Just got my 370 back from the body shop. While fixing the bumper damage from the Range Rover hitting me the owner did a couple other things.

Here's one shot, I'll get more later.

Shot the hood and Grille/Fangs in black, filled the license plate holes.

yah, no worries about the strap wrench. Its someting worth a try to salvage the stock knob, but if the wrench breaks be ready to tear it up.

Did one side of xpel on the rocker. After a break will do the other side.

There's a faint line about 4" up.

I am beginning to wonder how hard it would be for a total beginner to put one of those pre-cut kits on the front end of my Z?

Precut ones aren't too bad. Only trick is you need to be patient, fingers always wet while handling, never force a bubble out.

G2Z - here u go. I used this thick stuff along the bottom of the rockers to prevent front tire kick up scratches. While I was running ET27 up front, the sides began showing tiny chips.

Nothing. It is cool and rainy here. The Z stays in the garage.

Both. We are going to try to mount the oil cooler in a different location and I'm going to bleed the coolant system. The issue MUST be solved in time for ZDayz.

The drive in to work is always alot better ever since I bought my 370!

Ooops forgot you were boosted. That system is sick! Where's the extra heat coming from? Increased stress due to forced induction or poor coolant design?
