To fix that 3m wrap was supposed to be ordered and some fiberglass job was needed. Then they offered me a free respray and fixing rather then ordering a new bumper and vinyl roll from US which costs a bit more. They prefer to compensate by their labour rather then spending money on parts and shipping.

As a courtesy I bought some paint parts like clear coat cans etc. I am very happy with the outcome it hurts a bit that I couldnt keep the wrap for a bit longer as initial plan was to keep till end of the year but I am happy with the outcome.

Can't wait to see the new photoshoot! It's gonna be hot!:tup:

^ I looked at those but I would want a step lip. Staggered look.

SophiaZ 06-25-2011 07:34 PM

Wash n wax the Z..polished his shoes...and went for a cruise. Finally met the owner of an 04 PW 350z I always see around town. He made his Z sound like shyt the way he was talking and drooling over mine :happydance:

I drove for over 8 hours on some of the nicest roads in Maryland, including mountains, reservoirs, highways, small town roads, and farm land.

I love this car.

I live about an hour and a half from it.

The roads I was out on today, though, were all out west by Frederick. And the pic I took was at Pretty Boy Dam.

Sorry to hear that Red. Everytime I get in mine the LAST thing I am is bored. What are you considering as a replacement? If its a new junkstang I'd seriously consider sobering up before placing the for sale sign on her.

it's ok kenchan, one less person to complain about the so called "deficiencies" in the Z as he has seemed to have done ever since i joined the forums. No offense Red, but it gets tiring reading your posts when every other one of them is a complaint against the Z and how you want to get rid of it. GL with your next purchase though man and hope you get what you want out of your next car :)

At Cannery Row -- A 71 the guy bought new and still has. He paid $4,400.00:

There's just nothing that really interests me to do with it. I can throw on some rims and brakes, a proper LSD, and maybe a supercharger...but I don't think I'll be happy with it. I got into the Z thinking it'd be something fun to DD that I could keep the warranty, but I think I want more. No point staying with the Z if I'm going FI...I will probably build another AP1 before FI'ing the Z.

We will see how it goes. There haven't been many biters on the car at this price, and I like it enough not to undersell it. I may hang onto it. I think with the right mods it may turn out to be a better car. I will probably have a better LSD in later on, and I think that may sort out some things. Proper rubber will help a bit more as well. I just don't know what I'm going to do for power.

Having ridden in m4's mustang on the dragon, I have to say it felt significantly more composed than the Z, not to mention much more powerful.

Nice road trip. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Exactly how I feel about my Z... I absolutely love it. Driving it 1x a week because of this crappy weather is getting to me :shakes head:

Red, you were one of the ones who convinced me to get Invidia too... :(

Good luck to you bro...

My gf and I are going to "motor" the z over to the local lebanese place and grub down. Then to a hidden lot out of public reach where one can wild out a bit..Apparently g-force makes girl's panties drop :tup:

PapoZalsa 06-26-2011 05:34 PM
