Looks clean and stock, unlike most of those shiny plastic stubbies that tend to look cheap.

+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:

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.

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

Not spinners, no.
