looks great but everyone that suggested mods is forgetting what i think is a major detail...

update the tails before you do anything else. I just really don't like the old tails

and btw what exhaust is that? blitz?

GS300-2002: if that ? is for me on the exhaust.. it's HKS

and yes tails are in order. it's all about money though

BTW: I traded my old 1995 Nissan 300ZX (N/A and salvaged title, hahaha) for some free parts and labor to a local shop. I feel like i got the better end of the stick sorta speak. They knew the issues with the old car but needed parts ASAP off of it. Some things i would have changed though.

How does it look?
Did you powder coated your OEM wheels to gunmetal? Nice!

I got them painted gunmetal, in the sun you can see the metallic

As for the tail lights, I plan to get LED, but all in time my friends

Ok.... So now I really have to look into this stuff here.

That looks excellent and the price seems to be even better.

A lot of people are doing this to their white 3GS. I am on the fence about the look myself, in my eyes, it's a bit of a ricer thing to do and it just doesn't seem to look right on luxury brand cars. Seems like it's something out of the civic culture... BUT, it DOES look good in some cases.

Now, I wonder if one day I'll be a trail blazer and make my roof white? :P

^ There is a member on here with a 2GS (can't remember his user name) that has a silver one with a Vertex kit IIRC and he also has the hood stripes. I think it looks great on his car.

I personally think it looks good because if you have tinted windows it just flows so well from the back window to the windshield.
