Guest Anonymous Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 Hey guys. I just had an interesting idea today. As I was walking towards my car I noticed the garish chrome door handles ('91 Infiniti Q45). I've never really liked them on my car but I think they would look pretty cool on an early Z car. It would look perfect with my silver and black theme. I'm looking to get the chrome fender mirrors and some BBS-looking wheels with black spokes and a chrome dome center cap. I think it'll look good without really detracting from the style of the Z. What do some of you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Shasteen Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 I can see the potential; I think the color scheme would flow nicely...just thinking out loud or have you made your mind up? Kevin, (Yea,Still an Inliner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 Hrm, that must be a later model Q45. Mine has even bigger, more garish handles than those. They will look very big on the relatively small Z. The Q45 handles on the older cars were all steel, large, and very nice, but were designed for much larger cars; in essence, they were made to impress. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but IMO they are just a bit on the big side for a Z. In looking at doing any kind of body modifications to a small car, symmetry becomes all too important; changing something small can have a huge effect on the overall look or "feeling" you get from the car. I applaud your resolve to do something about the wimpy Z door handles though I agree with you that there needs to be a better solution to the stock ones IMO.

Guest Anonymous Posted November 8, 2001 Share Posted November 8, 2001 that's a 95 actually. I didn't want to go through the hassle of taking pictures and uploading them and then linking them so I linked from an ebay auction. I don't think it's really all that big. Having the cars parked side-by-side it doesn't look overwhelming at all. Didn't have a ruler handy but I'd say it's about an inch longer than the Z's handles. I think I'll have a set custom-grafted before I paint the car. I think it'll go together very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted November 9, 2001 Share Posted November 9, 2001 Wow, if they are only an inch longer, than they'll probably look pretty good on the Z. Good luck in your project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
