Default What have I missed? Im Back!!

As the title states I am back lol. I just purchased my old 2006 350z back from my friend, well I actually traded back for it. I just purchased a house and need to get rid of Cayman and how things worked out. Now I have no car payment and my cool car back.

Since I have been gone from the Z scene, what are some of the must do's regarding interior and performance? He didn't keep it as clean as I would of liked but that just takes a little elbow grease. I definately need to redo the outside door handles and cheap *** interior parts. Do I cover, wrap or just plasti-dip the pieces? Anyway thanks for responding.

Plasti dip the entire car (interior too, I hear plastic seats are good to prevent poop stains in the seats : / ), Get some Raceland Coilovers for that harlemshake Herra flush gangster points, and get a sticker that says, " im only speeding because I really have to poop" ;p

On the interior pieces,

After a few years of owning my car, the center console (with the rubber dotted crap) was all scratched up.

I took it apart, wet sanded it all down with low-grit fine sand paper.

Then I coated it with auto interior paint from rust-o-leum. I got everything at home depot and is a weekend job. Basically you can do this to any interior part and make it look clean. I chose black to keep the stock look. It actually looks nicer than before (in my biased opinion.

Best results have been from people using this on the chipped interior pieces. Found at any auto store:


You could also look into hydro dipping if you wanted to give it a custom look, say Carbon Fiber.
