No plans atm. I rarely use my rear view mirror for anything. When I back into a spot I adjust the side mirrors down and in so i don't need the rear view. Then when I get in to leave I move them back.

looking good.

Got tracking numbers for my first mods today :D
Might be getting that Stillen front splitter when it is on special. |
Also got a response from Nengun Performance about the Craft Square mirrors. They wanted to clarify what it was I wanted, so I responded with the info they requested. Also included a screenshot of the item from craftsquare.co.jp and hopefully will know more soon. Speed Element hasn't returned a pm or email and neither has Endless USA (US supplier for Craft Square). So right now it looks like Nengun will get my money provided it isn't to much more than what Speed Element had posted.

So an update, Nengun Performance has yet to respond to my reply. But Speed Element did return my email, so I think I may be getting the mirrors early next year, but probably won't have them till late spring early summer due to the time it takes (they said 90-120 days). I'm also crossing my fingers that I might get one of my two packages tomorrow. I didn't realize UPS doesn't deliver the day after Thanksgiving and it looks like it won't be delivered until Monday. The other package is being sent by fedex and was last seen in Hawkins, TX so I'm hoping it might get here tomorrow. If it doesn't it will be here on Friday :D

Nice job. I defianlty need to do this next. I'm about to get a bunch of platidip
|
One of the guys in the Z club here bought 10 cans of the stuff so he could try painting the whole car! lol I managed to find the one can in town that he missed :D I must say though, getting the results I wanted was a bit time consuming.DIY incoming

Here is the DIY for getting your side markers done like i have mine.
Step 1: Remove the side markers from the car. (Dallaz has a good diagram of how to do this in his build thread.) Step 2: Mask off the area you don't want plastidip on. This is the most time consuming part of the whole process since the results are directly affected by the quality of your masking job. Step 3: Spray on the plastidip. I did a real nice and thick coat. Step 4: Peel off the tape immediately!! If you let it dry before peeling it will stretch and gives the edges a really crappy look. Once the tape is peeled off let it dry for about 20-30 minutes. Step 5: Repeat steps 2-4 until you are happy with it. Remember if you don't like it, you can simply peel it off. |
Step 4 seems to be the ticket
|
Yeah, it really is. I initially tried spraying it then using an exacto knife to cut it out how i wanted, but it didn't give as straight an edge as I wanted. The second try I masked it and let it dry, this gave me the problem I already mentioned. The third time is when I pulled it off while still wet, unlike paint you don't have to worry about it running down the area you had masked off.

Loving the tint job! Looking forward to seeing your z with all the new parts you have on order!
|
Got the intakes from Z1 today. I'll have pics of eveything later.

Skeeter, a word of caution.
If you get the Stillen front splitter, you may want to get better screws than what they package. According to a few Z owners here, the default installation screws are cheap, causing the lip to come off at high speeds. So a trip to Home Depot and a pocket full of change, and you should be all good with regular screws. :tup: |
Got pics of the plastidipped sidemarkers on the car?
