I think doin the emblems would look good. Door handles too but I hear what you are saying about the texture. Just looked at your pics again inside, was in the sun before and had mega glare. Rims look damn good +1. Blank rep from my Droid.

I'm thinking about putting a regular clear coat on top of the plasti dip on the wheels to give it a smooth texture. It will be more difficult to remove, but I don't plan on removing it anytime soon. It will also be easier to clean with a smooth surface.

Shahid, you've been making some great cost efficient mods that are turning out great. Congrats!

Thanks Jon! Being an engineering student short on cash really helps you come up with some of these great ideas. My car is proof that you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on a full body kit and aftermarket wheels to set your car's looks apart from others. My car looks super modified with just a few subtle changes, which is what I love about it.

Great job on the wheels ! Looks killer. Did you do them on the car, or take them off ? I am guessing off since it looks like you got all of the inside wheel parts done as well ...

Yeah I took them off the car. I thought about doing it with the wheels on the car, but it would have been much more of a PITA to mask off the brakes/rotors with the wheels still on.

Thanks! They actually look way better in person than in the pics.

All it took was like $50 bucks (can probably be done with $30-40) and a couple hours of time.

Looks good man! This is next on my list of things to do, I'm trying to get all the cheap stuff out of the way so I feel like I've accomplished something

That's exactly what I did......only because I don't have the money for the expensive stuff yet

After hearing your car in person with the HFC's paired with CBE I think I may go this route as well.

I do drive the Altima all week to work now and the Z has been turned into a weekend car so I can live with the extra noise in exchange for more POWAH!!!

Gonna have to budget 300 for the HFC and another 600 for the tune afterwards now.

I knew you wouldn't be able to resist. Might have to budget more for the HFC if you aren't planning on installing them yourself. If you are planning on installing them yourself, good luck and have fun
