On another note, I knocked 8k into the odometer today with a nice highway drive.

I agree.... if it won't buff out with a PC/DA, dr. chip it, then buff again. Nice job on turning 8k man! I turned 2k last weekend! :)

No Z action for me today... got her retinted yesterday, so letting that dry up. I'm also considering getting a viper alarm set. Anyone have that? They have ones now that have a 2 way transmitter so you know if your car is going off, from a mile away, or an app for your smart phone for you to arm it, get notified if a window is broken, tilted 3degrees or more for wheel jacking, and just when it's going off. I am even tempted to get the proximity sensor, with a loud siren stating "GET THE F*** AWAY FROM THE CAR".

although that would probably cause me even MORE unwanted attention.:ugh2:

G2Z- :tup: on the tint, hope to see picts. :)

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

no z action for me either today. just glaced over at her this am. :yum:

Ok, so I took the ZR to the have the 15k service done and picked up the loaner. 2011 Altima base model. Yuk. Anyway, I pulled the Z up to the drop off bay and stepped out of the car. The attendant girl looked me in the eye and said "Man, that thing is sexy!" I thanked her and told her it was a lot of fun.

So when I went back to pick it up I had to wait for my service advisor to get off the phone with another customer. As we were talking, I noticed she was staring over my shoulder. She stopped mid sentence, paused for a moment, and said "I'm sorry. That car is so freaking hot, I can't stand it." I realized she was looking through the glass into the drop off bay at the roadster. :happydance:

Now you know how I feel when I log on in the evening! For the most part I cannot log on during the day and just get overwhelmed by all the posts on this thread.... Truth be told...it's a good overwhelmed.

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!
: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.

kenchan 08-11-2011 11:01 AM

hey, that tint looks good, G2Z! :tup:

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

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

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

SPOHN 08-11-2011 11:25 AM

No action till Saturday

370ztech 08-11-2011 12:40 PM

I'd like to join this fray if I may :hello:

I just added the OEM 370Z Rear Spoiler (linky) to my '09 370Z. After much deliberation over which spoiler to bolt onto my baby I decided to finally plunk down my hard-stolen cash on the OEM unit. It's subtle yet sublime, adding an understated aggressive aesthetic improvement to the already sexy rear :tup:

Next up- a tasty after market exhaust!

Thanks Ken. Yeah, I get that too whenever I have the garage open and working on the car, or on the driveway and working the interior or exterior.

Meaning, your tint moved slightly or your window moves slightly up and down as normal?

congrats and welcome. Yeah OEM spoiler FTW, although, I do like the Mine's add on too, and I think Alchemy had a duck style spoiler that looked good too.

kenchan 08-11-2011 01:08 PM

yah, OEM spoiler + Mine's = FTW! :tup:
