watched a clear bra get installed within 40 minutes of the car being polished

^ Nice man! What's cool is that most of your mods and history are same as mine [me: CF rear valence instead of black though]. I too owned an 03 G35 Coupe 6MT, then traded her in for the Z.

I ordered my 03 November 02 and got it in April...that was a long wait but I did skip winter. I'm enjoying the Gemini quite a bit. It was the perfect fit for me. How are you enjoying yours?

Red__Zed 08-05-2011 12:16 PM

Just keeping the Gemini streak alive because I can.

VERY much so. I think it's my favorite mod... well ok, clear bra is I guess, if you count that as one :) But yeah Invidia rocks. Perfect sound/tone...

Hey, I forgot to mention this to you, but make sure you have a shutter release cable/remote for your camera when using a tripod. Otherwise you're shots will come out blurry if you try to press the button while it's on the tripod.

kenchan 08-05-2011 02:02 PM

Nitex- were you able to resolve the rattling? :)

^^^^ This! You can also use the timer to let the camera "settle" prior to shutter release.

Why is the invidia the reason u aren't selling ur car? Because folks don't like mods? Maybe try to revert back to stock?

Basically a spray rubber coating. It PEELS off whenever you wanna remove it. Doing my rear and fangs black with it. Rear has first coat drying as we speak. Looks good so far.

Beautiful night here! 70s and no humidity. Took the roadster out for Thai. Going back out for a ride and to grab a movie. Then maybe a skinny dip with the wife! :excited: Relax, I won't post pictures and... Skinny Dip is a frozen yogurt place up the street. :tup:

kenchan 08-05-2011 10:01 PM

i think my G's factory battery is finally about to die.

i want to get a redtop..where do you guys shop for redtops online? :) i suppose i can just stop by my local autozone and grab one if they have the right one for my car.

Fire 08-05-2011 10:04 PM

Beach she cannot starve to death. Man are you a cheap date LOL Go out and give her some high test to drink. :tiphat: Wow I think I'll have to watch what pics I look at in the premium section.
Ken it's not the size of the camera it is what you do with it LOL:ughdance: OH and I got a black top, red body LOL Actually I go down to the local Auto Zone, they have them.

Fire 08-05-2011 10:08 PM

No Z action today. Had an ambulance call then worked all day on the new firetruck and ambulance to get them inservice to use. No time to call my detailer:shakes head: Have to call in the morning. Oh the fireman that was struck by lightning the other week was only in the hospital overnight and released.

kenchan 08-05-2011 10:17 PM

fire- great to hear the fireman was released! i always donate $ when my local fire dept is out collecting donations in their boot. :tup: hope you get your car detailed sooooon.

yah, i think im going to stop on over to autozone and pick one up soon. i jotted down the model number somewhere that is compatible with my G. i think it was the same one as the 370Z's. :)

Ok then.

Alchemy 08-06-2011 07:08 AM

Yawn, just woke up. Going outside to remove masking from around the rear bumper where I blacked it out yesterday. Hopefully my masking job is pretty straight, it was tough masking the curves. If it comes out good I will be Plasti Dipping the front fangs this morn:tup:

Alchemy 08-06-2011 08:03 AM

Ok removed masking tape. Edges came out slightly rough in spots. Im not positive the Plasti Dip fully cured. It was semi rubbery still and stuck to the tape as I peeled. Videos I have seen on youtube of guys removing it from wheels they painted ripped it off in in big soild pieces so I think it could cure longer. Looks pretty good, Ill be doing my fangs after breakfast.
