Sure did. I don't have a direct shot from behind though. Both look great and I could not be happier on how it looks.

all these grey 370's with the blacked out fangs and valances/skirts etc look sweet!

OP, your Powder coated Nismo wheels look awesome and match the car perfectly.

i think the new in is to wrap it with the 3M CF sheets. both front fang and rear valance.

Thanks for the write up did my rear today in satin black, I think I might do the fangs in flat black, I may redo the rear flat black as well. I did not add clear coat yet didnt have time.

I kinda like it in flat black without the clear!

I just finished doing both the fangs and the rear valance. Two people, two hours. Most of the time was spent taping everything out. I'll know tomorrow if I got paint in the wrong places. Pics once the weather is nicer.

Great write up, very helpful.

How long after the final coat do you need to wait before driving the car?

lochness · 05-07-2011, 05:39 PM

I've taken off all the tape but I'm waiting about a day and half before I drive it. Its looking good so far.

The guy across the street started mowing his lawn and was kicking up dust, so I drove down the street to a parking lot and finished spraying on the clear coat there. I waited about 30 min to dry, then drove off and never looked back :-)

I've had it done for almost 2 years and 20k miles, no more rock chips or damage then the original surrounding paint. :-)

Nice

tjlazer · 05-07-2011, 06:48 PM

How has the front fangs held up to the rock chips OP?

lochness · 05-08-2011, 08:48 PM

Here's a couple pics. Still need to do a little bit of touching up. It looks really good.
