Which One First??
What's up everyone!
I have a tough decision to make that I would like some input on. I am planning to have my Mine's rear spoiler and Top Secret front lip clearcoated to protect them from fading/yellowing. I also will be installing an oil cooler shortly. My question is, which one should I do first?? I am in AZ so we have lots of sun (fading of the carbon fiber) and heat (HOT OIL!!!). That said, my Z is not in the sun very much as I either work from home where it is garaged, and my office has underground parking. My only driving comes from my fun drives, and occasionally a client call here in AZ. I am not tracking the car yet, but do have 'fun' drives when I do drive. I plan to do one of these at the end of next month and the other in Feb/March of 2011. Help me decide por favor!! |

Since you don't track the z you don't need an oil cooler. But you need to put clearcoat on your cf.

The CF trend has been around for years!!! A few people really use CF for weight reduction.

I can understand a lip or wing left unpainted but what's the attraction to CF being a "cosmetic" touch? I mean seriously... it's just straight up ugly!  edit: I guess the problem lies in the "trend" part of it. But to each their own! |

you should just remove the bits from your car to get them clearcoated WHILE you work on your oil cooler install.
