Just ordered a couple K&N drop in filters($99). I have been trying to decide whether I wanted to spend more money on a full cai but decided it wasn't worth it for me at the moment. I'll be dropping probably ~1100-1200 on a set of PSS tires in a few months anyways.

Then I washed each window carefully and then cleaned the inside, vacuuming the carpets and seats and cleaning the dash..

Altogether it took me about four hours.

When it was done my wife asked me to do her Honda. I got a bucket of soap and water, washed it with a sponge and sprayed it off..
Ten minutes later it was done...

Yeah, that sounds about right. You didn't miss going over the A/C vents with a q-tip on your ride did you? /sarc

Dedication lol. Did you wax? Or is finish referring to waxing?

Last night I took my Z for a spin around some country roads, had quite a fun back n forth with a Subaru STI & a Porsche Boxster which was pretty cool. Not often I get to do that with the roads the way they are around here. Anyways parked it up down the road last night (i've got a skip up the drive at the moment :( ) and when i came down this morning some bastard had keyed it from bonnet to boot (or hood to trunk) devastated!! got a picture or two on my phone but dunno how to upload them here.
