bonvo Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 yes to white letter tires and duck tail no to cut up fenders just my opinion Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 No to fenders, maybe on front spoiler & tires... Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 I have white lettering on my tires. I think it hails to my old school Hotrod days. Not sure if it should only be on actual hotrods and fast cars but I don't care. I'm running it like that. Mines fast so I've at least got half of it down! Hahaha Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Oh, and Hells to the No for the fender ducts/vents. No opinion on the chin spoilers. ahahaha Quote Link to comment
Dattokai Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I like how Kondog's 510 has the pillar vents shaved. I couldn't find the photo he posted of it with the new wheels, but I got this from his thread. Yay or nay on my 510? Quote Link to comment
Dattokai Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Home made panels! Just needs to be sanded and resprayed with clear coat. Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Pillar vents are one of the classic design cues of a 510. Removing them almost ruins the look IMO. Ben shaved his vents too.... But the rest of his car is sooooo frickin' clean and straight that I forgive him for that! Hehehe Quote Link to comment

I'll probably leave them now and shave later.. or just leave them forever. I just need a mad jdm hood scoop for my hood. Quote Link to comment

Dattokai Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Your friends Z is nice and the white lettering is kick ass I'll tell him that and thanks! He actually has multiple 240z's. Just can't wait to take a daylight photo of the wheels, and he's doing the same to his tires. Quote Link to comment

SR20DETdatsun510 Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 I've tried several tire paint products including that Dupli paint pen and all but one either faded, cracked or bled through. I blighty this rubberized paint and it seems to be holding up. Let me know how yours is working out for you. Looks good! Quote Link to comment
