The owner of this incredible Nissan GT-R asked us to replace his front clip with the Japanese spec hood, fenders & front bumper/air dam that he sourced from Japan.
He visited several shops in town who told him the job was impossible to complete without paint blending into the doors.
The car had already been protected with PPF that he did not want to interrupt.
This task involved a great deal of work, as each bit of carbon fiber must be taped off, as well as all the panels prepped, sanded and primed, as they were all quite rough straight from the molds.
We then matched the existing paint perfectly to match the rest of the panels.
The results were stunning.
The 2023 Nissan GT-R may not be a classic in the traditional sense, but it carries the spirit of one—a modern-day performance icon with roots that trace back to the legendary Skyline GT-Rs of the late ’60s and early ’70s.
Much like its predecessors, the R35 generation GT-R, which first debuted in 2007, continues to blur the line between raw, mechanical prowess and cutting-edge technology, making it a future collectible in the eyes of many enthusiasts.
Under the hood, the 2023 GT-R packs a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine, delivering a ferocious 565 horsepower in the standard model, while the track-focused NISMO variant pushes out a thrilling 600 horsepower.
It’s a car that takes the brutal, analog power delivery of vintage muscle and refines it with modern precision—thanks to its all-wheel-drive system and dual-clutch transmission.
The result is staggering acceleration, with 0-60 mph times hovering around the 3-second mark.
Stylistically, the GT-R retains its aggressive yet familiar silhouette, a design language that pays homage to its Skyline heritage.
