toecutter Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Finally chose an airdamn and its coming soon but not sure on the colour to paint it, red or black. Tried out my limited photoshop skills to give me an idea but still not sure. I think I might go the black. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003z Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I went satin black with my front bumper. spray can satin black. You know it will get chipped up eventually, and with spray can satin, you can touch up any time. With satin, you get an even looking coat, even if its not applied evenly. I can spot paint and you can't tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysZ Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 this probably doesnt help, but they both look great lol. i think the black will provide good contrast and match up well with the ZG's but don't do a gloss black, do a satin finish as noted above.

Guest iskone Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Black always looks meaner to me and when you have ZG's it looks even better. It's kinda got that all go F the show feel. Isk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I hated the look of black ZG flares on ANY car until I saw them on 2003Z's car with the black door sill stripe and matching black bumper trim. Then I saw your red car with the same factory graphics. I think this is exactly what the car needs to make a black or carbon over-fender work without paint. The flow across the car, front to rear, just simply WORKS like that... :2thumbs: Both air dams look good. I agree with the comment about the satin black rattle cans, unles your bumper is metal. If it is, get it powder coated. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZG240 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 My car is currently being disassembled for paint. But when it goes back together, it's going to be repainted in ivory, with black ZG flares and a black BRE spook and BRE spoiler. It will have Vitaloni Californian mirrors, and that's it. I'll post pictures next spring when everything's together, but I've put a lot of thought into the color combo and the external flares and how everything's going to look. I think it's going to be a good combo. So....in case I haven't made myself clear, I vote for black! You just can't beat a black spook or air dam.

Guest grimlynsan Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 where did you end up getting the air dam? exoticar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toecutter Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Thanks guys black it is! Grymlynsan, I bought the air dam from a friend who makes them to order. He makes this front air damn as well as about three other popular types seen on the net. He also makes ZG flares, BRE rear fins, side skirts, fibre glass S30 dashes, inner door trims (covers) and the list goes on, however he is located in Melbourne Australia so it's probably not very convinient for most on this forum but I'll add a link to his contact details anyway! http://www.viczcar.com/v-web/bulletin/bb/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=87 Cheers Sulio Oh by the way, Grymlynsan have you got a bigger pic of the car thats your avatar, looks pretty cool but too small to really check out!

260DET Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Looking good Sulio, yeh, same colour as the flares. That fibreglass bloke, does he sell Z spoilers on Ebay under the name of 'fibreglassman'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grimlynsan Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Oh by the way, Grymlynsan have you got a bigger pic of the car thats your avatar, looks pretty cool but too small to really check out! I'm going to do the same paint theme but with silver instead of yellow (until I come into some money). I'm not doing the light protectors, I have a different air dam, i'm going for 17" ROH Milano's, and i'm thinking about puting on the decal like yours. Oh yeah, almost forgot, I have an extra two seats! When I'm done you'll barely be able to tell the two cars apart. hahahaha!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 i never liked body color air dams but i think urs looks better red. im doing my blue Z's air dam blue now.. it was black. i need a change and i think it will do the trick. that yellow Z is omg hotness!! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toecutter Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 Richard, I don't think Fibreglassman on e-bay is the same person. Grymlynsan, that sure does look nice. I'm not a fan of those headlight covers either. Looking forward to seeing your car finished. ON3GO, Don't you have a green Z. I really like the look of the green and black. Is the blue one a second one in the garage or am I totally off!? How about some pics mate? Cheers Sulio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toecutter Posted December 10, 2005 Author Share Posted December 10, 2005 I bought the BRE rear fin or as some call them spook rear spoiler today! Of course that'll be black too- hopefully I can have them both in the paint shop next week and fitted to the car soon after.

TomsCoupe Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 No problem. Your car looks sick man. One of my fav cars. I need to buy another one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busmn280 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I have looked at both pics and I gotta say I would def go body color. The black doesnt look nearly as good as the red. The red gives it a much better "finished" look. My .02. Buster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
