Default Help me design my car

My car as it sits now.



I'd like to change the look some. I want to black it out more and add a pop of bright green but not sure how to pull it off without looking stupid.

Is is what I'm looking for somewhat, at least this style

^^^ that. Maybe black out the TA stripe and get green lug nuts and paint the side mirrors the same green; that seems to be popular.

I vote for lowering the car so we don't see so much of the tops of the tires, and then adding a more aggressive side skirt (maybe Chargespeed bottomline) to tie the Aerosync front to the TS-style rear diffuser. Then work on color scheme.

Not sure if this is the advice you were looking for, but it's the advice you need.

I was actually thinking some gloss black TE37s with bright green stickers with a BBK that's powder coated the same green. That's the only color I could come up with without making it look tacky.

Oh for those that said lower and side skirts. It's in the works. The pic is a little old because I now have blacked out innards for the headlights and the reverse and tail lights.

Moved to the Photoshop thread so someone could mock it up for you

I would suggest you keep it as you have it now, looks really good!

Like what has been mentioned, black out the TA red stripe, green lugs and green BBK. Green seats perhaps?

Just came across these pictures. No on the graphics, but you can paint a Nismo v1 lip, sideskirts, and rear add-ons lime gren. This one has a green BBK as well.





Good luck.

Also it looks like you have the Aerosync front bumper, which basically "smoothed out"/blended the JDM Nismo v1 lip onto the bumper. Since there isn't a natural "break" anymore, not sure how it will look two-tone black/lime-green.

Default Some chops for ya

I believe this is what you're going for... no?



haha just playin'

here are some legitimate chops- food for thought.
I'm not saying that all of these combos/choices would look good but maybe they'll inspire you!






















P.S. TedB350z- that's a clean job; tinted headlights look great
