New 2010 White 370Z owner

Mav · 03-31-2010, 06:55 AM

Love the car. I've always wanted a Z since the 80's... and now I have one! Already considering mods, such as painting door handles and rear fog light cover white, powder coating wheels black + a NX kit. Not sure bout the nitrous yet b/c of warranty issues but definitely want to go with paint and powder coating. Other than that the car is perfection IMO!

I posted in the photoshop section b/c I can't seem to find a pic of a white Z with white door handles and stock wheels powder coated... Anyone have one?

Thanks

What's a speed shield??? Is there a store or company specializing in the 370?

vipor · 03-31-2010, 11:10 AM

Speed Shield is another name for Clear Bra. 3M has actually branded "Clear Bra" so other brands use different names.

Mav · 03-31-2010, 11:12 AM

cool. advantages over just keeping a good coat of wax on the front end?

Mav · 03-31-2010, 11:17 AM

So basically it's a clear wrap, that protects from rock chips, etc?

vipor · 03-31-2010, 11:27 AM

Speed Shield | Paint Protection Film | Dallas, Texas

Oh, what - you think you're better just because you're a white 370z owner?

vipor · 03-31-2010, 11:41 AM

White is right!
