Nice! Now all you need is shift lights in the top element of the steering wheel.

I washed the Z, (used a clay bar while washing) and applied a High Gloss Sealant Glaze. I am used to simple wash/wax and then polish but I have decided to try a sealant. This is the first time I have used this kind of product and I like the results. The directions say use extremely sparingly only like 1.5 oz for the entire car which makes sense because if you apply heavier you will have your work cut out when buffing it out, it is like 5 times harder to remove than wax. It definitely provides a more glossy look than a wax/polish and is supposed to last much longer than the traditional stuff. If you try it do a small section first to test how you apply it and more importantly when you remove it. It dries it about 15 minutes but it dries clear so unlike wax you really have to look at an angle in the right lighting to see where you missed. Below is a link if interested. I only applied one coat but the directions say more coats you apply the more glossy the result.

Thank you and yes I did.

Whats up fellas? The northeast snow storm hit us hard here in NJ over the weekend. Had to deal with the aftermath the past couple days. Trees down everywhere. Ive never seen a snow storm do so much damage. We got 12.5 inches of WET snow!! There are still leaves on the trees which is a recipe for disaster. Trees collected too much snow and couldnt handle the weight. Luckily my Z is still in the body shop so it wasnt in my driveway. I should be getting her back in a day or two with a fresh hood, bumper and paint :tup:

dang, that's crazy! :icon14: good timing for doing body work. :tup: lol i always hear stories of trees falling on cars and houses during wet snow storms. luckily for me our complex is still sort of new and trees are only about 10+yrs old. not big yet. :D

no z action for me today...

pedZ 11-01-2011 09:34 AM

Today is "take your Z to work day" for me. No special reason. I just feel like driving it. :tup:

Awesome!! You will love the Swifts, they are amazing. I run the CNT test pipes and like them as well. They were a great value, Im sure the exhaust is a good deal as well.

Very nice! Reminds of when I lived in Fresno back in the day, and we stored raisins in those wooden crates.

I use the same ramps. Even being dropped on Swifts, entry and exit are not a problem though the black trim pieces will rub on the rubber. One thing I can't do now though is back in the driveway due to the angle I have to take after being dropped. :tiphat:

Thanks -- I think it is the dustiest my 370 has ever been. It was windy out there and I was wondering if one of those 2500 pound prune bins would fall on me.

ClemsonWill 11-02-2011 10:05 AM

Drove her to work one last time before the wheels come off and she gets an oil change.

mr.onzedge, 3 more trips to that site, you can save your money on a complete matt-black vinyl wrap.

You could always pull a 10 point turn if your driveway is narrow :roflpuke2:


Just to get that "backed in" appeal
