Woah...what's the history of the car (in general, but mainly WRT to the wrap)?

congrats!

I bought the car in Gainesville Georgia while visiting my family. I had been looking for a manual Nismo, but was very happy with the auto with paddle shifters. Plus, my wife can drive it if she wants. :-)

The wrap was on the car when I bought it, and I used it to my advantage to negotiate the price. I did some research on the wrap, and found that it was inspired by a Japanese Anime character from Mobile Suit Gundam. It is really not my style, so I am in the process of removing the wrap and installing an aFe Power Takeda Attack Stage-2 Pro 370Z Cold Air Intake.

Thanks, James

I uploaded some updated pictures of the Z after I removed the vinyl wrap. The old wrap pulled paint off the front bumper, so I tried to repaint it but it looked terrible so I had to re-wrap it with Carbon Fiber vinyl until I can get it professionally painted.

Welcome to the club. Im 2017 Nismo as well. Black

BTW, are the door handles Chrome or Gun metallic in color?

ZoomZ,

The door handles are Gun Metal in color. I have thought about taking them off and seeing if I can polish them with my Dremel and some polishing compound to see if they will "shine up".

Love how it looks without the wrap. Im sorry, I was not a fan of the wrap. The Silver is beautiful!

I wouldn't do that. I hate the chrome ones.

It appears that the previous owner may have swapped these to the 2018+ years.

2017 was the last year they had the "chrome" handles. On Nismo anyway.

They added the Gunmetal handles and trunk release button/mechanism for 2018. Also, went to Dunlop Tires vs Bridgstone Potenza (Canada anyway)
