Calvin 04-18-2011 02:27 AM

x2, I think you should do a dark bronze color for your new wheels if possible as black is played out but your car would definitely be suited to a darker wheel.

SeeyaBud86 04-18-2011 10:33 AM

Don't do it. For some reason it looks too plain. Match your door handles to rims or PW.

haha i might just keep it how the way it is, i'll test diff things out sometime this week. and post some pictures =)

Mr&Mrs 04-18-2011 06:43 PM

Leave side markers.

I myself love the shaved look "giggity"

See how the wheels look stock color before you paint them, post a pic that way and do a poll of your choices so we can all help.

I think gunmetal face and a color matched PW lip would look sick.

Mr&Mrs 04-18-2011 09:54 PM

You said you went step lip too, so do the inner step PW and leave the outside polished. Ooooo that would make the dynamite boom!

Calvin 04-18-2011 10:34 PM

haha i'll see whatsup gonna do some photoshopping this weekend

Calvin 04-21-2011 10:09 AM

What do you guys think of brushed finish?

Husky Downs 04-21-2011 11:45 AM

Does anybody know where I can get a spoiler like his in Southern California and installed?

NewYorkJon34 04-21-2011 11:53 AM

You mean the mine's add-on? gotta order it, not sure how many weeks it would take to recieve

Calvin 04-21-2011 11:57 AM

^Yeah, you have to order this, it's the 'Mines Add-on Spoiler'
It took me about 2 month-ish, if I remember correctly to receive this.

But installation is REALLY simple, clean your original spoiler form grease and oil,
Attach the 3m Double-sided tape that is provided from Mines,
Align the spoiler and attach it to your OEM spoiler,
Drill in the bolts. :)
But if you want to get it installed by a shop, I'm pretty sure any shops in your area will be able to install it for you =)

Mr&Mrs 04-21-2011 12:04 PM

Wheres the photoshops bro?!

Great shots Calvin! Just outta curiosity, what made you paint the front bumper all PW, instead of leaving the black accent? I preferred it the other way, but still looks great :tup:

Haha I had to repaint the bumper, but the shop forgot to paint in the black accent back in ;\
I loved the accent also, most likely will redo the accents sooner or later, been lazy and busy with school ;\

Thanks for the compliment !:)

370Z JT 04-22-2011 12:05 AM

Nice Calvin. Did the painter blend in the paint with the doors and fenders hood? Or painted the kit only.
