The body shop will notice the abnormal frame damage 9 times out of 10.

I drove my 240 to my office today -- the first time in months. I forgot the noise and smell of it -- I missed her. Anyone with noise complaints on the 370, come on out to Sac for a ride and you will think your 370 is a Caddy.

Have a great day. :tup:

Very cool! :tup:

well.... ok, I dropped my Z off at my installer. Getting the b-pillars, front black bumper trim, and kick plates 3M Scotchprinted CF, then getting hood 22" clear bra'd..... (yes, I decided to do that). Wish me luck... (I'm nervous about the 22" :()

Also, I may decide not to do the fenders.... since it's pretty hidden from the front face anyways...

Howd it turn out? :D

Wow, sorry to hear that. :(

So I finished the Z's oil change, went to recycle the old oil, fixed the backup camera since I was suddenly getting uncontrolled screen scrolling. Turned out the 12v wire I tapped for the camera module had thin wire inside the thick jacket so I use the wrong size tap. :rolleyes: Used my knife to cut off a section of the jacket and used a smaller wiretap. Tested like 20 times. Fixed. :D

Then washed my white Fit Sport. :p

Removed the cubby hole door today. I...have...a....plan.

Uh oh... what do you have planned?!?!?!?!

^ It's going to take some time to get what I want right. But it will be my own work. But there's a gauge involved. That's all I'm saying.... Cricket sounds

Alright... I just got the car back and took some pics. Overall, I am impressed with the install. Thanks to those who helped convince me to get a clear bra on the hood... I went with the 22" cut. I also 3M ScotchPrinted the b-pillars and front trim (along with rear valence from the other day). Let me know what you guys think :)

Clear bra, 22" hood (will do the fenders tomorrow)
[can you guys see the line in natural light?]

Here is a more visible line, after playing with the LED flash on my EVO...

Then I had the b-pillars done. I must say, this looks 100x better in person. I love this "mod", if you call it that... lol

And lastly, I did the front bumper trim. So now, it is all "tied" together. The rear valence, the b-pillars, and the front bumper trim. All that's left are the kick plates. Can someone tell me how to remove them???

Needs some painted headlights. Every Z should at least have that. I just hate the chrome.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Painted / color matched headlights look cheesy IMO. I just refuse to paint mine.

:shakes head:

G2Z, the CF wrap looks great! I really like the wrap on the bumper finisher as well! Great idea!

I really need to do the B pillars because the prior owner scratched the drivers side one... It doesn't look too bad, but it bothers me.
