These are very useful. The only downside is they get plugged up by aluminum. I cut the holes out for the intakes literally 2 minutes.

$200 for a clearbra, or $200 to remove?

If it was $200 for install, no wonder you could see it. Quality ones you won't see until 2-3' from the surface. EDIT:And generally cost between $1200-$1800

yep. the xpel ultimate 8mil is wat i used on the bumper, front of hood, front of fenders, and a-pillars. the bumper and a-pillars are fine as it is one big piece. the front of hood and fenders were :ugh: i paid $200 for those pieces, installed them the other week, and just removed them. the line is too visible.

No major problems yet :tup: I definitely need to change the fluid though (I last did it ~15K). Trying to find a place in town that carries the Motul RBF600. I think the remaining ATE Super Blue I borrowed from my buddy for the brakes is already claimed.

*knock on wood* Nope.

I think my original complaint was just me getting used to the clutch without a spring. Though I'm definitely ready for an RJM pedal assembly. Wife says it can be my Christmas present. Some newish tires and the TWM short shifter have my mod bug satisfied for the time being. Plus, football season is about to start (we just got our tickets :excited), so I'll have something else to obsess about :icon17:

I looked at it.

Then drove the wife's car to work.

Had the day off yesterday and took my camera and the Z out for a spin in the nearby wetlands wildlife preserve. Had to keep the Z under 15mph though because the roads in the preserve are gravel and I didn't want to ding up baby. Got a couple of cools shots of blue herons and egrets. Will post in DSLR thread.

removed the old vhb off the fujimura diffuser. my thumb and pointing finger kinda hurts now. lol

bugs splattered on windshield, need wash tomorrow :ugh2:
