yah, tilt sensors are hell of a lot more functional than wheel locks.

Say, did you strip the tint yourself, or have it done? If you had it done, would you care to share on how much they charged? Also, what %age did you go with? I'm in for pics!

Proximity sensing noise makers will def cause more troubles than it's worth, but the tilt and glass breakage is awesome. I had a Viper on my last vehicle and was able to program it to do all kinds of goodies automatically, like roll down or up the windows and pop the door locks in a particular order (1 press for driver and 2 for all doors), and pop the trunk glass or hatch with a separate button! It was awesome! If I wanted to, I could've had it open or close the moonroof too!

Yeah those tilt sensors are very cool. Also the viper alarms can detect hood or trunk openings too. I am thinking about that for christmas

Happy, the cost to remove the old ones were 25 bucks. Cheap. I'm sure I could have done them myself, but eh... better safe than sorry. The one I went with was 35%.

Here's a pic I just took tonight in the garage, but more tomorrow at our big car meet. This pic had flash on... it should look lighter in the sunlight.

I also modified that one pic that Ken said looked bad, so hopefully this is better.

Beach cool story... yeah that seems to be a common theme with our Z's.

happytheman · 08-11-2011, 06:33 AM

Looks great G2Z!

Hmm, I'm thinking of re-doing my tint as well. Did you take any preventative measures to keep the windows from sneaking down when you open the doors?

FromG2Z · 08-11-2011, 10:04 AM

^ hey happy! No, I did not have to do anything. According to the tint folks, they are fully aware of the nissans/infinitis having their windows lower upon opening and raising upon closing. Should be fine and no damage or movement they say. And besides, lifetime warranty, so if issues come up, I just bring it back.

I had no issues letting them do their minor moving. Had the tint on for like a year now.

kenchan · 08-11-2011, 11:01 AM

hey, that tint looks good, G2Z!

no Z action for me today but did glance at her a couple of times this am.

some younger girl in her 20's was checking out my cars yesterday while walking around the neighborhood with her guy. she even glanced back a few times after passing by my house.

funny the guy looked like he didn't care. yah you want one too sonny. lol

SPOHN · 08-11-2011, 11:25 AM

kenchan · 08-11-2011, 01:08 PM

Today was the first time I got pulled over in my Z. While getting onto Hwy 100 here in Cedar Rapids, got on it a bit. Got pulled over by from what I believe to be a detective. He had on a coat and tie and was wearing his badge on his belt. Asked for my license, checked me out, and because I had a clean record just gave me a warning. Told me to try and not squeal the tires too much. He did compliment me and said the car looked really nice. Did mention that it would be hard not to get on it once in awhile with my car. I thanked him and went on my way.

Steve you gotta take it easy there buddy

So today we went to a big local meet... met up with 3 Z's, along with other buddies. There were quite a few cars there. Good turnout.

Also found a good pic opportunity, and able to show you guys my new tint.

kenchan · 08-11-2011, 03:50 PM

after watching tongman's vid and DIY for the plasti-dip black emblems i think i want to do this too on my Z.

would match my silver/CF/black theme well. the only thing chrome right now are the emblems and it doesn't match anything.

The Plasti Dip is great. It has a textured look though. Im not sure how you would feel about the emblems being textured. I personally prob wouldnt mind it. It looks great on my fangs, has a real factory look to it. I say paint em Ken, worst comes to worst you can just peel the Plasti Dip off

The claims adjuster is evaluating my car monday. Im prob gonna stop by a shop tomorrow for a quick estimate. Going on vacation week after next and taking my z so she prob wont be fixed till the begining of sept. Damage is very slight but those little imperfections are killing me. Im really amazed how well it took the impact.
