So.. back on subject lol I took my car to the shop and they got it all stripped down. I've taken it to this guy a few times and we've kinda become good friends, and today he actually offered me a job. I took it

Now i'll be getting paid to work on my own car

I'm going to get a seibon Ts carbon hood. Wrap the roof in carbon. Paint my wheels and door handles a dark gunmetal color, and some other small stuff along with lots of body work and respraying her. Also just put on some 255/285 Hankook v12s.

Kills me seeing this

Congrats on the job ! It was awesome before this mother nature thing happened ... it will be better than ever now. Whenever I get a weather alert for hail in the area I cringe.

Congrats on getting the job. The car was sexy & now it will become even sexier.

simota1 · 05-06-2012, 03:09 AM

congrats on getting the job... your car will be perfect because your personally working on it

LakeShow · 05-06-2012, 10:51 AM

Wow FlushNismo, that's scary to see! Hopefully everything will be 100% again.

Bigviet23 · 05-07-2012, 02:16 PM

that looks horrible, every time i hear hail i cringe and start thinking about what garages are available to park at. I know you'll love the opportunity to fix her up, congrats on the job too

Viera · 05-09-2012, 05:10 PM

Now that's what I call a blessing in disguise. Congrats on the job man! Can't wait to see your Z when its done!

Flushnismo · 05-23-2012, 08:58 PM

Okay I'm gonna try to post some pictures of the whole process my car is going through. For those of you that don't know, it got about 8k in hail damage and had to be repainted. I work at the body shop so I got a ton of extras thrown in at no extra cost.

I ordered a seibon hood & spoiler and also a carbon roof. We sanded down all the carbon fiber and put 3 coats of clear over it. I also removed all the 3m tape off of the roof and then panel bonded it to the car...it was a lot more flush this way and now it's permanent. We will cut and buff everything tomorrow so it'll look like glass

The wheels, door handles, emblem, and fang section are painted this cool gunmetal color.

Car should be done next week...it'll look completely different.

The car is completely torn down so all the windows and panels were already off.
