A slight update, I installed stock supra suspension and 06 350z wheels. Its looking a little better but im not satisfied with the supra shocks since it has that raked look that i cant fix plus ive been riding on nothing but coilovers on every single one of my cars for the past 5 years, so coilovers are coming in a few weeks.
Is it better to get gs300 coilovers or sc300?
Here are some pictures how it sits on the supra suspension.

Yea they are 962's and no 962's will ever be on my gs plus I sold those a long time ago. I dont recommend them they are super heavy (iirc they were 38 pounds each with tires) and those were just the 18x9.5 +35 ones I bet the 19's are heavier.

What size tires are you running with the Z wheels. I may be picking up a set as well. And what brand/type coils are you planning on ordering? Clean 1GS for sure though.

This is how Im currently driving around while I fix and paint the aristo bumper lol
Bought this little guy from Harbor frieght to plastic weld new tabs for the bumper.
Then this happened right before I finished... lol
No biggie since it still works without the tip plus it was only 15 bucks.
This is where Im at with the bumper.
Im gonna smooth it out a bit with maybe 600? then another coat of primer maybe then paint it with this crap.
Championship white and a metallic clear lol hopefully its kinda close to the stock paint.
This is my first time ever painting so bare with me lol. I had this paint laying around in the garage and hated looking at a black bumper and silver fender on a white car so i figured "hell why not try to do it myself".
I have one free paint job that I can redeem whenever since the father in law has a body shop and has told me multiple times to bring it in so I really dont care if it comes out crappy.
I figured it would just be a good learning experience.

I just noticed that I forgot the 7 in my title lol anyways I have a update coming up in a few after I upload the pictures.
Broken tabs on the bumper that I previously fixed with epoxy, it didnt hold
Started by spot welding the tab in place.
Then used a piece of steel mesh and melted it into the tab just below the surface of the tab.
Then melted an abs stick over it and filled in all the cracks.
Did the same to the back of the tab with some steel mesh.
Once its melted below the surface I melt more abs on it to strengthen it and fill.
Its not pretty but it works!
Then scuffed it up used some filler primer to get rid of all the minor scratches, primed it and painted it championship white.
2 coats of metallic clear

Overall I sprayed about 5 coats of clear on it since that paintshop stuff is super thin.
I knew the color wasnt gonna match but I would rather have an off white bumper then a black scuffed up bumper lol
