    Great job, love the 370 body style. Japanese thin factory paint, they have spraying down a thin coat of paint and still provide good protection and quality down pat, haha; just not the whole accelerator/brake issue down pat. (yes i went there!)

    dang those cars sure do look nice. A lot better then the 350z's that's for sure. It's very hard to capture defects yet alone 50/50 shots on white cars but you sure got them well. Excellent work and nice pics.

    hahaha yeh most M3 owners dont understand

    having owned and modified both a 350Z and an M3, i know which id prefer for my next project

    the M3 is a good all rounder but its limited by its donor sedan underpinnings, specially its sedan seating position and archaic/cheap mcpherson strut front suspension.... there's nothing like the feeling of a sports car that has been designed from day one to wrap around you, those high waisted doors, the low slung seat position, the gearshift falling perfectly in your hand, that feeling of sitting over the rear wheels..... throw in better quality of engineering and its WIN for the Nissan :thumb:

    looks good. you guys were able to pull of the 203 and orange pad as a 1step without a finishing step? just wondering as ive never really attempted it with an orange pad, as im not sure the results would yield correction with no hologramming.

    never seen halograming after using 203 and orange or any pad for that matter maybe having p21 paint cleanser helps. we didnt had much time with the car, otherwise id follow up with 85
