What did you do with your Z today V (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

Nailzs · 05-04-2013, 01:09 PM

Drove to Lakeland to Alarms Etc and had the windshield fitted with 70% 3m crystalline tint. I go back May 25th to finish the rest of the car with 40% 3m crystalline. The drive home I had about 30 lovebugs stuck to the front of my Z, so, wash the car and re-wax the front end, mirrors, and window posts with Klasse All-In-One and topped that with P21S carnauba wax.

Got her back from getting the headliner replaced. All I can say is it was full of fail! First, the new headliner is miss shaped, so the pillar trim pieces do not sit flush and have gaps. Second, there are scratches on all of the plastic trim pieces that were removed. And third, the top seatbelt feed arms were put back on wrong, so they would adjust towards the back and not the front! WTH!!!!
Anyways, I was not a happy camper, so new headliner on order, all new interior trim pieces on order, and seatbelt arm were put back on correctly.
Basically, there will be all new interior pieces put on, from bottom of window up, and all on a car with only 3k!

Woah!

Dealer did that $hit?

Did they try to give it to you as though everything was fine, and if so, did they acknowledge it when you said something or try to argue?

ShutokuZ · 05-04-2013, 02:06 PM

The service manager is the only one I will deal with. He is pretty cool.
He made sure I looked over everything before I left (as I always do), to make sure everything was good. Found those problems, showed to him, and he was all about getting it fixed. He scolded his techs for the scratches while I was there. If they weren't so cool about it (as they should be anyways), then it would have been a worse scene!

Glad you didn't have to verbally rape someone

nepali · 05-04-2013, 02:17 PM

Plasti-dipped the rear diffuser and front fangs. Not a bad job for my first time. I will probably redo it again in a few weeks.

Thank you for the kind words, I concur, the Audi is just an spectacular car, love everything about it, nothing like German engineering.

for the first time in 4yrs, my wife came along and sat shotgun while i tossed the car around.

she said she luved my car.

comfy, sporty, nice sound, great looking driver, etc. ... ok, i just make up the last comment...

LMBmikeZ · 05-04-2013, 04:57 PM

washed the car yesterday after work

Motored the Z to work today

Drive home got lots of bugs on windshield and bumper

b15 · 05-04-2013, 05:12 PM

Put quite a few miles on the Z the last two days. She's filthy but damn I can't stop smiling when I drive it.

Ordered some sound deadening last week. Will be doing the hatch and doors next Saturday.

Got my new F.I. exhaust installed today

3.7 ZPA · 05-04-2013, 08:22 PM

Did this. The paint and clear coat did not come out how I intended. I put it on anyway, and will figure out what to do from here. I still like it, though:
