Sup guys my name is Jacob, just bought a new 08 350Z two weeks ago. I got the exhaust, intake, tint, and wheels powder coated as of now. Which, I got the wheels done for $200 at Ace Powder Coating. Sorry, the car is dirty but I couldn't wait. This would be my first Z33 but I had a Z32 but it was killed.

welcome son_jaoku,

Nice looking PPW. You mentioned an exhaust, but it looks like the stock one on. I like your powder coating in the OEMs.

I paid some guy $200 and he did everything for me. I kinda of disappointed the way it came out. I meet some one who can do them better and it looks like glass.

It's a custom exhaust. Thanks, the guys name is Fletcher (972) 487-0567. He can do any color you want.

I've never done it myself, but everyone that I've met used a tinting paint from a spray can from a hobby place, Hobby Lobby, Joann's, Michaels, etc. Start slow and let dry. The more you spray, the darker it gets.

I think I saw you driving down Galloway a few weeks ago. I have a silver 2007 and waved, but it was at night and my tint was probably too dark...

Anywho...welcome! Im out in Mesquite (technically Sunnyvale).

Don't care for the black outs on the rear lights. But I do like the wheels in black. Congrats on the Z!
