Took the front bumper off to re-wrap it. I rushed it the first time because I was sick of doing it. The aerosync bumper is really rough and I just laid vinyl down over stuff I shouldn't have.
Got the old vinyl off and started sanding it down today.
Nice try to not get too into the movie while your driving, my wife watched kung fu panda on the way home from the casino one night, it was a struggle trying to not watch a masterpiece like that.
Thought you had suspension on the car already...? Hmmm...
The idiot is in my mirror for not changing shocks when I diy Eibach Pros. Oh well, I enjoy working on the Z. Compressing springs is always fun

Exactly mb I'll pick up F&F and make the wife drive
Finished my cruise control relocation project... lol.. just in time for it to not matter since I'm going back to a modified OEM wheel anyways lol, but this is still dope af.
I wanted the button holes to be perfect, so I just trimmed off the aluminum from the steering wheel and sandwiched it into the plastic and body filler, filled and sanded a bunch of times.. its not perfect, but for now it will do.
I will have it skinned in carbon fiber later this summer anyways.
i reworked my hatch open springs to have more preload than normal, allowing me to remove the pennies in the rubber boot. here are some pics for those interested, took about 20 mins.
exploded view of the hatch spring unit along with the washer and a spring spacer to remove the e-clip on the shaft.
place the washer here, in this pic there are 2 but i ended up only using one because there was too much preload.
with spring
this is how i am using the V shaped metal clip to allow space for me to remove and reinstall the e-clip.
use needle nose pliers to remove/install the e-clip from the shaft. be careful to hold the assembly tight while removing or installing the e-clip. it can pop out and send all the parts flying, ask me how i know.
final assembly only using one washer. Hatch pops open first click with a much more forceful pop then when using pennies. this will also not put a dent in your hatch.
Are those the C-Tek rotors? If so, I've had them on my car for a few years now, and they've been great. No measurable wear with EBC RedStuff pads, and absolutely zero corrosion anywhere.

They are centric rotors. And the kit came with hawk HPS pads. I read good reviews on centric. I've had hawk pads on a few vehicles and I like them.
