fitment and stance is perfect for me.

also wet sanded and buffed the headlights. started getting some scratches on them
Anyone got any ideas for sealer? Bought some BlueMagic Headlight sealer, gonna try it out









Looks great. I take it you are building your motor or not keeping it at 600+ for a while?

Plasti dipped the stock 18's and door handles black with some gloss over the top, just enough to keep the flat black look though. Smoking the taillights tonight or tomorrow.

Wish I could upload pics on mobile..

I hate smoked headlights/tail lights, both of my z's had them done before I bought them. But hey it's your car..

As for me, I put on my new replacement y pipe from tomei and cleaned her up for the ride to znationals in the morning.

Just don't use Plastidip as a means to tint the tails, actually just don't do it at all. Looks cheap imo, unless a bodyshop sprays it to a mirror shine, even then looks tacky to me.

did the rr wiper delete and a full interior and lp light swap to leds still working on finishing the stereo install. old owner gave me the stock radio but no factory brackets. need em for the dd install so they are on order and the head unit is on hold. the amp cap subs hands free mic and nav antenna are all installed. so far very happy with the results.

BigBlue came through with the Zspeed undershroud, and I got installed recently. Looks great! I've always wanted one. w00t!

Also, I got a chance to wash the Z today. A couple of weeks ago, she was clean until I drove to a party where it proceeded to rain. Oh, well. But the weird thing is that there was a ton of strange fuzz all over the car the next day. I couldn't stand looking at it anymore.

I just did a quick detail.

I agree I did 1 coat of black to where you still have red showing through where it looks like the black has a red tint to it, and have put about 3-4 coats of gloss and is almost mirror, I didn't black them out but lightly smoked, any lighter it'd look like complete crap, plus its my first time having black out lights, and I'm going for a black and red look so need some black to accent the red

I hit something in the road last night and it flew up into taywans windshield. Broke my lip/bumper in half at the bottom and on the wheel arch. Taywans z got it worse.
