Got the car out of storage yesterday. Even thought it was 31deg, the roads are dry and clear. took a 60mi trip to get gas (4.09 ouch) and pick up some brewing supplies. Going to make some Irish stout today.

I have some homebrew bourbon oak Imperial Stout aging as we speak. I think I am going to let it age for about 6 months or so. I only helped my buddy with the brew he is the brewing mastermind. He actually works for Mendocino brewing and makes some really good brews.

I made a few orders in the last couple days.

Invidia Gemini
Eibach Sways
Carbon Signal Type N add on wing

Once the wing gets in I will have all of my exterior mods (other than wheels) sitting in my garage. I have had the Stillen lip, evo-r side blades, evo-r rear diffuser, and black pearl emblems sitting around for several months now. I just refused to put any exterior mods on the car until after I had the bolt on power mods installed.

After I get the exhaust on and then a tune I should be a go on installing all the exterior mods.

Good day! Sunny nice, perfect day in South Germany and the Z is out of the body shop. Newly painted hood, front and rear bumpers. Can't wait to get the first coat of polish/wax on it. The shop did a great job. Helps that I live right behind it! Great crew!

This coming Friday the new Michelin Super Sports go on with the summer wheels and the oil change. Driving season is here!

That is going to be a sick day of progress when you get all of that on at once!

I can't decide between the stillen splitter and evo r front lip

hey motored my Z this am, was a great drive. had to keep it calm as i kinda had to re-familiarize myself to the car. car felt real good.

got like 5 compliments already.

after the drive i worked on my G. swapped to summer wheels set and while doing so, inspected brake lines, suspension bits, washed the last of the salt off bits using a small detailing brush and soapy water, water bottle to rinse. adjusted psi, cleaned the interior, swapped to summer floor mats, etc. was SUPER TIRED by the time i was done. completely out of car-detailing shape/routine. lol

Mr.kenchan, you had a great Z Spring-Debut this morning.

I drive my Z to work today too, it's cold, -1c to -5c, but it's sunny and dry, even the Z has summer tires, what the heck!!

LOL

Nice! My local dealer has one in the same colour. My wife really likes it, and they're starting to grow on me. We used to own a Pontiac Aztek so I should be able to get used to the look of the Juke.

I personally like the Evo R front lip better. Stillen if you're on a budget is good.

Price actually played very little in the choice of front lips for me. I personally do not like the style of any other lip but the stillen. To me the stillen looks the closest to a simple splitter rather than a lip. Thats the look that I like. Just like anything to do with style it is all about preferance.
