2009 GTR by Nissan - Page 2

Okay, so to recap, the entire car has plastic removed outside and inside, it's been thoroughly washed, clayed and plenty of adhesive removed off of exterior panels and inside off of windows from stickers, the interior has been dusted, vacuumed, leather conditioned and pastic treated, the only thing left to do is seal it.

So as mentioed it got two coats of Zaino Z5 and ZCS with Z8 as a final and the rims got ZAIO.

So here are the final pics. Sorry there's no sun shots or nice background, but it was raining the whole time and I only had the dealership stalls to work in.

Opps, almost forgot that I wiped down the engine bay and any water out of the jambs.

This is the almighty Twin Turbo V6 putting out 480HP to all 4 wheels through the dual cluth paddle shifted technology....

And I present to you the all new 2009 Nissan GT-R

A few more glamour shots to come.....

This is the last I saw of the car as it pulled away.

At first when I saw this car on the internet before it was sold to the public I thought the design was ugly, but after working on it in and seeing it in person I can honestly say it truely is a unique design as well as beautiful and tastefully scultpted. Still a little bulky but looks great IMO. I was actually sad to see it go....

Now what you don't see in these pics are the hoards of people that crowded around the entire time I was trying to work on the car. It got a ton of attention and I was very distracted and interrupted many many times while I was working on it..... oh well.

Damn you beat me to it, I have a red GTR booked for a new car prep in October, thought I'd be one of the first guys to have one detailed in the states, guess not

Anyway that gray one is looking right as is should now, nice job Josh

I felt the same as you at first but once you see it in person I think you'll be pleasently surprised.

It really is a great looking car IMO and not large like it looks at all.

It has a very unique yet tasteful design but not sports car looking. It's different for sure..

Thanks, I'm just sorry I don't have better pics, most of the ones I took have horrible backgrounds as well as way too much light coming in and drowning out all the color and depth of the paint.

This is actually a client Moe referred to me from 6speed, the GTR is in Houston so it was a bit of a drive for me, especially to get rained out like I did, had to cancel all my other appointments....

He was one of the first to order and a lot of them are getting stuck at the port for months at a time due to Nissan having to retrain their people for this car. The owner told me he was fortunate and that many will be waiting till Oct to get theirs.

Can't wait to see pics of the red one once you are finished with it. They look good especially with those dark rims they have.
