What have you done for your Z today?
Bought a Cruise control instrument cluster and ac controls to replace leds with blue and give me the cruise control indicators.
Stayed late at work using one of the lathes to turn down some alum for bushing press plates.

Washed, Clay Barred, Polished and Waxed the Z. Dropped my tires and wheels off to get mounted and balanced.
My new spring wheels getting on there tomorrow, can't wait.

Found out the place that was mounting my tires ripped the first tire they tried, along with scratching the red time attack off my wheel. 
They are over-nighting a new tire, and fixing my wheel and taking my tires to a shop with a better mounting machine, which should all be done by Thursday night.
I'm pissed but they did handle the situation the right way. I'm not paying for the new tire, and they promised me they would get the wheel fixed perfectly. The manager who had Thursday off is spending his whole day getting this issue solved.
Not the best day for me.

Pics?
As far as the way they handled it, I can't complain. I live right near the shop, and they have a guy that stops by every now and then to do paint. He mixes paint and they will color match the red around the wheel the next time he is around. I left them my number and I'm first in line whenever he's around.
As for the wheels, they look awesome, I'll get some pics up soon when I can get a proper shoot.
Sikky Sub frame mounts and SPL diff bushing installed. Was a lot easier than I expected. Maybe since the SPL bushing has been in the freezer since June last year. New diff should be here tomorrow and it's back together.
