I was thinking Bilstien coilovers for a while but I did not want to spend that much so it is Swifts now and Koni dampers when the stock units wear out. Hopefully, Koni will be making them by that time.

Well last night I decided to Plasti Dip my fangs to see how I like it. I asked for it to be PS'd but no luck in the PS thread. I snapped these pics like 30min at Starbucks. What do you guys think? Should I make it permanent or take it off?

Mr OnZedge, Thanks for the 411. Good info. Either GTM or Z1 or...the new water cooled....the jury is still out on that one. Def will stop by to check out the driveway ramp...funny when someone first said "curb" ramp, I though how odd doing oil changes on a curb ramp. In this part of the country it is called the driveway...which is a lower curb than the rest of the street curb as it was put....haha..Got me for a second.

Have good weekend Mr Onzedge!

Footloose -- I like the black fangs look, myself. Take some more pics in brighter sunlight -- it will show the contrast more.

Pretty sure I heard people saying Koni has no plans for us.

Both look great. I love black fangs. My car is in the body shop now gettn a new hood and bumper thanks to a deer. First thing Im doin when I get her back next week is re-plasti dipping my fangs:tup: I also asked for my old bumper back, which really has no damage. IDK why they are replacing it. Im gonna play around with making some air vents for my Stillen G3s

Footloose301 10-29-2011 09:53 AM

How well does the plasti dip hold up? Is there really any reason for me to tear it off and actually paint it?

I hope that is not true. Their website says "To be announced".

Had mine on for months and it holds up VERY well!!! No chips or scrapes of any kind. No need to paint unless you dont like the textured finish of the Plasti Dip. I like the fact that you can remove it whenever you want:tup:

I spoke with Koni reps several times last year, and again about a month before I sold the car. They've got nothing in the pipeline for the Z.

That is not happy news. That makes me a sad Panda.
