Ordered some 25MM H&R Trak spacers and swift springs, and booked an appointment for paint correction and ceramic coating.

Excited to get her cleaned up for the summer.

I got a nail in my tire and didn't notice it was completely flat until I had already gotten onto a busy road so I had to drive on it a couple of blocks to get to the nearest parking lot. I've got to replace the tire but I'm hoping the wheel is ok.

Any of you with aftermarket under trays noticed higher bay temps?
I made my own shield, it's flat like older designs, recently I've noticed newer designs have incorporated vents/louvers which should aid in cooling. Wanted to get some input from folks in here.

Not particularly but the ZSpeed tray went on a week after I bought the Z. Have a 34 row cooler and when I was N/A temps rarely went above 193. Seemed to stabilize at 187, both coolant and oil.

I noticed that my temps stabilized as well however I think this is because of the closing of the bottom of the bumper by sealing it. However after the radiator the additional heat exchanging seems to have now entered the bay where is hotter than without the tray of course.

I think the louvers/vents of the aftermarket ones help a bit with removing this heat, just wanted to get some ideas. Thank you.

I have the Z1 tray, but I have a vented hood, so, unfortunately, my data will not be of any use.

If I'm moving, I hang around 185F coolant temperature. That's as of this week with 97+ degrees ambient temp. Adding some louvers to your design will help with cooling, so I don't see it hurting anything.

Changed my coolant, radiator hoses, belt, and tensioner.

Dang, those would look really good on my Black Cherry. I have the new Morimotos ordered, though.

Was going to do a simple wash but then my clay bars arrived via amazon. So I sprayed, foamed, sprayer, hand washed with two buckets, then dried, then ran a clay bar, rinsed the car, polish and waxed it. Was bothered because I did not clay bar it in the beginning of the season when I should have.

Also happy Father's day to you all.

I would recommend you to polish. Clay should always be followed by a polish as it mars the surface.

That sounds like a lot of work! I pulled my Z out of the garage bc it was raining and considered it washed after 25 minutes. Looks great... I think. :tiphat:

You clay bar because you have nothing better to do with your time. :icon14:
