Thanks all, I'm working on getting the IKPs installed (cooking took way longer than I thought..sorry Cjanik!). I'll keep everybody posted

Good looking car. I was wondering what "w.i.p" meant, glad you mentioned it!

Illuminated Kick Plates installed! Amusingly I tried to have the dealership do it while I was in looking at cars...and they utterly failed to understand the instruction manual. 2 hours and a few beers later, voila!

Random night shots. I realize my camera is beyond terrible. Please donate and help me get a better one!







On the board for next week: dyno run, and off to Tony's shop for my exhaust!!!

Man I never really liked red cars except for 2, the rx7 and a Ferrari. But after seeing two gorgeous z's, including yours makes me drool!

So I noticed this morning that my roof looks ugly. I mean UGLY. Here's a few pictures to illustrate (sorry, 5 AM just found camera so fluorescent light will have to do...)

Under clearshield: no problem! Looks like new.


Outside of clearshield: wtf, did something oxidize? It doesn't reflect, it SCATTERS LIGHT.


Don't mind the blemish, I got that off.


You can see where the clearshield ended and the roof got...oxidized??


I haven't read the paint defect thread much, so I'll have to look at that for a bit...but anybody have any ideas?

On a more positive note, baseline dyno today before I get to Tony's for installation!
