+1 on keeping it warm and taking your time. I used a fender roller to do mine because a freind had one. I used a heat gun on mine. You don't have to make them too hot, just keep it nice and warm while you do it.

Did the heatgun make your paint flat (not shiny) on some spots? Or is that just the photo?

I think your offsets are good, they stick out nicely. Any more though and it would look bad.

They stick out just enough to fail JCI

Can this be done with a hair dryer?

Yeah it can be done with a hair dryer as long as it is not too cold outside. It will just take longer.

drop it more and put a negative camber and you will be flush with your fender. Good job.

He definetly bubbled the paint due to overheating. Something you have to be very carefull of. Hope it doesn't start to peal at this point. The roll looks good though

I backed up the left side or the car onto a drive way and that pushed the rim most of the way up just enough for the tires to go behind the fenders. The tires didnt rub with the fenders at all! Woohoo! Now I will be buying the 350Z revised or the the G35 coupe springs.

That's what I thought too, but I think it's a combination of the orange peel and what appears to be a 1 stage paint job.

Good job on the roll, are you dropped on anything?

well I have to work with what I have. I am now looking for some springs such as the 350Z springs(revised) or the g35 coupe springs. If all else fails I will just get the Tein S tech springs. I believe that all of these will drop the front 1.5 inches and maybe .5 for the rear. Sorry If I got this wrong I am reading up on it on G35Driver. I love that SEARCH button!
