Nissan 370Z Forum  

Looking for some 370z information

Has anyone gone to petro and gotten a car wash with their car? Wondering if the car is too low or not.

I go to esso when I'm lazy or during colder winter days, I have a video that you probably don't want to watch all the way. It gets boring lol

I went to an Esso, touchless wash. Had to go a bit further to find one but it was definitely worth it. Got all the gunk from the dirty rain water off.

Looks amazingly shiny again

Now onto something a little more sad....I drove down to Niagara falls and parked it in a hotel parking spot thinking people might be a little more careful. I went to have fun for the day and when I came back, someone had dinged my driver's side area. Just a little bit behind the door handle before the wheel area. It's really small and unnoticeable in most cases but I think my OCD is over reacting.

The ding isn't too serious or anything but...any suggestions on what to do?

No idea, that really sucks man... 1.Park far away from people or 2.Stop being OCD about the car. I am doing both and it still hurts every time something happens ******* ********

So, I have decided to not be a little baby and to ride my 370z during winter. RBC has parking for me in their parking area so I will be safe from any major snow storms that happen during the work hours.

Because I will be driving in the winter time, I believe getting a clear bra for my car is needed. I called into auto links today and asked them about clear bra and they told me "Option C" would be the best for my car which is....24” coverage front facing hood (all edges wrapped) & fenders Complete front bumper....costing my 650.

Is this enough for a Toronto winter? and has anyone negotiated the price with these guys before? 650 feels kinda pricey.

nice! Do full hood, those stones will hit all areas of your hood. Also it looks nicer since you won't have a seam halfway on the hood.

Autolinks is great, ask if they have Redflagdeals group buy pricing.

Rust proof 100% required. I do Krown but most brands should be fine. You wanna do this way before it gets cold. I do mine mid August every year

I found the RFD group buy and added my name to the list.

I have rust proof already at the dealership. I paid quite a bit I think, around 600? for the full bottom and inside the doors and stuff.
