Whoa, hard to believe that's the same car. You definitely put some serious sweat into those wheels.

I bet you get your money, the color combo will help, and it looks great.
Any pictures of the seats afterwards, curious how they came out
I was wondering if the pictures of the interior was still before the seats got repaired, seems like yes.
That's a great result. I can't imagine letting my wheels get so full of brake dust that they looked like they were painted. Of course judging from the interior the PO looked a little messy anyway.

I've always thought the opposite-I wonder if we see the same thing and have different tastes or have different perspectives altogether. I have always thought the design is/was so clean. The Nismo version ruins everything about it.

The 90's 300zx/turbo used to be one of my most favorite designs, and for quite a while afterwards it seemed almost timeless. Yet for some reason they don't move me at all like they once did, I don't hate them, I just don't lust after them like I once did. Something about both the front and rear of the 350z just seems a bit off from me, but I realized that from this side profile the car really reminds me of the Audi TT - which I've liked since they were introduced.
I like the styling of the 370Z much better personally.
The 350Z for some reason reminds me of a WWII fighter plane. I can't put my finger on why exactly...

Wouldn't that be more appropriate for a Mitsubishi?
But from the profile I can see it. The greenhouse and roof lines make me think fighter canopy.

at 6ft3in I loved mine, fit like a glove. (2006 track) there was even a cushion right where you knee hits the console.
It put it on craigslist last week for $5500. Two calls so far, both wanted to trade for a motorcycle. :(
My buddy possibly has an interested party, I should know something next week.

A rebuilt title and no tag on the car would scare me off. Since words are free you might elaborate a little on the damage and even offer that you have pics of the car with damage for serious people that show up to see it.

Trade for my tow rig? I could meet you somewhere along the FL panhandle.
If i was in the market for a tow rig i might take you up on that. But alas I already have a very similar trailer and a 2007 Yukon to tow it with. Good luck with your sale that is a good deal.
What was the outcome of this? Did it sell? Hope you made your money, looked awesome when done except for the ugly wheels.
This car sucks, I feel I made a poor decision in buying it.
It ended up nickel and diming me to death and it's still not a nice car. I have had several people look at it and all have been turned off by little cosmetic things, etc... I am hoping to unload it this tax season. I will post up here when it is gone.
