I was thinking Bilstien coilovers for a while but I did not want to spend that much so it is Swifts now and Koni dampers when the stock units wear out. Hopefully, Koni will be making them by that time.

Well last night I decided to Plasti Dip my fangs to see how I like it. I asked for it to be PS'd but no luck in the PS thread. I snapped these pics like 30min at Starbucks. What do you guys think? Should I make it permanent or take it off?

Mr OnZedge, Thanks for the 411. Good info. Either GTM or Z1 or...the new water cooled....the jury is still out on that one. Def will stop by to check out the driveway ramp...funny when someone first said "curb" ramp, I though how odd doing oil changes on a curb ramp. In this part of the country it is called the driveway...which is a lower curb than the rest of the street curb as it was put....haha..Got me for a second.

Have good weekend Mr Onzedge!

Footloose -- I like the black fangs look, myself. Take some more pics in brighter sunlight -- it will show the contrast more.

Be safe on your road excursion today and let me know when you want to swing by. :tup:

Footloose, I like it.

Heres one with a little bit more light. Also, I did tman1985's last night but his is satin black with clear and mine is plasti dip. Unfortunately the Florida weather isn't great for pics today.

Pretty sure I heard people saying Koni has no plans for us.

Both look great. I love black fangs. My car is in the body shop now gettn a new hood and bumper thanks to a deer. First thing Im doin when I get her back next week is re-plasti dipping my fangs:tup: I also asked for my old bumper back, which really has no damage. IDK why they are replacing it. Im gonna play around with making some air vents for my Stillen G3s

How well does the plasti dip hold up? Is there really any reason for me to tear it off and actually paint it?

I hope that is not true. Their website says "To be announced".

Koni North America - ITT -2010 Nissan 370Z Catalog Search

Had mine on for months and it holds up VERY well!!! No chips or scrapes of any kind. No need to paint unless you dont like the textured finish of the Plasti Dip. I like the fact that you can remove it whenever you want:tup:

Ditto

I spoke with Koni reps several times last year, and again about a month before I sold the car. They've got nothing in the pipeline for the Z.

That is not happy news. That makes me a sad Panda.

Yeah I was not terribly happy about it either. I guess when the car is moving 10k units a year and the rest of the aftermarket isn't exactly booming, it doesn't make good business sense though.

footloose- you're on a roll! :tup: looks good, i like the contrast.

yah, i wish koni would make dampers for us... oh well. looks like i'll be just running stock for a while then.

motored my Z this am. :p was a great drive. :D looks like no walmart super sale this am, traffic was light and no garbage around. :p came home, did a quick QD on the front surfaces. hope to pull her out again tomorrow am.

doing house chores today... :icon14:

Saturday greetings, Mr. Kenchan. :hello:

happy saturday, mr. onzedge! :tup:

Go reel up the hose after you are done using the lawn sprinkler.:bowrofl:

I think they both look great.

Honestly, if you aren't going the CF cover route, Plast-dip makes the most sense to "paint" something that low on the front of the car - chip resistent.

Gave my babe a wash. Then I decided to remove all the rear panels. Oh I going hard core now.

You crazy...

I haven't washed mine in over a month. It's FILTHY. I also haven't taken it over 3k rpms in over 2 weeks. Two months away can't come any sooner...

I drove her for the first time in 6 months!! :happydance: Being deployed sucks, but coming back and being able to upgrade my baby makes it all that much better!!! :tup:

Wow! With all that added HP, I figured you'd be on it all the time! :)

Looks like rain tomorrow. Might still pull her out for a drive. :p.

Random shot of a couple of smart (alec) Z car guys:

Thank you for serving our country. If it were up to me, all people in service would get a free Z when they come home.

Missed it. I've been in Dallas all week.
Glad I washed and covered her before I flew out. Hope we get some clean, dry roads this week. My driving season is winding down fast!!!

I had a busy day yesterday!

I drove 60 miles to a Mazda meet:

Then I drove the 60 miles back home and got inspired from all the nice cars at the meet so I washed the Z. :tup:

:tup::tup:

;)

Long overdue! I haven't seen my Z that dirty in awhile.

Tested out a free GPS iPhone app on the way home called Waze. It worked really well and you just can't beat the price. It's interesting in that it has a social aspect to it. If your average speed drops below a certain range, it asks you if there's an accident or some other element causing the congestion. This input automatically notifies all other Waze users in the area of the issue. There is also input for intersection cameras and speed traps where police are hiding out.

Check it: Free GPS Navigation with Turn by Turn - Waze

:icon17: mr.onzedge - looks like you guys were having lots of fun with the Z's. :D


motored my Z early this am as i knew it was going to rain later today. barely any traffic. :tup: was a great drive. got home, QD'ed and cleaned the inside glass as well. :p hope to get a couple more runs before end of season. :)

.. drove my Z for like an hour yesteday .. after being parked for TWO WEEKS !!! :) i love my car :)

Since we are on the topic of washing cars, what can I use to strip the wax off? I want to get a fresh start and figured I could strip the wax off, clay it, and then rewax the car. Any thoughts or suggestions?

how long have you had the car? i just clayed it and polished it and waxed it

i was told not to do it right away gotta let the clear coat break in?

Since March, but in that time it has covered 13k miles and unfortunately has to sit outside.
