Today I am going to wash her. Use a clay bar on her. And delete that ugly rear wiper.

Dang, those wheels are
Looks good! I love to have those wheels.

Can I get a closer look at the canards? I have those canards for my N-3R, but wasn't sure which way the canards is supposed to be facing. I have the fatter part close to the front, which I think I may have it backward?

Let me know how that rear wiper delete goes. I been thinking about it. . . but it doesn't bother me at all, so I thought I'd leave it alone. But for future references, I'd like to know

Ah ha!!

I'm NOT the only one (not paying attention?). Hahaha.....

But yeah, as I've said many times before... "I like my rear wiper. It wipes my (gl)*** clean for me."

@midz350 Thanks, I see it clearly now. So I did have it the wrong way.

I shelled out some cash, and bought some things. Nothing fancy, but things would help.


I restored the headlamps which seems to just need a cleaning. I did this by hand before I bought the kit, but I'm looking to do this again tomorrow for a extra layer of clarity (only one way to find out if it gets any cleaner, right?)
My arm is pretty sore though. The guy in the back could use some magic.

Heh.. I have those exact wheels sitting in my laundry room but have yet to put them on. Bought them over the winter and I'm still running my winter wheel/tire set-up... Bad me.

I even delete the wiper off the hatch sitting in my spare bedroom.


But yeah no wiper or defroster or antenna or badges on the back of my car... I'm eyeballing the z emblems and they might not be on for much longer.

O and I no rinse washed the car today and drive it to a family function... And filled it up with some 93.

That image made me work really hard to see what the heck I was looking at.

So a hatch by itself with stuff (RC Z33 etc.) sitting on top of it in your bedroom? I see.

Is that factory super black or a custom color?

My guess would be Black Pearl, but the lighting may reflect it differently then it's actual color.
