This is below the driver side headlight

 

It's the little things!

+1. It looks really clean compared to that weird stock one. I actually pick up MORE stations with the shorty. I wasn't expecting that. Super clean car btw!

More fun with the car today though. The previous owner (or a shitty detailer) put some pretty nice swirl marks in the paint that made me cringe every time the sun hit it. I used it as a bargaining tool when I bought the car and got it corrected today, along with a headlight resto/seal. The guy who did it was local and did it in the parking lot at my work. Winning! Now I can clay and wax this weekend.

Here are the pre detail teasers:

 

Are you running all rear nismo wheels 19 x10 square? Any issue with vdc or slip light?

Removed the rear 350z badge today.

1. Fishing Line.
2. Small plastic scraper for bulk glue.
3. Rubbing alcohol + soft bristled brush to agitate.
4. Rubber eraser wheel to finish it off.
5. Wetsand @ 3000 grit, fading to edges.
6. High speed polish/glaze via Craftsman drill and 3M Trizact foam pad.
7. Ultimate compound.
8. Polishing compound.
9. Wax.

I'd say it came out a 9.5/10 due to you BARELY being able to see the outline in very specific lighting/angles. Ghosting will occur on any car that's sat outside in Florida sun for 6-7 years.

Now it's time for a

 

when i was on this setup it was the stock setup but with a 275 in the rear

 

Test fitted and ordered some new wheels.

 

As soon as my daughter goes to sleep, time to wrench.

 

congrats!

VIP that Van!

 

Washed it and organized my tool chest. Of course, the very next day a bird pooped on roof.

 

New wheels are on!

 

Oh man, no offense but those are not my style at all.

 

Fail - My post was empty!

I don't build my car to make others like it, I do what I like to it

Plus - these wheels (SSR Viennas) were $200

 

Oh, totally - make yourself happy. It's what this is all about. And that's a damn good price!

 

Are they spinners?

 

Stock wheels look way better.

 

like a petite girl?

 

 

Not spinners, no.

But they do have LED lights in the inner barrel.
