1st set of pics w/new paint! [56K :(]

I still don't have my new turn signals and my rims are done but it still looks ok
Oh and as you can see my bumper STILL wont line up...but im gonna have someone around here fix it

Are there any aftermarket tails that look stockish? The reason I say this is the sunbaked look of your tails is drawing away from your nice paint job.

Re: 1st set of pics w/new paint! [56K :(]

you should try just cleaning the tails, most likely theyre just weathered down, if you wanna save money and the trouble for looking for OEM tails, just pick up some headlight cleaner, i used this one in particular called Blue Magic on my IS300 when i bought it used, rather than spending a few hundred to replace the headlights/fogs/trunk taillights, i just used the cleaner, takes a while to clean, but it does a great job

Nope it's the factory 03-05 Nissan 350z Daytona Blue.

And i'll get numbers on the hp and such here soon...hopefully it won't be too sad for a little t3. Hah.

You should change the d in lude to a b, that'd be funny. Nice ride, any idea why the front bumper doesn't line up? I know your getting it fixed, just curious to why it doesn't line up.

well i had a thread a couple months back where i rear ended a truck around a blind turn....that pushed my radiator support down and well i had it lined up almost perfect but when i picked it up from the paint shop it was hanging again. now it seems no matter what i do it wont line up. so im just gonna see if anyone else can do it for me.
