $20.

Anyways, my Halloween Theme is nearly complete, Cheers!

 

Wow that's pretty special. Far to special for this thread - https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....56909&page=144 - so I'm glad you made a new one.

Sigh. Maybe that was a bit harsh. Sorry haha

 

I don't see what spray painting stock wheels and emblems have to do with $5,000 wheels. You obviously have different priorities with how you modify your sports car...like color-matched speaker boxes.

 

What do you want us to say?

 

Watch it, bro. Obviously you dunno what you is talking bout.

-painted calipers...........-10ft stopping distance
-color matched subs......+15hp
-plasti-dipped wheels.....+35hp
-plasti-dipped badges.....+5hp each

 

That was the previous owner not me
Personally I thought it was a bit tacky but somehow I'm still able to sleep at night.

As for the 5k Wheels, it was an attempted implication that "the more expensive something is the better" doesn't mean jack shaz

Take it for what you will




FINALLY, someone who gets it!
Haha.

 

Congrats.

 

my wheels were only 750 they have good offsets and look nice and i can put a bigger tire so i got more out of my 750 then plati dip could ever help you lil 17's

 

You're bragging about how you dropped $750 vs my $20?
You are clearly the winner there bud, a $730 winner, if I may.

How will I live with myself, knowing that I could've wasted an additional $700!!

 

not a fan

 

Are those three pictures the 'before' pictures?

 

If you knew anything about tires, offsets and rotational mass - you'd understand that it wasn't a waste of $730. Your plastidip accomplished nothing performance-related therefore the only one who wasted money is you.

 

Your subs are crooked.

 

take this to the honda forums, maybe you'll get some positive feed back there.

 

ill tell you what when your ready for some real parts hmu im show u have the big boys roll i myself do it on 19's wheels with 275's in the rear to help my uses all my 299.9whp

 

save some money to actually buy something worthwhile and nobody cares about plastidip

 

omg, please send me link to plastidip!

 

God I'm slitting my wrist if this what the Z has come too.

 

Plasti dipped wheels/emblems and painted calipers scream "im a cheap *** with too much time on my hands!"

i guess if your into that sort of thing more power to you

 

lmao tell me about it, main reason i sold my Z last year

nowadays $750 set of wheels for the Z is too expensive So they head to the nearest arts and crafts store for mods Maybe if the OP wasn't hating on people who actually spent $ and time on their Z, this wouldn't be so bad.
