Ahh, very cool Scott. :props:

What a neat car. I’m not sure about over there but the Nismo 350 is rare as hens teeth here in NZ. That rear wing makes it In my opinion, actually the body kit in total is right on point to be fair. :xyxthumbs:

Superb work turning this around Scott, fantastic write up as per the norm, awesome pictures & of course - stunning results mate! Thank you for sharing. :dblthumb2:

Another awesome job Scott! Looks amazing my friend.

[Sizzle Chest]

Thank you!!!! The owner was stoked when he picked it up and then sent me a great text thanking me again and letting me know how happy he was that he could see the reflection of his other car in the garage in the side of his Nismo!

Aaryn, yes, it is a good looking/aggressive looking car for sure! He tracks the heck outta it too!

[DETAILROOKIE]

Nice job! That is one beautiful car, but wow that was some thin paint! What a great turnaround!

Awesome work and write up!

Those pearl paints does not do them justice in pictures. Can just imagine the irl looks of it how great it looks. Nice to get that extra confimation from the customer.

No, not on the wheels. I had some caked on track pad gunk on the calipers that nothing was touching. I hit those areas with the brake cleaner!

[Sizzle Chest]

Thanks everyone!!!
