What did you do with your Z today II

gurneyeagle · 03-12-2012, 07:28 AM

Good Morning All!

With my son in for Spring Break so I'm driving his Tacoma and the Z is safely parked in the garage.

Still deciding what to do about the paint damage on the bumper from my run in with a curb this weekend. While the "spider-webbing" is definitely noticeable, what it's going to take to fix it is going to be a pain since I've got a clear bra on it.

I'm going to call my insurance agent today and see what exactly my policy covers. I would estimate the damage to be at least $1,500 to $2,000 when you factor in the diffuser, paint repair, and removal/reapplication of the clear bra.

Sigh.

Its pretty cool about 10 minutes into it when the Miller Lite NASCAR blows by me, then blows his engine in turn 10A and spews oil all over my car.

Good morning everyone!

Time change totally screwed me up and I couldn't sleep last night, blah

Curious if anyone who has had their rims powdercoated. I don't have any other set of rims, how would I go about getting them powdercoated?... Leave my car on a lift or jacks or something?

I've awoken an hour earlier than normal the last two days also, wierd.

As for the rims, yes, you will have to leave the car on jackstands while they are being coated unless your coater happens to have a spare set of rims and tires. I've lent mine out a couple times for local people.

This weekend looks good for getting the Z out of the garage and doing some

Rain today and tomorrow to get rid of the salt and highs in the 50's and 60's. Weekend looks clear of rain soo far.

Tell that guy on the skateboard to get away from your car before he goes flying and it smacks into your car!

I would NOT have been happy with someone doing kickflips near my Z.

It made for a cool pic, but still....

PS. Yer car's looking sick!

Very unique usage of the aero bits!
