Nice Darkside!!
Good to see you back at it in the G game.
I must have missed it though. What year is your S? AT or 6MT?

I'm almost done parting out my G35 and am shopping for an S model 37 now.

WERD!
I'd LOVE to find a Lapis Blue 37S w/black interior and I'd take an 08 to get in one. Love that color.

ya i really wanted to find another blue since my past few cars have all been blue but i couldnt pass this one up, even has the gray interior instead of tan so its much nicer in my opinion, would have preferred black but the gray is growing on me and has been a lot cooler here in TX than an all black interior would have been

Me personally, I'm still on the fence about the stone interior. I'd take it over the tan for sure though. Not looking to get a tan interior again lol

just sanded everything down with 320 grit and then used duplicolor engine enamel in gloss black, did 4 coats of color followed by 4 coats of clear coat.. some spots still need to finish drying all the way on the clearcoat since i sprayed the last 2 coats medium wet, looks pretty good but i will eventually get it color matched in ob if i ever have to take the car to the paint shop for parts
