Upgraded the arm doors rests with leather covers from Redlinegoods.com. Matches my e brake cover and shift boot I added back in October. Simple but loving the look.





Love my Z....

Test on trunk lid with Menzerna PF4500 came out quite nicely after Meguiers 205, PC w white pad. Original '06 paint. The reflection is my wife's holiday stuff. Ready to get it all polished up now.

Props to Detailed Image, one of our sponsors.


Cheers!

Agreed, all reviews are like 5/5. I'm gonna finish my polish, wait for IRS refund and jump on that. Not a cheap product, and dunno yet how to remove/retreat. Currently using Blackfire Wet Diamond.
Enjoy your weekend, Trav

4500 on a black pad is about as good as you can get.. Now lock it in with a glass coating

seriously check out the opti-gloss, it goes on like butter, flash dries in 3-5 min and the high spots look like there is wax or something and you just rub it off. after doing mine it freaking rained for 4 days, i went to the car wash just to spray off all the crap before i properly washed it.... and just the high pressure soap got it clean. while i was driving back home it was beading up and flying off, got home (less than half a mile) and the car was dry with no water spots

Yesterday, I saw my Z for the first time since November. Started her up for a minute. Then I unwrapped the box and laid out my Invidia Gemini exhaust to look at all the shinyness.

why invidia? it costs like $900+ for that system and the one at z1motorsports for the momentum catback imo is wayyyyy better and cost like 400 bucks.....for single and 780 for the dual exhaust....

RSR Invidia, badarse, wonder why it's just Invidia now. Post a review of the sound, I want a new exhaust but don't want it much louder than stock.

Good question, Justin. I did look at that system, but I currently don't have a y-pipe. I wanted a true dual setup to mate up with my TS test pipes. I've heard sound clips of the Momentum and the Invidia. I like both, but I wanted something quieter.
