You're on your way to wrapping the entire car.

HA! Yeah... I got real frustrated trying the center console earlier. Guessing heat is the trick with pieces like that?

Heat can be a friend or your worst enemy. The way vinyl behaves changes significantly once it's warm. It's about using the right amount of heat to make the vinyl complaisant.

No matter how much you finesse vinyl there's no way that it will fill in every space in the super fine knobby section of the center console/waterfall.. correct? I've always seen people sand it down and vinyl over smooth surface or hydro-dip the pieces.. Maybe I just havn't seen enough wrapped Z interiors.

Man, I remember seeing in a different thread that you've put many many miles of HARD use on your VQ. How long do you think it'll last in total?

Driving in rush hour in Los Angeles traffic today, I approve the RJM pedal. night and day difference. It's like it has an s2000 clutch now, so smooth and soft.

Picked up a M2 HR y-pipe and installed it. Hoping to pick up a set of Motordyne ART V1 test pipes soon.

Got my walboro 480 pump installed, oil change, and put down 550/460 on the dyno with some fine tuning.

Yeah I LOVE those wheels. Almost like the offroad TE-37s (minus a spoke, of course) haha
