It quit raining, so I took a few photos. Besides the glamour shots, I included a few pictures of the stitching dye job, my first attempt using Di-Noc and the Nav By-pass switch where I covered the seat diagram with the Z button from a valve stem cap. Still waiting for my matte finish carbon fiber interior bits. Should see those in a few weeks.

When I get the Nismo nose job done, and the interior bits installed, I'll probably create a real album.

Lots to look forward to in the next few weeks!

Looking sharp, Mr. Gurneyeagle.

Looks great! I really need to do the same to mine. I HATE not having a garage right now, but I LOVE no rent. I don't know about you, but that DiNoc stuff is sooooo easy to use, and it can be addicting.

Thank you. It is really easy, and worth the effort.

I just exchanged e mails with Baker Tuning, and the springs just got ordered, so I'm in deep now. Install for everything is now scheduled for Dec 8 - 16 while I'm out of town on a business trip. Hopefully, my carbon fiber interior trim will be in soon too.

I'll post pics when it's all done. The before and after should be pretty dramatic.

haha, been kinda wanting to wrap new tires on my weds so been driving spiritedly the last couple of times. not that there's anything wrong with my DW's, i just dont like the rubber material they are using on the sidewalls as it blooms too easily. i want to try the supersports next season...


motored my Z today... was a great drive. they sprinkled salt on some of the intersections in the woods so my car has salt particles on the side panels but will motor her again tomorrow and do a full bucket wash if it looks like snow this weekend. suppose to be pretty warm tomorrow.
