Thanks Phaddi. I will try and get some better pictures of the front today. I did not install the springs myself - I had our local club-sponsored dealership do the install for me. I did do the spacers myself. They are the 20/25mm bolt on spacers from Z1...

A few misc pre-ZDayZ mods...

I finally got around to installing my Z1 post maf tubes. I had to trim about 1/4" off both sides to get them to fit. And that was with the strut bar removed and airboxes out...

I also installed my Evo-R lip. I'm actually really happy w/ it now that it's on the car...

Damn that front spoiler looks really good! Nice and clean so far. :tup:

^^^agree, the front lip looks really clean.

how far are you driving, Im assuming you dont want rock chips on those headlights? Do you have a clear bra installed on the bumper/hood?

We drove 500+ miles (~9 hours) today. I don't have a clear bra on the car, and I don't apply product to my headlights (reason why I wrapped them). If you're familiar w/ Zaino products - I did a coat of Z5 and Z2 w/ 3 coats of Z6 in between yesterday. I sprayed her down w/ water after we arrived today, and the bug guts and road debris fell off immediately. The Zaino system basically creates a clearcoat on the finish. :happydance:

We'll see how long it holds up. Still 3 more days of the Dragon :excited:

hmmm sounds like I should consider doing something similar :rolleyes:...i'll be driving about 800miles round trip this weekend. I dont have Zaino, but I have the Adams machine super wax, maybe a few coats of that tonight/tomorrow morning and tape up my lights too :tup: .
small amount of work to keep her looking mint is always worth it.

Nice Z, Scott. I like the EVO lip in front. Hey, where in St. Louis do you live? I recognize that dog/car wash - I wash my car there all the time. Also, the train tracks look like Ameren's Meramec plant. I have a yellow 2009 370 and am in the Arnold area.
