Maybe it's me, but after removing the stock spring (I still haven't put the new one in yet), a lot of the clunks/clanks/rattles I heard/felt going from 1st to 2nd sorta disappeared. There's still sometimes an ugly sound... but it's not nearly as bad and I don't nervously look around anymore to see who heard me flip the cement mixer switch.

I think I spent a hour taking the plasti dip off. Some of the stuff wouldn't come off with my fingers so I used tape. I took off the fog light to get into the crevice. Lesson learned. Now I'm thinking of getting a cf overlay.

I just missed the construction that was done in our building parking lot after I left yesterday. No one coned it but my usual spot and about 30 others had been jack hammered with 8 inch deep and three foot by three foot holes for some reasons. I go in at 5:30 a.m. so it is still dark but saw them in time. Could have been a rough entry. Of course, I had a long discussion with the facility manager, who claimed he did not know any thing about it. RIGHT! The night guard told me was notified but not the number.

I need a car that can drown them out completely

Yeah i have no idea what he is referring to. My wife and i go out in the z all the time with highway jaunts, and we both have no issue with conversations.

yah, really. road noise didn't bother me one bit when i was running the stock 19's. even quieter now with the conti DW's which wasn't really the intent of getting the DW's but an added bonus. :)

Smart thinking. Wife and I have an xterra as our primary dd (Z is a semi dd), and we're probably going to unload it soon and get something that gets over 16mpg. :ugh2: (I'm going to miss the hell out of that truck tho).

actually seriously considering this to replace the xterra. I had a blast on the test drive but it is kinda cramped for me and that's especially true if I'm in the passenger seat so I'm gonna go retest drive one again soon and see if I play with all the seat adjustments more etc if I can find that "perfect comfy spot" both in the driver and passenger seats. (it sucks being 290lbs sometimes).

I dont think it looks too much like spray paint, especially because of the texture. I think it give my fangs a sorta factory look. I should have a big PD on my chest, I love the stuff.

I really think the plasti dip is something to do for a temp basis..just to see if you would really like the mod before committing to it.

I would've completely lost my cool! Yah, there is no way the facility manager new nothing about it.

Glad your Z is ok though. :tup:
