Thanks mate going to wait till I see the speed shape samples to make my mind up... Only heard good things about Glacier Frost though! Looks nice mate, but isn't one of my options haha Cheers mate hopefully one of the five colours will fit the bill! They would be yes, but apparently it's just the cut off is slightly different - BulletMagnet is running them without issues... Waiting to hear back from ZWorks/make my mind up on plunging for them. Either way I want black housing lights, so I'll have black Depo's regardless soon. I've not seen one hopefully the tester speed shapes will help me decide! They should be done any day now

It begins!!!!!! Excited!

If it looks that good when I get the sample back then it may just be the winner... Time will tell all 5 will be given a fair 'blind' chance in low/mid/high light conditions.

It's a custom respray and I totally get where you guys are coming from... But my car is currently plastic with no colour, depth or variation, it is literally fridge white. I'll be happy to get any form of paint on there haha. My concern is yes I'm paying a lot to paint it... But I also don't want it to look like a Fast and Furious turd rolled in glitter by picking the flashiest colour for the sake of it. I'll report back with 'blind' nameless pictures of them all together as soon as I get them, I'd genuinely be over the moon with any of the above and all my new kit fitted. Photos aren't enough to go off, we shall see when I get the physical tests back. Time will tell gentleman as always, cheers for your feedback

Cheers for the feedback boys, and yes it has to be white Steve haha... I just think it suits the car and the look. Already sent off the testers, it will be one of the 5 above. I might choose the colour from the testers without knowing what's what... Probably the best way to do it

Looks a great bit of kit I'd get it powdercoated black personally though.

Would love to have the wallet/patience/knowledge to undertake something like this... Looking forward to seeing progression on a lovely car.

Yeah balloon white is definitely up there! The Storm White photos were taken by me and I loved what I saw in the sunlight... Tough one as most Storm White photos you see it looks flat white which is the last thing I want. True, the only thing that puts me off Glacier is that it's a cooler/silvery/bluey pearl rather than a warm vanilla ish one that Nissan just seem to suit... The speed shape may persuade me I'm struggling haha... The samples should help - I'll post a photo of them all together when I get them I'd love red leather interior haha Right - I'm thinking the plan of action is... Lose Pikes Peak/Ivory Pearl QX1 - it apparently has less pearl content than the newer Nissan white colour... And add Lexus Starfire Pearl to the 5 from the 'maybes'. Reasoning being it's a clean white with a strong pearl - I figured it'd be more dramatic than the similar BMW pearl, and the Toyota satin white pearl is nice, but probably similar to the other 3 vanilla-ish pearls I have chosen. So I have warm, creamy pearls 1. Nissan Storm White/Brilliant White Pearl QAB 2. Lamborghini Balloon White PPG224009 3. Ferrari Bianco Fuji PPG 224004 A cool, silvery/blue pearl that's a bit different 4. Lexus Glacier Frost Mica 074 And a crisp, clean white pearl 5. Lexus Starfire Pearl 077 Better photo of Starfire; That's my 5, will post photos as soon as I have the testers back

Not a huge fan, but I've lost the screw cap on my drivers one and it drives me mad... Black ones could be an easy fix.

Right, I've got 5 speed shapes to drop off at the paint shop today so I can choose my colour! Just need to settle on 5! These are the colours up for consideration... 1. Nissan Pikes Peak Pearl White/Ivory Pearl QX1 2. Nissan Storm White/Brilliant White Pearl QAB 3. Lamborghini Balloon White PPG224009 4. Ferrari Bianco Fuji PPG 224004 5. Lexus Glacier Frost Mica 074 Maybes; Toyota Satin White Pearl BMW Mineral White Lexus Starfire Pearl

Not Do Luck? What have you gone for?

Also the wiper arm is included with the motor if it is required... I'd imagine postage would he a bit more though.

Unfortunately that freebie has been claimed mate, sorry.

Agreed, as common and as boring it may be, I feel it's the cleanest, classiest looking front available still. Suits the look I'm going for and flows with the clean Amuse sides well. Cheers for making me question it though so I had to justify it to myself hahaha Yeah, my v2 came with carbon lip, just didn't look right. Hovering bumper... Agreed on the skirts flow... Not many have V2/Amuse sides but found a couple of pics and they look great together...Clean and simple.

Love projects like this, even when they get really technical and over my head Great progress so far!

Thanks for the kind words mate will look out for your build thread! I will do mate - I'm not 100% yet as they're going to cost and I'm petrified of condensation issues! Yes, those are 04 onwards lights pictured, with LED mods. You had me questioning the V3 over the V2, so I did a Photoshop albeit a very crap one... But I think it just doesn't work in a light colour with body coloured lip, it may grow on me. But love the simplicity of the V2... I like the AMS GT bumper, but think it has too many lines to go with the look I'm trying to achieve. Thanks mate

Gah, they will hurt my wallet so much... But black housing and running those as DRL's will make the car look a lot younger than it is... Who am I kidding, I'll likely buy them I kind of agree with you mate, I was torn between V2/V3 in creating this 370z V2 look I wanted... The deciding point for me is that personally I think the V3 need to have the splitter in a dark colour - with the sides to match, and that continues onto the rear diffuser. I'm not able to with the Amuse sides/CS rear and don't want that two tone look. The body has to be perfect before paint - there is still a chance I could change the V2 though, currently although it is done to death, I think it compliments the cars natural lines best, The V3 in body coloured splitter on a light colour just doesn't work I don't think?? Not convinced I like the longer nose effect either... Hmmm. It needs the continuity of the dark lip all round... Thanks a lot mate, I probably will haha... My poor, poor bank balance!

Spoke to the paintshop and he's going to try sort my sample testers this week mate 5 options... Not settled on the 5 yet mind! Also - always fancied black internal DEPO headlights, they just suit white cars so much better (ala 2015 Nismo 370z) BUT - I've been talking to Z-Works in the States, and really fancy a set up like the below... Won't be cheap, someone slap me and say it's a waste of money?

Looks great so far, good additions! How 'pearly' would you say the Storm White/QAB paint is? It's hard to tell from the photos aside from the indoor one. It's one of my pearl white options for my respray.

Loving the side badges

The colour looks amazing, great detail work, is twilight grey really that much nicer than gun metal grey?

Stick me down for a red set.

I'll be game once all my body work is sorted by mid February mate

Oh really? Have you been having a stab at Photoshop? Or do you mean someone is stealing my crappy ideas haha hmmm!
