not fully decided yet...

probably either the TWM or the PWJDM.

the issue is not really in my Z cause i only take her out on weekends, but in my G which has a metal TWM knob right now.. it gets SUPERHOT while parked at the office in the sun so i want to use my Z's knob on the G and get a new knob for the Z. (i distroyed my G's knob while removing it back like 6yrs ago.

As luck would have it, now that the weather has warmed up here in the Northeast, I hurt my back from lifting an amplifier and now am watching my Z sit in the garage. So for all of you out there over 50 or have back problems, here's my advice; DRIFT...DON'T LIFT! Have fun with your Zs, I'll be back in the saddle soon!

ordered up a roll of Xpel protector 7ft x 4" wide to do the side of the car.

i found some minor kickup chips on the very bottom 3" of the car from when i was running 20mm spacers up front on stock 19's.

i measued 6ft each side and didnt feel like paying $190 for the pre-cut side pieces from autopaintguard.com so got the generic roll for less than $50 shipped.

will trim to shape and squeegee on.

Have you put paint protector on before? If so, can you tell me how difficult/easy it is? I've been considering get the pre-cut kit fir the front end.

Yep I do my own clearbra install so putting on a slap of straight clear is very easy.
I think this site still has how to but anyway, the biggest tip of the day is ALWAYS keep your finger tips wet with solution when handling the adhesive side.

otherwise you get permanent finger prints on the clearbra.

Went to the paint shop cause I was in town. I took my rear wing in Wed. for paint and the said it would be done today. Sitting right where I set it was my untouched wing. WTF now they said it would be donee Mon so I told them I would pick it up Wed. Doesn't anybody stick to promissed delivery times? Why do we ask for projected finish times?
