Having connection issues with the board today, anybody else?

mine seems ok

Might be my local server. Have to feed the hamsters better. :bowrofl:

I got it figured out. Was a security setting issue. :ugh2:

:tiphat:

Well guys and Gals. I'm taking off to get my car ready for tomorrow. Will check back later. I need Kenman to come and do my car for me. I know he would only need to spend a week to get it where he likes his. :tup:

Here is my progress on re-dipping the fangs. Also decided to dip the mirrors and see how I like it. Doin the passenger side first to see how it comes out.

Happy Saturday to all

I am behind by about 35 pages...man you guys sure do a lot with your Z 's in two days when there prolly only a dozen posters ......I failed on keeping up but I am of age for the OFC.

Fire...g/l with prepping of car.

Alchemy....plastic dip looking good...hamburger next?

Mr. onzedge, grats on the granddaughter.

Quick wash on the red Z here at local cybercafe then haircut then backyard stuff then wash the PG and hopefully some time to mod the fang vent. Looking to use the existing panel and mod it to make it a quick release or check out Blowes.

Have fun Fire :happydance:

Looking good. I think you'll like the mirrors dipped. :tup:

Don't work too hard Zman8! You need some energy to enjoy your day off. :happydance:

Still working. Thanks for the props guys. No hamburgers ZForce.

:tup: I run Mobil1, and have been pleased with it.

Good afternoon Z community! Had some lunch at a local cafe, heading to the beach and later to see The Raven!

Looking good Alchemy! I like the idea of the dipped mirrors! :tup:

Have a great day guys! :hello:

:hello: Happy, have a good day!!

Hey guys, I hope your Saturdays are going well. Just got back from lunch with my Z group. Also swung by the VZ store today and they are sending me a replacement Galaxy Nexus since mine keeps shutting off all the time. :tup:

Ryan, I sent you an e-mail a few minutes ago with the details for the decal quote. :tup:

Playing with photoshop now. Took a few pics at the meet.

This just in! :)

Posting from the beach!

Awaiting some of those pics Steve:tup: Let you know whats up with those stickers later today.

I hate you right now. :shakes head:

Mr. Alchang, what exactly are you doing to make your plastidip not rip when you pull the tape off? I did my fangs but even though I went slow and tried to cut it with a blade, it tore kinda ragged in places. I'll probably redo it.

Oh and I forgot to say, last night I tore my car apart and finished my system install. Pioneer HU, Zenclosure, Kicker zx400.1 amp, and an old 12" Sony xplode sub to hold me over until I decide on a new one. Might be installing some infinity reference speakers soon too :)

I think you meant me Huck!!! ALCHEMY not Alcheng, lol!!!!!! Its hard to remove it without ripping. I run a razor blade very lightly around where Im gonna peel. Its tough. I just ripped it taking it off my mirror and had to do some touch up. The key is taking your time. I have been at this for about 4-5 hrs already today.

Does it finish rough or smooth? i know it is matte-ish... i wounder if you do enough layers if you can sand it smooth if it is rough... and then put a clear over it... idk....

Sorry man, I'm half asleep right now. Good stuff, I guess I'll just have to try it again and go even slower.

Memories (I think that was your name, im on tapatalk) you can't sand plastidip, it's like a rubber coating, if you try to sand it, it will just tear up. They do have a clear coat for it though to make it a bit glossier.

Done with my detailing for the day. I have a small wallmount Shopvac that I tried for the first time. Has alot of power for it's size. Ok now for the post that will make Kensan put me on his perm. ignore list. I and waxed my car with wait for it, wait for it, Mothers California Gold Liquid wax. Sorry I don't have a 30 step Zeino system like Kensan. Car did turn out very nice. :ughdance:

Nice job Alchemy. I think with a little spray and wipe with a black detailer the mirror mount will match the plasti dip. :tup:

:tiphat:

Came out great! Still jealous of you MB guys. Black on MB is just :yum:

I personally think the black on white looks best. There is a kid down the road from me with a white 370. I dipped his fangs and rear valance last fall. Looks really good on his, better than on mine.

Yours looks good Alchemy. MB looks really good one red also IMO :driving:

In that case, care to trade? :icon17:

I'm meeting up with a friend of mine later to get a quote on painting the fangs/rear valence. I don't have the skills to do it myself.

I have a question.
I have TT and NISMO rear bumper, How do I put a tow hook? :/

You don't. Actually if you look under the car on the drivers side there is a tow loop. Your only option would be drilling and tapping or welding on a bung to the alum bumper behind the little access cover.
