HAHAHAHH!! Yeah, I do make fun of myself for driving a car with 3 different colors! I already got the quote for painting the entire car. I'm even thinking about changing the color of the Z. But I'm waiting until my built engine+ twin turbo setup is 100% complete. So, once I finish retuning it and car runs 100%, it will be off to a body shop.
Thanks for the compliment and concerns(?)

Alot!
I've been tuning my Z for the last 3 years. Had APS single turbo as well.. and every time my Z went into a shop and came out, it would always have additional scratches.. no matter how careful my shop took care of the Z, it would always have more scratches... So, I figured.. Paint the darn thing once all the internals are 100%. During the break in period, I took down the front bumper twice... and think about removing the bumper when it is already painted... you have to handle it as if you would handle a baby..
