I got car back and finally all back together looks really sharp that 350z blue, very sharp and now is a real head turner, I've got people just about getting whiplash they look so fast, it would be even better if I had my new wheels, anyways there some work that they have to fix. I've got pictures but cant get them downloaded from my olympus digital camera to computer. Probably be monday now since I am taking off for the weekend, if anything I will use regular camera and my scanner, hope to have soon.

I tried that and it is still not being able to download pictures, I will try to take pictures with regular camera monday after I get home and post as soon as possible.

:MinnGreenGT: If I can wait this long to get it painted than you guys can wait a tad bit longer, don't worry it will be soon and than it will be time for photoshoppers to do there thing with different wheels and tires because thats deffentally has to be next.

That looks nice, is it just because of the pictures that some parts look green or is it how u look at the paint?

Now that is an awesome blue! I've been leaning toward painting mine blue, those pictures may have just sealed the decision. Looks great!

Very pretty. Only suggestion I have is to paint the wheel wells black....or use undercoating. That'll set off the blue even nicer. That blue is beautiful.

I agree. First that the blue looks GOOD. Second, DO paint the wheel wells. I did mine with rubberized undercoating and it looks great.

dunno about doing the wheel wells, you have to remove them to do maintenece on the engine sometimes, would be a pain in the butt with rubbery undercoating on there, and regular paint would chip and wear off real fast.

hmmm, reminds me of Tabs's car. You need some rims man

Looks beautiful, the moment I saw the blue on the 350Z I knew it would be a great choice. You may want to consider chrome wheels, though polished satin alloys would look good, I think with that shade of blue 18s chrome wheels might look the best. Though stay away from anything style that says GHETTO.

I dont think I am going with chrome, I am thinking about going with gun metal grey with the polished lip, I think that will look pretty good and will probably go with 18s. I am stiil deciding though.

I painted my wheel wells off the car with rubberized undercoating and installed them a couple of weeks later. The rubberized undercoating was very dry and flexible. I do not recommend using regular paint.

I like the charcoal or gunmetal wheels with the silver lip. They'll look awesome with that cool blue.

Hey guys I just wanted to thank everyone for all the comliments, I also want to thank everyone for all the help through all of this and thanks to the people that I got the parts from to put her back together like zoom88, Ed at the fiero factory. Anyways I just wanted to thank everyone, know I just need to get my wheels and tires, I think I am gonna go with the 18" sportmax 922 in chromium black with yokahoma poroda 215 or 225/40-18,probably in 2 weeks I should have them on.
