New 2010 White 370Z owner
 

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

Congrats on the new Z. White is an awesome color

Grats on the new purchase man and welcome :hello:

Thanks. Just got back from the body shop... Turn key job to remove door handles and the black fog light thingy on the rear bumper and paint them white... $225. Scheduled appt to Git-R-Done! :tup:

Now I just gotta find a reputable powder coater... :rock:

congrats and welcome aboard!!!!!

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

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

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

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

this is a local shop i spoke with about it. they have a lot of info on their site:

Speed Shield | Paint Protection Film | Dallas, Texas

Congrats and welcome!

Oh, what - you think you're better just because you're a white 370z owner? :rofl2:

White is right!

Congrats on the purchase! Post up pics on this when finished.

ya, I'm interested to see the color-matched handles, I think it'll look great :tup:

welcome

White is tight.. but NOTHING shines better than Black!
:tup:

I will post pics but it's gonna be a few weeks. My body shop appt is on April 19th. Your car pics and "seeyabud86" pics gave the inspiration to do the black wheels and I should have them done before the 19th. To me the color match door handles is a no-brainer. It just doesn't look right with Silver although they are complimented by the Silver wheels. Most high-end cars and or sports cars in general have color matched handles....

Congrats man.

Welcome! Can't wait to see pics

welcome

Let the games begin! Headed to the tire shop in the morning and then I'm off to the powder coater!!!

What's the best black powder coat finish? The shop told me not to go with gloss black, instead recommended semi-gloss. What's you guys' experience in this area?

Also I noticed the calipers are a metallic graphite color.... Anyone know if that color is available in power coating...?

I would suggest a 20% gloss which is more of a satin/matte finish. Coming from personal experience, gloss black kinda washes out the Pearl white and makes it look dingy.

Not sure on the Gunmetal gray the calipers come in, but I think the satin black will look better, especially if you black out the headlights.

Thanks!
