yea i was thinking the mines style one...

wheels are the willie's old advan rs, being powder coated oxblood red candy or a base coat of metallic dark silver

and yea i finally found a shop to shave the triangle and respray the whole thing. 5 stars auto on 2nd st in the northeast. came as a reccomendation from a lot of people on tristatetuners. i guess they do a lot of the drifter nissan guys around here as they had like 5 240s in various states of abuse all over the place.

DOnt go there man, they suck. They're so bad. The Nissan kids just have really low standards. My friend got his civic repainted there, and it was horrible. If you do it, at least get it painted elsewhere. Also, my brother is a Nissan guy, and hates their work with a passion.

As far as the color matching goes... carbon looks awesome on WW. Thats what color the car is correct? Would be a shame to paint it.

The plan is definitely for March. Early March will not work as some ppl have already said they can't make the 7th (1st week of March). Lets vote on either a Saturday or Sunday meet.

Saturdays Dates - 14, 21, 28

Sunday Dates - 8, 15, 22, 29

I'll start a new thread once I get back from work this Friday night!

Mat, go to JNZ Tuning for your powdercoating needs. Joe is an awesome guy. He will not give your wheels back until he is happy with the results and more importantly, you are happy with them. He is currently doing one of my valve covers, but didn't like the way it turned out, so is redoing it for nothing. I can't give him enough praise for his customer service. The first coat didn't even look that bad, but he told me there was too much purple in it. Here is a pic of the preliminary powder coating job that he stripped away and is redoing.

I've heard good things about LPC. Hoping to get my wheels done there too.
