:iagree: I'm waiting for some kind of rain. the area I live in has been over salted in March when we had barely any snow. Because of that, the salt is still everywhere. Drive just 10 minutes away and those areas are mostly salt free :shakes head:

This morning was my first commute in the new daily driver. Such a relief to spare the Z from the war zone that some of Houston's streets can be. I actually love the little Matrix. It's nice to go back to a bare-bones car; reminds me of my first few cars back in the 70's - 1977 B210 and a 1979 Civic. It also makes you appreciate the Z even more.

Hope everyone has a great day. I've got HR training classes all day. Rah!

Back to lurk mode. :tiphat:

Mr.gurneyeagle, :tup: on the new DD...!!

Morning all, I'm already running late.


Might as well just go for plastic dip, it'll be hard to see the difference between dip & wrap since it's such a small part and you don't look at it from 4 inches away all the time.... :icon17:

I will not be swayed! Unless, of course, I just get lazy. :p

ms. pint - simplify your life, reduce your stress, and go with PlastiDip! :tup:

It is hands-down the best thing to paint the fang area with - chip resistant, easy to touch-up, and can be removed when you decide it's time for a change.

I used it on my car and love it.

1) VentureShield on windshield
2) VentureShield on A-pillars
3) VentureShield on Rocker-panels
4) VentureShield on headlight
5) VentureShield on side-mirrors


Steps to obtain those mods:

1) Make money
2) Make more money
3) Make even more money

Steps to obtain those money:

1) Work hard
2) Work harder
3) Work even harder
4) Work the hardest

Fixed... :ugh2:

That's my plan anyways.

i hate plastidip. :icon17: over spray made a hell of a sticky mess in my garage when i tried it. as a huge stress to remove all the sticky from my Z, G, and tool case, etc.

after that ordeal, when i had to plasti dip a black power cord for my ip camera white, i went to the middle of the field to spray it. like a 1/4 mile away from my house and 3ft away from a car owned by someone i hate. :icon17: hahaha jk

sounds like a very solid plan you got there! :tup:

for the smaller bits like your sides and a-pillar, you might be able to get away just using generic roll of clearbra. :) it's not really hard to install, just need to keep your fingers wet when you're touching the adhesive side, and use soapy solution, soft squeegee, sharp scissors. i do clearbra install in my garage at home. :icon17:

was thinking i might do the front bumper this summer. not sure yet. i only have one sesame sized mark from a rock in the last 4yrs of ownership.
