check the rear fog lamp install DIY.

basically take the trunk liner out, i think it was one nut or screw u loosen and it will slide out. been 7yrs since i worked on the fog and rearview cam. :icon17:

I washed the Z and polished my headlights. All nice and shiny again.

:iagree:

Man, reading your post has me singing and whistling...

Oh, I wish I was driving' my Z in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land!!!

I had a friend help me when I was working on the car. No clue whos cat this was, but it was wicked lovey and had the floofiest tail!!!

Oh yea... and I put the front wheel spacers on or something. Idk.

Taking the Z out for the GF in a few hrs. She wants a ride in "the sexy car" and I want to double check torque specs after few hard turns with the spacers on.

Washed and clawed. .. taking a breather before doing the wax

Did you offend Leingod's fluffy cat?:icon17:

Floofy you heathen! :rofl2:

And here's more floofie hate!!!

Yup. Datz a floofy Z:tup:

Detailed whatever the hell this thing is. http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/...psrbafa04y.jpg

Turned out great :tup:

no painting of the bumper today but I spent hours sanding and prepping it. Trying to figure out how I want to paint the trim paint on

Changed my oil and filter and switched back to Summer tires :driving:

Backup and license plate LEDs installed. I only had to turn around one bulb to get it to light up. The other three I got right the first time. :) Pics later. :p

Rep freely.

Thought the factory diff bushings would jump right out/ wrong,,, had to make a little puller.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...17241f98df.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...089e8328c8.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...238aef7e85.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a83e58c3fa.jpg
Pulled the center piece out first & then used a 1" bolt, to pull inside of a 2 9/16 12pt socket....easy with some larger hardware.

i cleaned the nismo wheels and dressed the tires.. :ugh:

They don't fit....3xl+

Grainger has everything :tiphat:

what type of dressing / gloss level do you use?

I'm using armoral super ultra wet look. looks great for about a day of driving then goes dull =_=....

That's your first issue

Don't use Armorall anything :twocents:

Adam's Super VRT is one my favorites. It's not a super high gloss finish - I like more of a subtle gloss. And it takes very little product. They have some actual tire shine product though if you like that high gloss.

Well, I could have sworn I took a pic of Ms Bells's new lights, but apparently, she had other ideas... :eek:

That reminds! I need to post "new" photos. Wait.... what thread is this...
:wtf2:

Other thread... :inoutroflpuke:



BTW... I thought it was your GF's job to floof your horn? :bowrofl:

She floofed the Z 2 days ago. Give her a break!

hey it super ultra mega shiny look! lol I just picked it up from crappy tire on sale... but yea it's almost done now so I'm looking at other product potentials.

need dat super shiny wet look. :tup:

This stuff then. It'll look like a fresh glazed donut dipped in shininess and coated with extra shine straight from a pit of shine from krispy creme shiny donuts.

Just say no.
 

Uhhhh... no. This stuff is shiny as hell but it WILL sling all over your car. :twocents:
