Ruby Pearl S14's

[driven_]

i feel like i'm the only god damned person here with a ruby pearl s14. i know theres the "red" thread. but everytime i search "ruby pearl" i come across my own profile. (Lol)

anyone else here got one?

or someone got inspiration for me to keep it that way?

if not, i'm gonna repaint it ultra red or aspen pearl white.

Mine's not much to look at :/ But...Ok, first pic is not an up to date picture, actually none are. Pretty much since buying the car it's been driven maybe... 10 times. I'll have had the car for a year in July. I know... well there's a decent amount of stuff that was wrong with the car when I bought it. The previous owner seemed like a nice enough guy but minimalized the problems it actually had, and I never looked under the car to see the extent <-- my own fault heh.So it's been under a slow but somewhat steady surgery since getting the car. I've always liked orange corners, so I used some tamiya model spray paint to paint the corners. I thought about doing the bumper lights too, but haven't. I have stock 03/04 350z 17" rims for wheels. Car is lowered a little bit, needs a new paint job...I've removed the factory fogs, the lip and the grill. The grill was a pain in the a** when I removed it and I broke one of the prongs that sticks into the bumper. What a piece...

Here's some pick of my bros S14 the day we got it from dealer 01/12/09.And about 2/3 weeks ago he f@cked up the front end. Actually it wasn't his fault. Lady in front of him, stopped at stop sign and put in reverse. She plowed in the entire front end. But it will be back soon, once insurance money come in. So far got JDM S14 both lights, zenki fogz, Silvia grill, front bumper amber signals, JDM side signals (ones that have lump), dont know bout hood CF/or OEM metal(depend on how much $ from insurance) bumper had a crack in it (dont know repair, Navan Aero, or maybe JDM S14 kouki bumper).

Anyway Ruby Pearl no sun shine on that snow day, only pics before crash.

more old pics on here zerothread?id=396038.

And no I dont have pics after crash, or of the parts I gotz, too lazy. Let me know I might snap some pics tomorrow(Saturday) if any one interested

mines ruby pearl. I honestly hate the color, look like maroon IMO. Plus my pain is somewhat messed up in spots like my roof, hood, spoiler, and rear bumper.

Mine is in my signature below, but doesn't look stock anymore. I'll take photos soon. It's going through a Navan conversion. I am keeping mine ruby pearl. I think it's a sweet color with the right accessories on the car to make it flow nicely.

Old picture, before my swap. The guy that had it before me painted it, and failed on epic proportions, there's not really any pearl in it. Makes me want to paint it another color.

actually i really like your car, especially in that color. i think i appreciate cars that dont need weird pearl or metallic effects to look awesome more.

God doesnt need a dam, he can walk on water

[Amtk240]

Kaleo55, that is one nice Zenki you have! The paint scheme is a very nice touch. I was thinking of something along those lines at first, but I didn't want to bite your style so I came up with something different. Ruby Pearl was not my favorite color but it has grown on me a lot. It is a color you have to see in person to truly appreciate and it helps to have new paint as well.

Before the wreck:

After the wreck: Although to be fair, the new color is actually Ford Mustang Dark Candy Apple Red.I like the old color better. :-(

[mrgrape]

Here's mine about five years ago...

now thats a zenki done right

[SRprelude]

heres my ruby pearl s14 with Stance GR+Pro coilovers and 18x9.5 +15 MB battles. Im pretty sure its original paint, but there were some spots repainted or repaired. I was never a fan of this color until i bought it! the paint really does look better in person.... and in the sunlight, the pearl really shows (if the paint is still good)
