Wait for more pics by Thursday

Def flows well! I like it!

How was the front install? Saw others post the liner pieces and underside plastic not lining up.

I would say 90% of the reason I've been stuck on a NISMO is I love the body of it...other then that, I'd be swapping exhaust, wheels and suspension anyways... Starting to think I should just get a sport model and then UpRev it once I do all the mods? Thoughts?

I didn't want to hassle with hacking and modifying existing pieces to make this work so I bought the front bumper conversion package from Z1 (which includes Zspeed aluminum undershroud)

$1400-? That's actually not bad....

I'm debating between buying a white Nismo, or a 40th ann Graphite and doing the swap on it.
I know I 100% want the nismo front/kit, but stuck on the color, and if an actual "nismo" is worth it if I'm going ot swap the exhaust, intakes, and wheels anyways....

IMO, real NISMO is not worth it if you are going to swap the exhaust, intakes and wheels. Remember the actual NISMO does not come as well equipped as the touring version (interior wise).

It's up to you, but I think 40th Ann Graphite is unique as it is and it's an awesome color to go by.

If I was in your shoes, I'd pick 40th Ann.

If you asked me before the pictures were posted I would not have thought it would look that good but after seeing the pictures I must say it looks damn nice

I've really been thinking about it. Been conversing with Z-Na who just traded his 40th in because I was pretty close to purchasing his but then got stuck on a white Nismo.

After owning a black G37 and a black G35 before that, I'm just concerned with the upkeep of another dark color. I just think white takes abuse much better then any darker color. THIS is my #1 concern between the two....

here's the promised side view.

cooltoy · 03-21-2013, 07:32 PM

How come the color difference?

sinceday1 · 03-21-2013, 08:22 PM

The slight color difference is due to pearl white tri-coat mayhem. It's not as noticeable with naked eyes. I think my phone camera picks up color difference better than my eyes.

Test shot with my DSLR shows negligible color difference between the fender and my front bumper. If I wanted a perfect match, it would cost nearly 3x more as I would have to blend both fenders and the hood.

I like this more than a complete Amuse kit all around. Very tasteful mod!

Off topic: is that a black wrap on the fender or a dual tone?
