Sounds good! I'll pm you before the month end. Hopefully, by the time we meet, I'll have a Varis Arising 1 front lip and Hotchkis springs and sways on.

on my way home today, saw Ted from SP with another old guy in a "pumpkin" Roadster on El Camino Real. The car brand new, no plate yet but the roll bar had been stripped off (to paint like mine).

I have a DB too. I really think it is the underlying material and not the paint.
Next time you have a chance take a look at how the front or rear bumper differs in color appearance compared to the body and the gas tank lid.
This becomes more apparent in less sun light.

Oh, back to my siting post - SS heading east on Tasman around 9:25 am.
Woman driver turned on Fairoaks heading North. I just picked up my Varis
Arising I front lip from the local Sunnyvale UPS office.
Can't wait to slap it on....

around 6:25 pm on Scott Blvd. heading south towards El Camino - drove next to a stock looking CS with windows down. I waved to the Asian dude, he nodded back.
license plate ended with the numbers 960. Anyone in this Forum???

I also saw a CS on El Camino Sunnyvale heading East to the Fairoaks/Remmington intersection. He was driving a little fast. approx. 12.30 pm.

Oh, almost forgot - Parked a couple of spaces next to a black coupe at the Home Depot in Sunnyvale around 2:35 pm. While finishing up my In and Out chocolate shake and cheeseburger - I heard the sweet Z exhaust sound and spot a redline driving by. Sometimes I miss the stock exhaust sound on my ride.

sorry for the double post : STOP function does not work after Submit

I wonder how I always miss you guys driving around. I always see a red and silver 350z on Hamilton between Winchester and Hwy 17 morning to mid day. I also see a White 350z with rims sometimes near Wamu on Blossom Hill + Snell in the morning and the occasional black one. I am assuming they work over at Hitachi or one of the companies off Monterey or Santa Teresa.
