Message Well its been a long journey to this point. To keep it short and sweet, I have been without my baby for several years. I tore it completely apart and had the color changed. Unfortunately the body shop took on more business then they were prepared for and had my car for a full year. Then I bought a house and that kept me busy for another year and my car was in pieces in my new garage. I finally recently got back together and this is how she sits today.

I thought my car was pretty tired looking before so I wanted a more modern color. I opted for the jspec bumper, 350Z Nismo wheels, and jspec tails. All of this IMHO made the car look at least ten years newer. Here is a before shot:

And here are a couple of in process shots:

This one is of the body shop pulling my rear fenders out about an inch on each side to fit the Nismo wheels since the offset is incorrect. I made sure they kept it as factory as possible.

Having driven her finally made me realize how much I miss driving a modded twin turbo 300Z. And the unfortunate part where I went to check the fluids and found oil in my radiator:( Now my baby is going under the knife yet again and hopefully I can get her back together before the dyno tune session Woody75 is setting up for the Colorado Z guys.
