Red are an eyesore, bring too much attention to the lugs and take you away from the beauty of the wheels and the car.

Rays Gun Metal Lugs, that's better.

I've definitely heard a lot about the Mid TN Z Club. My best friend is from the area and used to be fairly involved...his Z is currently undergoing the final stages of a build over at the Crawford shop. Hopefully I can make it to Z Con this year. Be safe over there!

Blah, I think they look great! Sorry the car was a little dirty I have actually removed the Rays sticker and when I get back the Rims are getting powder coated black.

My first mod was a RDX antenna which I bought and put on today. I also gave the car a quick detail (clay and P21S 100% carnauba) and polished the tips...looks SO much better. I shouldn't really say quick though...5+ hrs. There was lots of contamination on the paint.

I have been wanting to ask.. did anyone else receive their nismo with rubbed out paint.. I can just see where the cut threw some orange peel. It is very clear that it was cut into before delivery.. I also see a little spot on the roof were they did a little touch up. It is cut down really well.. I know the dealer did not do it..

Clay is awesome.. Your car looks great..

Yes but very dangerous. Too much traffic on there usually. At one Z cruise there was a head on collision.

You're fine man! I'm not sure I follow what you're saying though. My paint was pretty consistent looking.

Thanks! I'll get the car up there once the weather is a little more "spirited driving" friendly.

Did you notice any areas where it has been rubbed out. I have no orange peel at all. It had some and I can see where they wet sanded it out.. Mine looks fantastic ..
