Since everbody else is showing off their kit and new paint, here's mine!
Well AFTER wks of delay with the turbo kit and the paint, I finally got it out of the paint booth.
To make a long story short, I live in Florida and due to the recent rash of hurricanes, the painting was delayed and the actual paint booth was damaged from the storm. The car had to be painted inside a mechanic's engine bay and actually turned out quite decent (a few runs here and there that wil be buffed out). Anyhow, the kit is the VIS kit and guess what guys???? It was actually a good fit. The only problems was the high beam headlights was a little off and needed to be shaved a little bit, but the actual bumpers and sideskirts bolted right up. I paid $360 for the kit and it isn't bad for the price. THe color is a custom mix but with the 350z Daytona Blue. Anyhow, the car is dirty in the pictures but you get an idea, I've got a few more things to do to it before I take some nice pics. Comments are welcome guys! Thanks in advance.

Its nice to see the SC's in custom colors... That is a classy blue and as you said is the 350z color... Very nice
BTW... 2 guys in Ct. have recently installed the VIS kit off Fleabay (knock off vertex) for about $360 plus shipping and surprisingly they have nice fits. I have noticed a few guys on our club with VIS that look pretty good.
OHHH.. The lips on those rims are sweeeeet.

this vehicle this really good.....
I think those are Forte wheels in the staggered fitment(a buddy of mine who has an '00 SC3 was wondering how they would look, well, they look great on an SC)

Sick, just sick.
The Estoril Blue from BMW is my favorite blue, and this looks very similar.
The wheels look pretty decent, but you can do better down the road by going with a less fancy design for that particular car's style IMO. and only IMO.
for reference, estoril blue =
