Yes it is.

So today, I finally got a chance to really detail the Z for the first time this year. I spent over 3 hours washing, clay barring, washing, and waxing the Z. I also took the exhaust tips off and polished/cleaned them up. Finally, I waxed the wheels, or at least the face and lip.

My lower back is killing me. But damn, it was worth it! She's looking so clean and smooth again!

Removed the pass seat, started playing in the hole to figure out where to mount stuff and run fuel lines. Inspected brakes , measured bump stop length.

About to order bump stops, install 13k front springs when they get here, lower the car 5 to 10mm with the new setup.

Decided to try and polish one of my extra plenums, have it sanded down a good bit. Still needs a lot of work.

Couple hours of work.
