Hummmmm...yah that's quite a contrast. I too would either get the rear done ina lighter shade or get the front tinted just a tad. :)

G2Z- that looks good! And the civic's paint looks phenominal. :tup:
I think your CF wrap is a tad more glossy than DiNoc and the recessed area appears more silver too. Looks good regardless. I kinda like the DiNoc's matte dry carbon finish for my interior bits. Exterior I'm using real CF and glossy. :D

Just got done swapping my G's spacers to add another 5mm's. Its very flush now and drives super frikken nice. I luv my new tires. :p (19x9 ET15 & 19x10 ET15)

washed my z for the first time in 3 weeks dang rain

Dude..I'm feeling you on that one! It's actually been two weeks for me..but I'm accustomed to washing her like 1x per wk. :ugh2:

I know this is a Z forum..but you're more than welcome to share shots of your G you know? :tup:

Waizzz..with or without tint your Z33 still looks fooking badass!:yum:

Uprev done!

I'm just going to get the front tinted again but lighter, F the Police :icon17:

Pics of the G!

Thanks man!

yep same

Dude your paint looks SO good. It's something that bothers me about my Z every time I pull it out the garage - under the sun all you can see is a mess of swirls. I bought it at 5000 miles and it was already like that. I do my best to take care of it but the swirls drive me crazy. So do you always wash ONR? Which product? I really need to fix my sh!t.

As for me today; DIY CF vinyl wrapped b-pillars. :p

Door handles next.

gave her a nice wash and wax:happydance:

hahaha, yah, i needz to get DSLR first... :icon14:
there a few picts i took in my albums page in the past... but she looks better this am with the new offsets. :yum:

nice~ i need to get this done someday to rid the delay on throttle...



yah, slight tint will make that look real good imo! :tup:

picts of G... no DSLR... :crying: yet. :p


b-pillar looks :yum: :tup:

Thanks Ken :) Took ages to get the measurements right and manually cut a good template. Worked out though.

Door handles have been removed and are getting painted.....

yah, wat i do is take a blank sheet of paper and a stylus to get the basic outline. then i use my pen and scissors to trim the paper to size to make the template. :)

sometimes i cut too much and so use masking tape on the template and recut.

the b-pillar template took me only a few min to make using this technique.

Only got a couple. I made it there right as the sun was setting so had to move fast. :driving:

Just passed through. Took a detour from Charlotte to Knoxville. Highway 28 was almost as much fun as the dragon.

Yeah, I loved 28. You headed to knoxville then?

Tanooki, Those CF B-Pillars look really good. What brand vinyl did you go with?

Thanks bro! I appreciate it! Your B-pilllars look awesome!!! Did you use DiNoc? I think my 1080 is a little more glossy. I will use that on my PW Z. Anyone have a pic of the b-pillars in CF on a white Z???

Yeah swirls are a big no-no ;) To properly deswirl, you'll need to polish. To polish, you will need a buffer (DA or rotary...I use DA's, as they are safer...my Flex is a DA, but with power of a rotary), pads, and polishes. After that, you can glaze it if you like, then seal, then wax.

Proper washing and QD'ing techniques are a MUST to maintain a swirl-free finish. It's all in the technique. It's too lengthy to go over here, but let's just say I take 2 hours to wash using several buckets, mitts, a foam gun, a leaf blower and lots of QD :P

ONR is short for Optimum No Rinse... look it up. It's revolutionary (if used properly). I use ONR only when I have heavy dust. If it got rained on, it must be a 2 or 3 bucket wash for sure.

I stayed there last night. Back home in Indy now...getting ready to head to Michigan for the holiday weekend. Leaving the z home for this trip though.

Changed the oil.

cool. i got a 5qt jug of Mobil1 waiting for my Z. :yum: said the Z.

I used Mobil 1 for two oil changes and I do not think I want to use it anymore. After about 2,000 miles, my engine was a bit noisy when idling. I never have the issue with Red Line and am going back to it (or maybe Eneos).

Have a safe 4th, Mr. Kenchan. Don't blow off any of your fingers with the fireworks -- it would hamper your shifting ablity.

Yes it would hinder his motoring, wouldn't it? I wonder..is Kenchan a palm shifter or a shaft shifter? If it's the former..he might do ok! :icon17:

I started using Eneos ...switched from mobil 1

How is the Eneos?

liking it better.

not sure about the noise you're talking about with the mobil 1
is it kind of like a clattering noise? if so i havent noticed it on the eneos
and the eneos helps me get up to 180 easier which is good since i have an oil cooler

ps...i used mobil 1 for 2 oil changes prior to switching

my springs came!!!

overnight ftw

When you getting them installed?

tomorrow morning!

Really? Hummmmm...I've been using this stuff on my Z and G and past cars for like a decade. No issue with noise. :confused: Have a nice 4th too, mr.onzedge! :tup: yes, I will ensure to hold the fireworks in my mouth while motoring. :D. ;)

Hahahaha! :D I think I am a palm shifter.

Woah! That was fast! :tup:

Today, I had my front wheels installed correctly after I initially putting them on backwards :owned:

Bath. Tons of brake dust.

i wish i knew all of the abbreviations you guys use haha. i need me a cheat sheet with all of em cuz i get lost, no joke:wtf::confused:

haha (haha is laughing) which ones dont you know?

+1

I'm curious too!:icon17:

haha you guys are just gonna laugh at me, but here are jsut a few that i saw on a couple of posts back(but there is a TON more that i dont know) :(

ok here they are: OEM, DA, ONR, QD, CF. thats all i got right now lol

Original Equipment Manufacturer (typically original as opposed to aftermarket product), Dual Action (random orbital polisher), optimum No Rinse (waterless wash product), Quick Detailer (used for removing water spots and sometimes bug guts/bird doo) and Carbon Fiber (self explanatory)! :tup:

alright awesome. that clears up a little confusion lol. im still trying to pick up the lingo you guys got going on :tup:

No worries man! You'll get really accustomed to seeing it soon enough!:happydance:
