Way to bored today.
Ever have one of those days where a 20 minute job turns into an entire day project! Well today was mine, I get up drive to my work put my car on one of the lifts to install my new ARC under panel, 20 min. job max. Get online {my350Z} in the office go back in the shop look out the window, WTF it's pouring down rain. Well ****, I find a few cans of Gunk on a shelf, pull the wheels off, raise the hood, soak the engine bay with gunk, raise the car, soak the entire under carrage with gunk, mind you all the doors are closed as they frown on us doing personal buisness there but now I'm so high on gunk fumes I don't give a ****. Completely powerwash engine bay and under carrage, struts brakes. Then I completely blowdry everything, install my under tray, find a bottle of meguires wax, WTH, start waxing the entire undrcarrage, nothing is left unwaxed. Unbelievable how shiny and beautiful the under carrage is now. Assembly line spotless. Just thought I'd share my rainy Sat. Guess I won't be driving it home till the roads are dry.

Not yet, I'm kinda expecting it tues/wed. along with the nismo finned cover. Looking at my diff. today it looks like a purty good little job on the diff cover and with the SPC kit looks like I'll need a realignment afterwords

Naw, not the front right now, the car came SPC rear adjustable camber arms, far as I know loosining the bolts to install will loosen the adjustment cams. I may have to bring it to Houston to someone good at aligning Z rears.

Ah, ok; I see. I was wondeing why you would need an alignment by installing that bar...
I found a place that has a great deal on the front and rear set (around 140ish shipped), but I need to get some CF B-pillar overlays to go with the bit of CF I'm leaving on the wing, so that might have tp come first... Debating on which ones to get; I'd prefer the Nismo, but others are much cheaper...
Can't believe you put on that under tray and didn't intend to take pics...

None of it was really planned except for the under panel, the undercarrige wax and detail came about when the rain started. I did one little spot and was amazed how clean it got. Pics. should be up in a week or so when my nismo Diff. cover and tie bar hit the door.
