What did you do with your Z today

gurneyeagle

On a positive note - washed and did my first uber detailing with Griot's paint Sealant and Best of Show Wax. Found a small clear coat scratch on the lower driver's door and was able to buff it out.

On the negative side - picked-up my Texas plates and mounted the front bracket. I can deal with drilling the holes in the front facia, but the bracket is a p.o.s. What dolt would design a plate bracket that is so shallow, the backing nuts really don't fit properly?

I reversed the clips for now, but the plate sticks out from the bracket which leads to my other negative for the day. With the lousy fit of the plate on the bracket, I decided to just attach the plate to the bracket with my new roll of 3M VHB tape, but it's miraculously disappeared. I had to order it from 3M because I couldn't find any at Home Depot or Lowes. Arghhh!

I'm going to figure out a better permanent solution for the front plate. I'm going to look for some really thin nuts and a set of short screws that will work behind the bracket.

Houston Cars and Coffee is next Saturday, and I want it fixed when I show up. Here's a picture pre-plates:

Cool. Their instruction in Japanese wasn't that great either. It said place mounting tape on back side. No duh... wat they wanted to say was the tape is to make contact with the very rear portion of the factory spoiler.

Cleaned every loose item out of my car to prepare for my first AutoX event tomorrow Only things left are: radar detector, floor & trunk mats, spare tire and tools. They will all come out right before the race.

BTW -- OUR SPARE WHEEL LOOKS COOL

Thanks for the props guys. Now I need to descide what I want done at the shop. I think a nav/rear cam settup. Have to read on the audio/vis area to see what looks good and what will utilize some of what I already have like serius and blue tooth. Hey Ken read back to my questions on the lugs.

@Luna,

Nice pic! I always feel self conscious after going to a BBQ as I can always smell the food on my clothes afterwards and I don't want my car to smell like BBQ.

OMG GR8 your avitar shows a serious breach of topless law. No running of car with top down and windows up. J/K but really the windows should be down The vert automatically pulls the BBQ smell out when your speed excedes 60 mph with the top and windows down.
