Tonight around Pleasant Grove Blvd & Hwy 65 by some office buildings spotted a Daytona Blue 370Z....must be a new color as I only know of Smurf Blue (MB).

Crazy, the most I have seen standing still in awhile. How about that silver roadster with dried out accented pumpkin colored seats......the owner should take better care of his Z. I do not believe the car even has an owner because he never seems to be around his car at shows to meet peeps....haha

LOLZ! It was hot man! My Irish *** can't handle that kinda heat.

Not really sure what treatment I can give the seats. The cracks came as a custom mod when I bought it and every product I've ever seen for leather just makes them crack faster.

Apparently they're crappy lol, but must say they are bad *** when driving with the top down. You get a nice breeze down your back through the netting.

I'm trying to find a vinyl guy to add some burnt orange to the interior where things are scratched up a bit to offset the seats as well.

Thanks man!

I've considered painting them but thought that the problem may be that the material used to make the door handles doesn't bond to paint properly thus the scratches. Makes me wonder what the previous owner wore on his left hand. haha

No way, its the coating stuff they put on there...its CRAP

With a decent amount of sanding and prep you shouldnt run into the same problem again.

i HAVE always wanted to try that Duplicolor "Plastic" paint, i guess its supposed to adhere to plastics alot easier than regular paint. Might be able to avoid having to sand so much if that stuff really works, ive never tried it though.

2 more 350's...

One on Standford Ranch getting into the freeway around 10pm. It was silver w/black center/polished lip wheels, 5 spoke, sort of reminded me of the old school cragers. Gave him a .

Then around 11pm @ the 24hr Fitness across from the Automall. A white 350 w/spoiler and what looked like some ROTA wheels (like these: http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=64). He asked if my car was a turbo, while I was driving out of the parking lot (which I said yes) then he said "nice car".... As I was leaving though, I herd him or his friend say "blow off valve"... not sure what that ment, if he is on the forum maybe he can elaborate
