Cool, do you ever go by Z1?

I go to GT and live just northeast of midtown.

Yeah ive been there a few times. I like the GT campus. Im probably transferring over there in 2 years. I hate the roads though.... pothole hell

dkmesa350z

iTrader: (41)

Yeah no kidding. I crawl when I drive the Z. Hit a pothole going about 30 once and am lucky I didn't bend a wheel.

I'm Keith from the Taco Mac meet after you got your equips installed. What are you replacing the Rotas with?
Here's a pic, no longer have the V2 though.

^^^Say it isn't so Keith, what happened to your V2?

PS-I've decided to go the Phantom route

Nice, can't wait to see the new look. Have you dropped your bumper off at the shop?

Nice ride. What wheels are you running dkmesa?

I dropped it off on Tuesday, but my under wings won't be in until the end of the month. I'm just looking to have everything on before zdayz, and I've got to save up a little bit to go phantom.

Aw cool. I cant keep names with faces much less names with faces with internet handles haha.

I have gunmetal RPF1s now. I wanted to rock some 18"s whilst I save my pennies for FI.

bad cell pic for now:

You can save you pennies with 19s. I'll trade you mine for the RPF1s

I have wanted RPF1s forever and love the gunmetal, but haven't taken the plunge on buying them new from a vendor.

Thanks for the offer amigo, but I like my new wheels too much. Just ordered some wider tires too. I wish my driveway didnt suck, id like to drop the car some more...

dkmesa350z

iTrader: (41)

Which vendor did you buy them from?

dkmesa350z

iTrader: (41)

Thanks for the spring perches, Andy. Dropped it 0.6"

^^^You can definitely tell a difference from the pics, looks nice!!! Looks like maybe a finger's width now? That's right around where I'm sitting.

dkmesa350z

iTrader: (41)

Yeah, before I could wiggle a finger's width...now I can't get a finger without going at an angle. Somewhat a subtle change, but exactly what I need to even up the stance and close the gap.

I will replace my rear tires in 3-4000 miles with 305s, so I will definitely need my fenders rolled. Anyone know a good deal in Atlanta for fender rolling? I don't want to risk cracking my paint.

Oakos. I am pretty sure they are the only ones who have gunmetal.

I did my own. only had 1 tiny crack appear. 30 seconds of sanding and a dab of touch up paint and its gone.
I split the cost of renting a fender roller with 2 friends. Neither of them had any cracks. I would be crack-free if I kept the fender warmer. It was a cold day and I didnt get the heat gun all the way to the back like I should have.

Anyway, my point is: You have just as much chance of cracking your paint with a "pro" than just doing it yourself
