Very nice! I had one as a rental when I had body work done on an SUV we used to have. I know what you mean. Most people don't get it when I spend 4-5 hours of detailing therapy.

Being lowered means that my plastic undershroud has taken a beating.

I picked up one of these Zspeed aluminum undershrouds from a local dude and will be installing it soon (it's missing a few bolts which are already on order)

beach- LOL @ wiping off drool from car.

G2Z - nice work! looks great. i luv that benz too, i want to get a C-series (probably a new one) for the wife next time.

btw, your lawn impresses me each time.

mr.onzedge- LOL!!!

waizzz- nice looking under shroud!

i placed my new tags on the plate on the Z today...that's all for today.

was like a wandering bear walking around in the basement tonight looking for props and background and stuff to use for my RC car shots. i just realized i might have slight artistic skillz for photography.

slap! kenchan wakes up to reality.

i gotz a headache now. hahaha.

FromG2Z · 08-03-2011, 11:01 PM

LOL thx ken. What's with my lawn? Am I the only one that mows? LOL. That's all I do... Honest....

Yeah I think you are a better photographer than me now for sure.

Beach, yes indeed...detailing is therapy for me. One time, I started at 6 am then I came out of my garage at supper. That's how focused I get....

Waizz, though I like that diffuser, wouldn't that also in turn get all scraped up just the same? Just keep the plastic oem one and replace that when it gets all scraped to hell. Might be cheaper too?

lol, you have to be doing something to get your lawn so green and even (color and height). it's like a pretty girl saying she eats a lot of everything and doesn't really exercise. no way~!

naw, im just spending more time on the camera that's all. im a pretty picky guy by personality so i just keep trying and trying and trying until my nose bleeds. (no my nose does not bleed.

) it's just the nature in me to keep trying until im happy with what i do.

^^^ I forgot to mention it -- the lawn is stunning. Please see my "What did you do with your Lawn today" thread, coming soon.

I got my Michelin Pilot Super Sport summer tires yesterday. Thank you Onzedge for your recommendation. I had 7250 on my original Bridestones. This is the most expensive set of rubber I've ever owned at $1680 with an alignment. Thats $0.23 per mile. The day I bought the car I remember asking myself "I wonder how much 19" tires will cost?", knowing that increasing from 16" to 17" added a bit.

Oh well you pay to play and I am playing.

7250?!?!?!
That's playing hard!

When buying my Z, I knew what I was getting into as far as tyres were concerned. The week I picked up my car, I labeled an envelope "tyre fund" and put it on my dresser next to where I keep my keys. Every day when I come home from work, I make a contribution to the envelope so that I'm not worried about the price tag when it's time for new rubber. I love having a job where I get tips!

Very clever to plan ahead.

I am going to Sears point Infinion Raceway for the Jim Russell School on how to drive your own car properly. My tires were below the tread limit so the timing was perfect. The chances of getting 7250 miles out of these new tires will be reduced by my track day Aug 20th.

alchemy imho that rear spoiler has too much down force just by looking at it.

i did the Mine's rear spoiler attachment. imho, this is the perfect duck bill for me. it's just right.

Great job

I'm really liking the ducktail trend, it makes me nostalgic for 80's era 911's.
