Thanks man. I almost didn't do the stripes but I was wanting it to stand out a bit more.... and I had never done that before and started to like it more as it went on....
Good news is I can always just pull it back off on a nice hot day when it gets "old". I can sell myself easily on liking it considering the cost of the vinyl and the time laying it but I also see it being a bit out there.

Nothing did special. Just as usual. Take it onto the garage and wash it. So that it looks like amazing and new.

Sometimes that's the best thing you can do. Get it shining!

I'm assuming that was a typo or auto correct on the "booster fi kit". I think he's talking about boosted performance. I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere here he was going with that kit? Correct me if I'm wrong Ck_32. If that's the case, did you get the twin scroll kit?

Also bought a storage building for the wife (and for me) to clear the garage for some good wrenching space and for the build
Let us know how that works out. That big precision turbo will look good under the hood.

You know that's how it goes. Lol. You start focusing your attention on some other project and your baby calls you back.

Right about the time I get some money to do a lower and upper plenum with a computer flash every light and suspension part on the car gives me grief.

1. Body color, black accent to lower section and grill. Typical look.

2. Body color, silver or wheel color to accent the lower section. Not sure about it.

3. I should have spent another $500 to get the carbon and left it unpainted. (Too late!)

It's a tough call though. Sometimes carbon looks really good and the others not so much. In my opinion you can't go wrong with black. It's a legit color for so many vehicles.

I wish 8 had the means and the cahones to go matte black with dark red chromium whills. Probably one of my favorite looks.

Hotchkis sway bars in. Probably gonna drill and tap the fronts for grease fittings.

Akebono brake kit, arp wheel studs, and diff bushings are in line next. Just waiting for the brake lines and fluid to come in.

I have a TBW undertray, oil changes are better than the oem tray.

my z was black, but i didnt want to do vinyl or rattle can. i took my handles off, took them to a body shop and had the painted the same color as the car. looked amazing (to me, some people prefer the silver handles)

I completely agree about the rattle can. The guys who did mine removed them to do a proper job with the vinyl. Vinyl wrap and Corners installed for 75 bucks. So hopefully I get a couple of years at least out of the vinyl.

Yes some people may like the silver door handles and emblems but for my wheels and all the accessories I intend to go with the matte black just looks so much sharper to me. It actually made an amazing difference in my eyes on the way my car looks walking up to it
