    Default Car is going under the knife tomorrow

    Taking my 300ZX TT in tomorrow to have my Stillen GTZ-R Gen 1 fascia, Stillen nose panel, better condition used fender, and better condition hood painted and put on the car. My friend runs a shop across town and mostly does BMWs, Benzs, and other Euro cars but does all cars. I've even seen Porsches in his shop. Anyways, he's going to be spraying the parts with Debeers and mounting the fender and hood and just spraying the other fender, then blending it all into the doors so it flows seamlessly. I'm probably going to install the fascia myself at a little later date so I can upgrade my side mounts while I have the old one off, but I might just spend the extra and have him install it so I can ride in style until I get some side mounts

    Haven't had paintwork done on any car of mine in yearrrrrssss so I'm a bit nervous. However, I get a lifetime guarantee on the paint, and I've known the guy for years so I think he'll do a good job.

    Those are the reasons it's going in the shop. Split front lip, separation in the lower "lip" area from the rest of the fascia, and the ripple near the bottom right corner of the hood where the hood was shut down on a tool, because the fender right next to that spot has a ding in it too, and some various other chips/dings.



    That's the fascia going on. The hood is from the same car, but the fender is from a silver car.

    My old sig? The blue/white 280Z? I don't even know how you guys remember that sig since I rarely post much lol Unless you're using super moderator powers and can see what people's sigs used to be.

    Besides, I haven't had that car in yearsssssss

    Looks good.. just not a big fan of the nose panel. Im really biased though, the TwinZ type 1 nose panel is my favorite of all. lol
