:tup::tup: I received 4-5 PMs today saying the calendars has arrived...!


Today is such a great Monday... :tup:

Everything arrived... :happydance:

alchenga_troll = :facepalm:

:ugh2: :confused: why not get your base wheels powder-coated? Why buy new when you already have good looking wheels? :confused: did you already consider and reject that?
Lol!! Fun visual.....:tup::bowrofl:

I am considering putting this^ as my sig.... :bowrofl::bowrofl:

Since I am useful and on-topic all the time....

Hi Mr.Alconvertable :hello:

:yum: yummy but deadly when you drink w Japanese and small glass that has no bottom:tup:

This pop up in my mind right away.....:

:icon18::icon18:

no worry Ms.BC20, the Kirin is a Japanese beer, not Sake... :icon17:

but :yum::yum: on both

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Yup. I don't like the base look.

I have to run the spacers until I can go back to stock studs.

Thank you for the thumbs-up.

Wow! Thank you guys. :tiphat:

Not lowered anymore.

My car is Gun Metallic (KAD).

My rims are 40th Anniversary Quartz (KAV).

Spacers will be removed when new stock studs installed on Saturday.

automotivetouchup.com is where Mr. Gurneyeagle pointed me when I was looking for my KAD. I assume that is also where he got his KAV for his wheels unless the shop that did the work got it.

Four cans sounds about right. I'll definitely need more clear coat and primer. I'll probably do this in the spring, but I think I've got my direction. Thank you, Mr. Kenchan :tiphat:

basically it's stock height and stock offset to-be :tup:

and thank you to Mr. Gurneyeagle for his fantastic looking car for inspiration :tup:

Seriously, the car looks amazing :yum:

and last, but certainly not least, big thank you to Mr. Alcheng for the calendars I received today :tiphat: I put one in the office, one in the garage, and one in the home office :tup:

And now you also know when's Pint and Isamu's B-day... :icon17::icon17:

Have somebody photoshop it just to see:tup:

The paint is available from these guys:

2010 Nissan 370Z Touch Up Paint Colors

You have to search in model year 2010.

I would hold off painting the fangs and door handles KAV until you see the color in person. Personally, I think door handles should be body colored and the fangs black. Anything else reminds me of a mid-70's GM two tone atrocity.

Actually came across a Pshop thread on the forum with some shopped base rims. BUT....just found out hubby's job is going bye bye on April 8th. 6 years with the company out the window. Now I need to start having an anxiety attack.

Thank you sir! :tiphat:

just got back from Zero Dark Thirty... great flick!

You didn't watch The Hobbit, right??

Yes, 2010 was the only year for KAV. I was really confused for a second when I didn't see the KAD color, even though I literally have a can in my garage right now, but then I remembered it was a new color in 2011. I believe both of them are simply described as "Grey Metallic" on the site, but just go by the paint codes.

I definitely will be purchasing a single can to check it out first. I am wondering myself about the finished product - I wish I were patient enough to sit down and photoshop some pics to get a better idea. I'll wind up procrastinating the whole project if I don't talk myself into it. But of course, I also want to know that I'm going to like it :ugh2:

I love these two shots.. I used them a lot in my photoshops :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

no, I went to see Zero Dark Thirty lol

and yours... how come you live in the wrong country :confused: :rofl2:

mine would have been the first birthday on there (Feb 5), but I guess I understand... after all, I didn't have a Z featured in the calendar... of course, I didn't submit a photo either :icon17: maybe next year :tup:

:hello: all

I'm home from work. days was busy :ugh2:
How is everyone?

:hello: Zman

Kick up your feet and relax a bit in the best thread on the net :tup:

I think a beer is being called for here!

:iagree:

:eek: :shakes head: sigh.
:tup: photo shop some new wheel colors for Pint-may make her smile:tup:
:iagree: x 2 :tup: :)

Dear Ms. Pint,


[DISCUSSION]Blaze Blue Plasti-dip.[/DISCUSSION]


Sincerely,

Your Friendly, Neighborhood, Z Mod Install Helper :icon17:

You really need to see the colors together, especially KAV in the daylight. As 40th owners can attest to (mr. onzedge), the color takes on different qualities depending on the light. That's why I think it makes such a great wheel color.

Apologies for coming off a little strong with the two tone comment. My only point is that it's a lot harder to reverse a painting decision. I'm just not sure the fang area would look good in any color other than flat black. I've seen them painted both silver and white and didn't care for it. Sometimes you can go a little too far in the strive to be unique/different.

But that's just me, and I certainly have no exclusive on color choice. For all the nice compliments received today, I'm sure there are a number of folks who think it looks like a clown car.

If you take your time with the prep, there is no reason not to paint your wheels yourself. Mine had two different coats of paint on them, and needed to be fully stripped, that's why I had R&S Solutions here in Houston do the work. They are fantastic to work with. :tup:

The 18's look great.

m. pint, I would strongly suggest you have your wheels painted the blue color you like, and continue to save for your new wheels. The suggestion of picking up a set of Sport or Nismo wheels is an excellent idea.

You can easily get a set of Sport wheels with tires for $1,000. Again, patience is a virtue. Be smart and you will be happier in the long run.

Needs to be darker! And I no longer want just blue.

Use this instead:

Dupli-Color :: Metalcast

We don't have enough people to mess-up the Z community in Canada, you know, only Mr.GaleForce and me is not enough... :icon14:

And Mr.GaleForce being sucked into the blowjob thing recently isn't helping too... :icon14::icon14:

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:


:hello: ZMan. Grab and beer and :postwhore:

it helps...!
