RS8055 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Hi all, Just thought I'd ask some opinions on an idea I had. As I've got the pre-facelift model, there are the two slight indents in the bonnet. Thought it might look nice to get some CF vinyl and cut it to fit inside along the two indents to form stripes on my grey 350Z... leaving sharpened ends to the stripes towards the front bumper. Could anyone provide me feedback on whether they think this would look good/bad? Cheers, Ryan Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Personally i think it would look aweful. But thats my opinion. You can do what YOU like as thats all that really matters Quote
Aliensurfer Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Might be worth trying to Photoshop something first to see how it looks Quote

Sam Mcgoo Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Might look alright, to break up the bonnet. Someone will be able to photoshop it for you. In the meantime have a look at Chris's (keyser) green bitch. He has the black stripes you mention but on a green bonnet. Quote
marzman Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Someone on here has painted his Sunset Zed with black stripes as you describe... Quote
Jay Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I dont think it would work on a zed at all if I am honest. Quote
jumping350 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Ive seen them they look ok but better if you have other carbon or black things to compliment or a aggresive front end,i was going to just do the inside edge of the crease on both sides and see how that looked Quote
RS8055 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks for the feeback guys. Will take into consideration. It was just an idea that I contemplated with when I was fitting the Z emblems yesterday. Quote
RS8055 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Posted April 15, 2013 Also thinking about a black zunsport grille and CF lip for the front end to go with the CF vinyl if that makes any difference? Quote
Keyser Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Tried it on mine but decided not to go with it in the end 1 Quote
RS8055 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Posted April 15, 2013 Ah, thanks for the photo, Keyser, could I ask how you got the shape correct. Was thinking about using carbon fibre 3M wrap from eBay to do it... I suppose you just cut the design yourself? Quote
Keyser Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I cheated its paint Masking done by Mrs Keyser - she is known as "The Eye" She is good at getting things spot on and equal, these were her work as well all 4 were bang on (don't ever hang a picture out of square though!!!!!! drives her nuts ) 1 Quote
