^ ROFL. Chris, you're nowhere near old or grumpy (aren't you the exact opposite of grumpy?). I wish I was still around Dallas to chill with you guys. I'm getting tired of the cold weather and not knowing a single damn car person to hang out with around here.

I wish.. I'm stuck here whether I like it or not until this August when my lease ends. Then, if I choose to, I can stay for another 4 years to finish school.

Hey Chris, do you recall what fix people are doing to touch up the inside door handle/ arm rest scratches ? I've looked through a bunch of threads and can't find them

Pat I looked in every thread I thought had a remote possibility of a fix remedy. I just remember seeing it not long after I got my car (no scratches) and now that I need it, I cant seem to find it. Ive tried every search I can think of. After putting in the 3m carbon fiber pieces.... the alcohol prep seems to have hasten the scratching issue. I have scratches everywhere now.

Ouch, shouldn't have put alcohol on plastic/acrylic/etc, as alcohol will eat through the finish and even some of the material. I can't really help you with your specific issue, as I have no experience in that area. I do hope you get it fixed soon, though. Your interior is starting to look real nice with the CF. Can't let them scratches hold you back.

Yeah, thanks. I did do big clean up after the alcohol prep, its just the cheap inside handle/arm rest that has the cheap coating. Ive had a few scratches and I have heard several Z people complain about how penny pinching it was to use that material for the amount of use it gets. Ill figure something out. There are several ways to skin a cat.... Ill find one. Thanks.
