threw on this megan chassis brace that i picked up for super cheap... probably doesn't do much but whatever. it looks cool.

 

Dug my car out of 8 inches of snow for half hour, then made this snowman:

 

It took you half an hour to shovel 8" of snow? Is this you, Scrawninator?

 

Lol, no fool, 8 inches all around my car. Had to use a "Caution" sign to shovel a path for my car to get out of the parking lot at work. Then had to source mats for traction and throw those bit*hes under the wheels. All in all, took 30 minutes.

 

This week: new suspension, oil change, new clutch, trans mount, and alignment. Next week: changing front springs again and rear toe bolts

 

Put the z away and took out the evo from storage to dd in the rain.

 

Haha that's sick wish I had that luxury...Post pics of the evo

 

 

Got a go pro hero 4 and installed the mount and tested it out #dashcamstyle lol.

Btw nice evo sparco! Looks like an evo x from the quick glance I took of it, am I right?

 

Yup, correct.

 

She sure is pretty, short version of the mod list for it? Or is she still stock?

 

HKS & Greddy go fast, 3m wrap, 320 awhp, 19" Advan RSD.

 

Bet you break a lot of necks driving that around, including your own lol.

 

Just teenagers and sausages, girls like the z.

 

LOL! Ain't that the truth. I seen some dbag with an srt4 earlier with some hella stretched wheels, looked so gay. And his hood and roof were flat black and the rest of the car was gloss black. Intercooler was hanging sideways I couldn't stop laughing XD

 

Took the last 24 hours since I had to re-finish and re-dip one of them a few times.

So my door barrels looked like poop, like most Z barrels I looked at when I bought this one. I got some genuine Fiber Carbon covers for a few places but for door barrels I wanted to try my hand at the hydro dipping. I just used a mydipkit for this, I am fairly happy with the results. Also my navigation hatch had a few imperfections, thought I would try that wrap vinyl fiber carbon simulant and man was that a mistake, couldnt get creases out. I was left with a glue covered hatch. The Hydro dipping may of saved the day, will post pics after a few clear coats and mounting back in car.

These pics dont really do it much justice as you can actually see the thread in the weave in the details. Also it takes 14 days to fully cure, after that I will buff these up for a nice shine.

 

Nice, leopard print.

 

I think it looks a little tacky... just my opinion

 

I was afraid of that actually. While better than straight spray painting the part like I have seen on so many Z's, and though its about as professional of a job as it could look, I agree its still a bit on the tacky side. The problem is that all the aftermarket carbon fiber solutions for the door barrels kind of suck IMO. I bought and almost installed some matte black plastic ones from factory which I think would of looked okay, better than before anyway. But also thinking about a black on grey carbon fiber hydro dip to match the real carbon fiber veneers I have on the door controls in the pic.

What have you done for your barrels, surely the original OEM ones havent held up?

 

Mine are still perfect and scratch free, but I've been the only one that's ever driven her.
