Got the windows tinted.
The Eyebrow with Comfort 20 (no more need for the sun visor),
the back with Comfort 50 (a little lighter),
and the sides with Comfort 35 (a little lighter still),
All at the legal limits in Virginia.

After you listen to your own music for so long, you really miss it when you don't have it.
I am so glad to have my music back.....

Have I really had my Virginia-Gntlmn license plates for 20+ years?
I traded my previous car in to one dealer, and bought my Z from another dealer, so I had to wait until my Z was titled before I could transfer the plates over.
It's nice to have them back.
Even everybody at work was going "who's car is that?"

Never liked the look of the Nissan hamburger on the front, so I swapped it out for a "Z"
Much better....
Note: I left the hamburger on the back alone.

The stock shift knob was okay, but I never liked the texture.
I had this knob on my previous car and I loved it (an NRG Carbon Fiber Universal shift knob.)
Because of the difference in design it took a couple of tries, but I finally came up with something I liked.
I got a "shift knob base cover" from ZeeToyz, but it rattled.
So I added a "shaft collar" from my local Ace Hardware store.
I was surprised at how well the 2 pieces fit together, and how much they looked alike.
Now I just hope it holds together.

Hey Xan,
Thanks for the comments, and I agree with them.
I'm just starting to fill out the thread and it's more of an outline at the second than a real posting.
Since this keeps showing up at the top of the new posts list, I guess I'm going to have to re-think that.

Thanks again.
Edit:
Okay, I think all of the previous posts have been edited and 1) make a lot more sense, and 2) contain a lot more of the information that I want them to contain.
I think I'm ready for next week (the next set of mods....)

Great combo with the BC and Grey!

On the posts/thread, you can do more information in one post.

You can also edit a post after you made it and you can delete your own posts.
I would clean up your thread and combine it all in the opening post.

Some post don't seem to mean anything..

I never have been fully satisfied with the replacement stick shift knob that I put on, so I decided to swap it out - again.
I like this one MUCH more!!

The new one (a Stainless M1 Abrams from TWM Performance) looks better, is lower, and has a little bit of a shorter shift.
