Hauled this thing around today. Didn't think it would fit initially.

On this I did, putting coilovers on and figured why I was down there put the Nismo cover on and it just kinda snowballed from there. Suspension wise, the cars are extremely easy to work on. After I get this buttoned up, going to give it a go with painting the calipers in a candy tangerine over a gold base and replacing the brake lines - then I'm done.

Plastidipped. My MB is now partially CY. can't tell from the pics really but this place I went to did a real crap job. They also mudded up my passenger side Z turn signal which they said they'll replace. Although I'm pretty upset about the workmanship I have to admit in pictures it looks nice. We'll see how it holds up over the next few months.

New addition to upgrade list: Truck Air Horn

Sadly, my Z is in the garage. I'll take it out when I get home though.

Mothers Billet Metal Polish cleans and shines billet, forged, and finely cast aluminum, brass and all polishable metals. Professional detailers,



By far the best and easiest polish I have ever used. very gentle to the metal, requires very minimal pressure to work. wipes off easy and leaves no streaks or haze

Nicely done

I cleaned ours with a 2-step polish after the first 20K miles of DD use by my wife. They came out looking like new with a little bit of elbow grease
