Finally got around to throwing on these black emblems. Next up door handles.



Also had my roof vinyl removed and just got it actually painted. Looks much better.

Absolutely nothing to that money gobbling *****. Let her sit in the garage alone by herself in the dark. Skank.

I purchased then on ebay a little while back so check on there. Also thezstore as another member mentioned but pricing will most likely be better taking the ebay route. The quality of the ones I got were excellent (front and back) just make sure to check the sellers feedback.

regardless how its applied....the match is what matters. I think once I wet sand smooth and clear then wet sand again it should look like a million bucks

total cost = $136 4 can of K23 from NAPA

Yea red or red orangeish mid summer time hopefully....I too was scard but before actually spraying the fenders. I sprayed a piece of metal and then let it dry/cure. Started to sand and buff it and it started to shine...said to myself "well damn"

BUSY Saturday, and got A LOT done.

Turbo housing was STILL rubbing against the steering couple so I shaved it even more. Fixed 99%. Bumps on suspension arms were rubbing against the SPL Camber arms, shaved those down and hopefully that's fixed. Arms where getting chipped up because of it. Rattling was going on in the suspension. Took a few hours to investigate EVERY little piece. Thouht I had a blown bushing, turns out the coilover collar was loose on one side. Tighten the hell out of it, rattle fixed. Adjusted my caster on one side, had to remove the camber arm. Still not perfect, but better. Adjusted my sway bar endlinks slightly on the other side. Adjusted spring preload, a little too Much slack were in them.Adjusted one of the headlights, one was slighty lower. Got that light beam straight aa an arrow. Test fitted my Volks. Brembos are cleared easily as much as maybe 6mm. But the suspension arm is STUPID close. It might be clearing it by 1 or 2 mm. I tried wedging a thin piece of cardboard and it was still rubbing. May have trouble running 275s up front. Will probably shave a portion down later. Pictures may follow. Feeling lazy though.

Well lost my keys in the leaves today when Bobby from CIN Motorsports came to pick up the z. He ended up finding them. Loaded z onto trailer to get this new harness put on. Found out they gave me the wrong harness, has the correct part number on the box, but its the wrong one. Now I got to get a refund and get the correct harness. More set back, atleast the z is in good hands, he drove over 2 hours to pick it up.

Not really for the Z but I have decorated the garage to make it feel at home.

ZCCA Posters and FINALLY found a mint showroom banner from 03 for the right price.
