It's not as bad as you think. I was terrified when I did it the first time, but just follow the DIY's and keep your eye on them. I've seen the same abrasion/fog thing in a set that was DIY as well though.

Haha, are you talking about my lights??? haha it is there barely but m3chhawk noticed it before even i did. I did my lights by myself as well and you can do it over a weekend starting friday night paint it and put it back together by sunday. Baking is the most terrifying part, but just put lens up in oven and you dont really have to worry about melting anything as long as it doesnt touch in the oven.

It was considerably smaller than what mine have done. It's passenger side, very top corner where the lens meets the housing.

I had the truck today. I'll have to drive the Z there next Thursday. Thursday is the only time I'm there in the evening.

I didn't like the 13 front end at first, but the more I see it, the more I like it.

The 13 Nismo is still the same but with the different colored nismo wheels. I have not seen a non nismo 13 yet.

Regarding the next gen Z:

I'm guessing this means they will keep the Z as a 6-cyl
