It's been some time since I posted so I thought I'd share my latest. Last month while on road trip from Phoenix to Vegas, my Fly1motorsports Alumalite front splitter came loose and dragged along I-40. I didn't realize until I reached Kingman and heard a noise from the front. I jacked up the front end and took it off. I didn't feel like shelling out the $275 that Fly1motorsports wants for a replacement, so I sourced the necessary materials locally for far less. While I was at it, I wrapped the new splitter in 5k gloss carbon fiber. Here are some pics:

New Splitter:

I think it came out pretty good. This time, I not only used 3M tape and self tappers, I use stainless nuts & bolts to secure. We'll soon find out how it holds up as we're heading back to Vegas the last weekend in August...

While I was in the wrapping mood, I went ahead and wrapped around my stereo and Navi screen. It took some time and actually had to piece it together with all of the different angles, but very please with the end result.

My new wheel came in a couple of days ago. I had the wheel custom made and shipped from Europe for a steal of a price with stitching and top ring to match OEM Touring interior and while I had the airbag off, I added a little carbon fiber wrap around the switches:

Your new wheel is something else. I love it. Are you willing to give up your source and costs? Your Z is one of my favorite. Great great work all the way around.

This where I get my wheels from. He even uses my wheel in his pics. He's making one for the wife's Mini Cooper R58 JCW:
