Default Roadster with Nismo Rays Wheels...ps anybody?

Hello...first post here.

Have an 08 G35S Sedan...first Nissan in a long, long time. Previously had Volvo S60R and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Got rid of both for the G. Love it.

I'm a moderate customizer...and my lease is up in a few months. Been trying to decided between 370Roadster and G37S Coupe.

Drove the roadster yesterday...made up my mind.

Now i start making my "to do" list. I'll be buying loaded with nav, sports, touring...so not that much to do...

Custom Tinted Tails/Headlights
Maybe iron man lights
Dynamat
and probably Nismo Rays wheels.

Anyone good at photoshop and can put them on a Plat Graph or Bil Silver for me? I suck at PS.

Thanks!

If I have some time tonight I'll try to chop this together quickly for you. I'm not a pro at PS but I've got some skills.

About tinting your lights, look into a company that does speedshield (clear bra) installations. For example:

Thanks man...much appreciated. I've fallen for the Nismo wheel i see on the nismos...think it will take the roadster up a notch.

I think i might try something fun with the tint and tint jsut the top half of the boomarang to where the tail is a bit like a porsche...there the body line and the lamp follow each other...if that makes sense...

Thanks for the Photoshop again!

I'm going to drive a loaded Silver today. I need to see both in person before i decide. there are VERY Few in CA now.

Black was the easiest, so here's my idea stretch for this.. Nismo body kit too

I like this Z roadster with the top up and the previous ZR with the top down. The coupe just looks so much more contoured. As much as I wanted to buy a roadster I just can't get myself to pull the trigger.

I have imagined the 370Z roadster with the nismo body kit (no wing). I think that would be the sexiest combo on this vehicle. I tried to photoshop some real life pics that i found on cars.com but I never could get it right since my photoshop skills are sub par at best.

I'll delete the wing next time I hop on the comp. Probabably do a BS instead of MB. I'll try do get a shot of one with the top up too.

It's the old "Points for Pics" scam! First they get you hooked for free. Then, when you're jonesing for your next pic fix, out comes the true cost!
