Hi folks, new (well, new again) Z owner from Flower Mound here.
I had an '03 Touring when I lived in Chicago, and I just bought an '08 Carbon Touring last weekend.
I am looking to get a clear bra (I saw mention of spray-on type - anyone have some information on this?) and to get my stock rims powder coated to a flat gunmetal color. Any ideas?
Anyway, hope to make it to a local meet soon to see everyone's cars.

I think Wheels America does powder coating. They are in Dallas but have a mobile unit too.

I am interested in getting a portable GPS (around $100.00 or so) does anyone have any tips on what to look for or avoid? Looked on Craigslist but they are look the same to me.
Thanks
Thanks

I know some of them just tell you to turn right.....
Some of them will tell you the street name coming up to turn on.....
And some will give you the distance of when to turn....
Others will have options to turn off voice, etc.....
It depends on how extensive you want the GPS to be for yourself.....Just like a car base model will do all the thing a car loaded will, but in the end sometimes its nice to have all the bells & whistles.

^ ya, exactly, those are the kinda things im talking about, where its nice to play with them first....then again, if its your first one, you will more than likely just adapt to it and either love it/hate it, or just use it...

ya, if he can use it.......i bought it online and they sent me the wrong one, i opened it, and then set it aside and didnt attempt to install until it was long after the 30day return policy, so i stayed stuck with it...........their mistake in shipping, my mistake in not catching it sooner...
oh well...
