dont go with black!!!!!!!!!!! if its gonna be painted change it up go with i nice blue and get bronze or gold wheels. if u went with black it wont be as noticable that u did something to the car then going with blue or so.

[JN210]

yes I get to choose the wheels, as for color I want a metalic blue, or a 350Z bronze? I do agree, keeping it black would give a less noticeable change, I really like blue...blue with bronze maybe?..or chrome and black?

I got an idea...blue with a two tone of silver with black wheels and chrome lip?

[KA-T_240]

blue with a dark silver(almost gunmetalish) would be sick!

[JN210]

mmm, I like it...now idk what would go good as far as wheels?...chrome with black perhaps?

[Slowica]

Don't with chrome. the only chrome that should be on the wheel would be the lip imo. As for the paint scheme thats really all up to. like everyone has said though less is more. go to over the top and it will just be another one of those cars that tried to hard and failed.

[JN210]

yep, two tone blue and silver with the black wheels with chrome lip. Can anyone find me a good example of that color scheme?

[z31]

I tend to like shiny wheels. Boyd coddington junkyard dog.

Jeff, black top with red, white, or silver bottom.

Or just black would look good. My .02 cents. :icon_bigsmurf:

[beachbum_jon]

that black in silver that z31 posted up looks pretty sweet. but if you really wanted a single tone paint job, tell them that. i mean the car IS for you and all. but i guess the decision is ultimately up to you

[JN210]

I found this and thought it looked pretty sweet...

[JN210]

Ok, today is the day...dropping the Z off at the shop. I think ive got some good ideas, but im just gonna let it be a suprise when its done

i know its not getting turbo'd but at least it will look nice...its a start right?

[07_ZG_G5]

[wishinsky]

yea I agree, it was just an idea to throw down, the shop has some ideas for me to look at so i will do that.

Just repaint it black. You have no idea how much work it takes to change the color of a car. :icon_bigsmurf:

+1 changing the color of a car is a MAJOR job. to get parts of my car painted i had to take out most of the interior. jambs are no fun either.

[zbrown]

these wheels, and black, everything black

Hey im not doing the work, so why not? it will be staying part black, I want some kind of blue...metallic, dark....something to catch eyes. I guess "Toppers car club" or whatever wheel shop or automotive shop they have are donating me wheels so I will probably get something cool.

and I no longer have my Z anymore...I feel alone...lol

[JN210]

Hmm...its called a "rear-gate" yes?...no?...

[Rexwagon]

i kinda like the rear gate as long as you dont add the crappy widebody and window vent covers. makes it look nsx'ish. what shop is it going to?

[JN210]

Midwest Rod Customs in Lake Park, took it there yesterday, and if I can find a importer or some way to purchase it in the USA then I will let them know and they can throw it on there.

and here is the scheme im thinking for thecar...
