There are two threads on My350z and our G37 site, both have a lot of sweet pics. I would head over there.

I know it's been discussed before, but what's the benefits of getting them powdercoated? Y not just get them painted regularly?

Mike's contact info is all there including pictures of his work (mostly corvettes).... email him what you want done and he can give you a price!

Just got mine back. Did gloss black with Akebono in silver. I shipped them to him on a Thursday and got them back the following Tuesday. He did a great job and I highly recommend him. I paid $350 + shipping. Well worth it. Now I just need those 2 piece rotors from CZP!
