Installed the stillen license plate relocator. Looks pretty nice IMO. The dealership had drilled holes into the black part of the bumper to mount the plate bracket. I wanted to cover up the holes so I bought some vinyl hole plugs for (3.99) at an auto parts store. images attached!

Vinyl hole plugs look like this http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...yL._SY450_.jpg

Looks good and that's a great way to cover the existing holes. Well done!

Parked [the Z] in the company parking lot and picked up this guy :D

BuddyLee 09-02-2015 10:38 AM

Drove to Easley to grab dinner after working 3rd shift, came home to find this waiting for me on the porch. Ordered Monday morning, received Tuesday morning. Fedex Ground. This will be a productive and rewarding 6 day weekend. :happydance:

Wash, rinse, and dry - check
Clay bar - check
Wash, rinse, and dry again - check
Wax and buff - check
Shiny MB Z - check

HulaGirl 09-02-2015 06:39 PM

Prepared the Z for Xpel installation tomorrow. I handwashed the car right before the sun went completely down and fixed a couple of very small chips with touch-up paint.

DeliriousClam 09-02-2015 08:54 PM

I finally got the tuning of my amp dialed in. And as soon as I did that, the wire disconnected at the fusebox. Gonna have fun fixing that tomorrow since there's almost no slack in the engine bay.

Last day of vacation and wanted to make the most of it while I was home alone. Actually, I really enjoyed the process.

I am vacationing at home next week. No airplanes. No hotels. No rental cars. Just domestic bliss.

Rep with honor.

DeliriousClam 09-02-2015 09:31 PM

Oh yeah. Also starting to plan for and price out a complete nitrous system. *Flame retardant suit on*

Can you PM me the url to this on Amazon? My current work around has been to just put things under the carpet so they don't slide everywhere

Waiting for the Installer to finish up Xpel covering. Sorry I didn't do it sooner.

that sucks... was it the clutch itself or the notorious csc?

ourdelusions 09-03-2015 11:43 AM

The csc is going bad, but my clutch itself is toast, I get little to no acceleration out of the car (amateur guess: clutch)

I'm about 3 months in to ownership. Poor bumper has taken a beating the last couple of weeks! Just relieved it's off my list of "to do".

Lol, has the steering column been changed out? I highly suggest you upgrade your CSC before it goes bad too

You are correct about the 3 months. First owner had the car 2 months.
Thanks for clarifying. :-)
I'm under warranty so if it happens, it happens. (Hoping it doesn't though.)

Bell automotive 22-1-33653-8 cargo net

45x24"
I tied a knot in front and back (can see in center of back strap) and ran the loop around / thru the center of the cross bar to anchor it there
It came with 4 stick on / screw on connectors I put about an inch outside the bar and the other 2 on the rear sides
Then I noticed the built in hooks on the hatch for the tonnaue sp? Cover and used those so it lifts up with hatch
Can't really notice from seat and at $10.40 the price was right (I'm pretty cheap...)
