I was probably going to order 3m and do my front bumper... Maybe do the hood and hatch also...

I think I too will be using vinyl for my eyelids next time I wrap. Either that or moulding in my eyelids to my hood at some point

Avery glows black is the good match. In certain lighting you can definitely tell the difference but its about as good as you will get form vinyl.

And absolutely not seamless, it would be a mistake to even attempt that. Just put the seams in places that the bumper has 'body lines' and you will hardly notice they are there

I meant gloss black, my bad. Metallic will have too much pearl in it.

This is what I used.

How many beers and steaks does it take to get someone in the Boston area to help me whip through installing some valve covers?

Current ones are leaking pretty bad..

Haha go on vq garage new England Facebook page... People love little projects, I would probably just do it solo though...

I like the slow and steady approach, I need to do mine also one of these days... The replacements have been sitting in my basement for almost a year now.

Valve covers were the first 'major' repair I did on my car. Learned a lot about it just doing them.

I also did it solo and Im happy I did, gave me time to look at everything and take my time

Well brought the Z home last night. Got home this morning at 3:45. Ended up taking the Volks because Im made him a pretty crazy offer and he went back and forth but ultimately took it.

And Im currently working on my next vinyl project for a local guy.

The seat belt thing is a tow strap they sent me with my seat. I assume they think I plan on breaking down.

And those seats are very comfortable but a little too big bodied for me

Craig you wanna take a road trip to Massachusetts with a truck? Just picked up an 03 Z with 48k miles on it if you want the engine and the leather touring seats...

Possibly sold my exhaust and picking up a TDXV2 for nearly no money out of pocket. Only problem is not being able to drive, so I have to bribe my old high school friends to drive me.

Side note: This whole working from home thing is weird... It's like work, but I can have a bulldog on my lap
