Default My New SB Anniversary

Hi guys

Here's my new Anniversary Z.....coming to u from Aus

The car was delivered full of swirls. I spent the first day claying the car with ClayMagic, then went over the car with 3M Perfect-It Swirl Remover. It removed them completely but i was skeptical about the fillers, so gave it a wash with a cap full of Dawn, and yep the swirls came back, but not as bad as they were

Day 2 and i layered 3 coats of Zaino Z5, and the swirls had gone. Day 3 rolled along i layered 3 coats of Z2-Pro. The paint looks fantastic now

She's totally stock atm. Ive ordered a few little goodies off the net, xenons (Aus dont get them on any model), US spec orange reflectors, Colgan bra, K&N Typhoon and some other CF engine goodies, and planning my ICE install with all the gear out of my last car - Clarion DVD + TV tuner + DSP Processor, 4 JBL amps, Clarion 1/2 din centre channel, JBL GTi splits + Power Series rears, and 2 10" Alpine R subs in a fancy glass box under the strut brace

US spec orange reflectors
How funny is it that we cringe when we see these and only because Aussie's don't get em they're desirable

It's just like the JDM craze

Very beautiful SB - - the Zaino gods were good to you!

i actually feel the same way. i keep wanting to order the blacked out front signals or overlays, then i see my Z and think it looks fine the way it is. i like the way it flows with the orange strip in the headlight, as you said.

Default nice plates

Very, very funny plates. TiPiace....being italian, this cracked me up. I have family "down under". Very cool that you have this machine down there. Car looks great, trying to decide to zaino or not. I usually get my car detailed professionally as buffing/polishing a SB can initimidate you. I have been using the NXT with an orbital. Great wet look, but doesnt last as long as zaino.
