It even looks like he has positive camber in the front.

Get over it.

The car looks beautiful, mine also is PPW & I have had to repaint the hood the drivers fender so I know what you are talking about with the paint matching. Luckily I painted when the car was less than 1 year old, so the color is pretty close.

You on the other hand look like you used the Pearl Ivory color used on the Infinitis for the nose & a$$ end, with the PPW from NiSSan. Still looks nice kinda a nice contrast.

Sorry darling!!!!

We drive nice cars & we pay attention to details, so I noticed big deal.


Maybe you should talk up the 2 tone scheme, they play off each other very well.
You do realize that light will always reflect differently between fiberglass and metal right? If you look at the car in person, you will not be able to tell the paint is different.

And regarding your "nose *** rear" comment, the pictures were taken with a wide angle lens, things are obviously going to be skewed.

Thanks for your useless comments none the less...I think.

Amazing thread in general. I would have never imagined a thread like this would have come from this forum.

Usually the A**holes come out in abundance to take pot shots at any rim that is larger than an 18 and/or chrome. Where are the racist with their "rice" this and "ghetto" that comments???

Maybe someday I will see the car in person & possibly my eyes will fail to see color differences

I don't believe I ever made any comment about the car being skewed, just wondering if because a wide angle lens was used my eyes would not be able to see a color difference. Can't you see the color difference, or have your eyes compensated for the wide angle lens used???
Thanks for your useless comments none the less...I think.
Read my comments: I NEVER said the car did not look good, I even paid a nice compliment to the car, understanding that paint matching is difficult if not impossible at best. Damn another member with his panties in a bunch because my surgically corrected eyes see a great paint job, with ever so slight color differences!!

It's not a matter of my camber being "bad" per say, its about the style I was trying to achieve

No need to show your *** noob.
Sorry bud, seen plenty of people be able to match PPW to the point it is better matched than OEM between panels. if you think that kit is matched well enough to the oem panels, then please advise everyone which shop you work at so other Z owners can avoid it.

My brother painted a PPW bumper for a local and it was DEAD on... and he only has a 9 month tech degree from wyotech in autobody repair with minimal time spent in painting. You just have to have a bit of skill mixing paint and ensure the proper match by spraying test panels. PPW is difficult to match, but that is no excuse to settle for a "close enough" paint match

Im gonna start a b.s. arguement over this. Lets try to keep this OT, not about paint work. Again, like Urban said, the camera lens also had to do with colors not matching well. If you want to start a pissing contest over paint work, PM me.


If you want to start a pissing contest, you wont win.

Fact is, PPW is not THAT hard to match. What we see in the pics is not acceptable paint matching if done by a reputable body shop. If you say that it is, you sir are a hack

For those of you who are interested in VIP style, check out new suspension piece to give you crazy negative camber (or at least all the negative camber you could want without screwing up toe too badly)!

Best of all, it pulls the top of the wheel in instead of kicking the bottom of the wheel out like all of the rear "camber" crap available right now.

Booyeah, finally!
