Good to see you can sleep at work Ken LOL I won't tell your boss, if you pay me enough that is LOL. Today I replaced my fuel gauge overlay that I screwed up before. Made room in the "trunk" for this weekends trip to Carlisle. If it doesn't rain I'm off to the local cruise night tonight.:ughdance:

Fire- hahaha... :D reality is ive not had any time to nap yet... :ugh2: im on less than 5hrs of sleep the last few days working on that lip so im starting to feel floaty and good. :tup: ;) jk im 70% here. :icon17:

have fun tonight at the cruise.


no Z action for me today but did check her out this am while taking out the trash and pulling out my G. :p hopefully tomorrow i can clear the lip ..

I hear that, been up late three nights in a row, 2-3 hrs sleep per night catches up quick. I called in sick today just to get some more sleep. We have sunny 77-80 degree weather today and the next few days on west coast. I will send some your way.

Today washing car # 1 , probably do a light interior detail. Then concentrate on new GoPro and additional interior camera mount for DSLR for a run on Sat.

Thinking of starting my project to paint my stock Roadster base rims Matte Black today...

Look forward to pics False. I'm thinking of checking into getting my rims and trim pieces changed to flat black. Have to check into prices and who can do it. Also how to do them. Powder coat vs painted.:stirthepot:

Zforce- sounds like a fun project. i want to mount a camera in my Z too someday.

bout matte-black wheels.... i suppose you can paint them yourself using duplicolor wheel spray paint. ive painted wheels in the past and the trick for me was to get like 4 cans which is more than enough but use all 4 in rotation one after the other before the pressure inside drops too much. just keep touching the can and once it starts to get kinda cold just switch cans. matte is easy to paint vs gloss. :)

hey i ordered up kelly's hood damper kit. :p yet another step closer to the PWJDM battery/brake CF covers. :D

I'd say the wheels will need to be chem. stripped then done eh? You obviously don't know my lack of painting ability LOL. It is matched only by my total lack of typling ability.

I usually suction cup my go-pro to the inside of my rear window. You see everything, me, the interior, out the windshield and even my feet working the pedals. But I do like the idea of a interior mount for my Nikon D90, never even thought of that. Not quite sure what kind of pics Id take with it though. What kinda shots you lookin to set up w that ZForce???

I'm gonna follow a DIY Thread on here:
Simple green clean the wheels
200-400 Grit Sandpaper on them
Prime
Paint
Clear

Will post pics showing progress...recently moved and realized I can't find my jack stands :( So I'll prob jack up the front and do the fronts today, let dry, remount, and do the rears tomorrow/over the weekend.

Good luck man! I'm interested to hear/see how it turns out!

Yes. :pics:

Fire- no need to chem etch the factory paint off.

below looks good. i'd probably stick with 800 grit and go without priming since there's paint already on the wheel. :)

like-like sticks well.

Thanks for your posts here guys. Always appreciate the help on here.:ughdance:

Ok, well...things didn't go as planned...

Started off good...got the front 2 wheels sanded:
