I'll probably wire it to the brake lights or tag tights just being lazy to do it. For now its only for aesthetic.

i wired a oem looking rocker in my center console (where the 3 blanks were on my base 09).

Gave the Z a thorough interior cleaning including vacuuming, using Chemical Guys Natural Finish detailer on the dash and plastic panels, and taking a microfiber rag soaked in Microfiber wash all over the carpeted areas

This was my most extensive cleaning of the interior for at least 6 months!

Even got underneath the backend and cleaned some water spots off my exhaust for good measure

After a long weekend up on jack stands, I finally made my car drivable and put it back on the ground. Plus a long test drive, of sorts.

I've only had it a week now, so today I got some window tint and installed new door speakers, along with amp. Tomorrow, I'll be installing a Berk CBE.

got my TPMS resync'd at the dealership today. awesome experience for one. service advisor called a tech to the parking lot and he came by with the consult 3, waved it at each wheel, plugged it into the ODB port, started the car and off i was in 5 minutes. no charge

Glad for you. It wouldn't be that easy at my Stealership, haha.

I have a tool that will reset TPMS. No silly fees for me at the stealership...

i do too. it's called e-tape.

I've got the Snap-on tool, I'm not sure what is it's model number. It plugs into the OBD port and you reprogram them from there.

I took the steering wheel off of my car and found that I get to replace yet another $200 part. Of all things, they decided to use weak little flex cables with no protection to prevent them from tearing.

Drove it for the last time. Now sold and Z-less. It was a good trip while it lasted.

Went in a completely different direction and bought a 2014 Jeep Rubicon. Getting ready to move to the country and the Z really wasn't going to work out where we're moving.

Was thinking about a Ford Raptor, but dealers are asking ridiculous prices on those right now.
