Over the past few days I drove my Z over 800 miles from college in Michigan through snowy mountains to where I live in Virginia. Since then I've installed a Grote 73040 for reversing, washed the car, changed the oil, installed my welded diff full of Motul fluid, and done some other minor mods.

Today I took my car out for a short, reckless drive and filmed it:

Clearly I need some solid subframe bushings to go with the diff bushings.

Bought a new antenna because some dickless piece of chit stole it AND my car cover and also scratched my door in the process, I hate living in the ghetto in an apartment complex with no gated parking.

Detailed the engine bay. Installed my NISMO CAI and CF radiator cooling plate. Everything you see that is CF is wrapped with 3M 1080 CF vinyl.

Next is my NISMO S-Tune exhaust.

I've never liked the fake carbon wrap trend. Not sure how it looks in person, but in your picture it looks really good! Everything flows perfectly. Well done!
