In the market for a bigger house as we speak, preferably one with a three car garage on the side, that way I can build two more on to it. HOA won't let me do it here because the garages are in the front. One of my neighbors has side garages and he did it and it came out great.

I pride myself in not even having any door dings...then I pull too far into a parking space the other night.... :facepalm:

Weighing my options now on what to do..

Light wet sand with 1200 grit, IPA wipe down and touch-up paint in an air brush

You'll have to be looking for it to see it. Tape it off before you sand so you keep control of it. Same thing with the paint, feather it on the ends before you get to you tape. Air brush keeps the spot small and in control. You don't need to thin it down when using the Nissan touch up paint either. (the one in the little bottle with the stupid pen applicator)

full part out... :icon17:

I feel your pain.

At the very first day of my Z purchase, I broke up my front spoiler when I felt down going out a gas station from a brick..

I got a Gash in a similiar location. Can't even see it.... it reminds me of... wait I didn't remember doing that lol

Got me some new gauges to throw into the center triple gauge pod. Well, the Racer gauge is gonna be hidden in the cubby...

The Defi Advance A1 lineup was just released in July this year. Surprised to see no one else really has these.

Drove like an a$$ on the way to work. Too many morons on the road trying to regulate the speed limit.

got quoted $1,000 to repaint the bumper... I'm just doing it myself

wow, no employee discount?!?!? :inoutroflpuke:

I don't trust the dealership

Speaking of dealerships, I went there this morning with a short list of issues, one of which they've known about ever since I took delivery of the car back in May...

• Rear bumper paint chipping off at left fender
• Useless hand brake needing adjustment
• Right rear corner of headliner coming down
• Seat belt getting soaked

While they have it, I will probably ask them to do an oil change as well as I'm almost at 2500 miles on the clock.

They said it won't be until early October until they can get it into the body shop. I've already been waiting since May for them to call for an appointment. Now I have to wait another month?!

If you ask me, I think they should just get in a brand new rear bumper, paint it and have it ready, then I could just come in and have them simply swap them out on the spot. No more than an hour process.

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

That is pretty ridiculous. I took my car in this week to get new side skirts painted and installed. I went in last week for the quote and the guy was going to try and squeeze me in LAST week.

With the number of issues that you've mentioned, I believe I'd ask for the GM and raise serious hell about it. You have more issues in 2500 miles than I've had in 104,000.

Due to the metallic paint, it would be best to have the car there when painted to get the flake going the right direction. That, of course, depends on if they even pay attention to that.

:icon14:

:iagree:

Time to talk to either the Service Manager or the GM. Politely point out that unresolved water leakage will lead to mold, which will cause them to have to put in a complete interior. Plus, we can cause a shitstorm on their Facebook and Yelp pages with negative reviews.... :stirthepot:

I'm tempted to do a DIY while refinishing this bumper to try and help anyone else with ****** up bumpers. What do you guys think?

Sounds good to me. :tup:

Do it! :tup:

I painted my G35s bumper a few months back. Sanded it all down, primed, painted, pearl coat, and clear coat. This was all done with rattle cans. It was a LOT of work. Many hours sanding/wet sanding. I'm not sure if this work for you will be a touch-up or full bumper paint job. Much info is on Youtube.

Oh I've done this plenty times before. Doing full bumper paint job.

wang on wang ..chasis mounted wing installed.. just needs some adjustments

I knew someone would get tired of not having rear seats :icon18:

seat and table

Ordered everything to refinish my front bumper

This is all true.

In their defense, he did say that they could probably look at and or fix the other issues in a week or so, or even in a few days. It's only the body shop that's backed up with work for a month. So it's just the bumper that would be the delay.

Impressive! Where did you get the rattle cans? Will this type of work be as durable as a Pro job? My front bumper needs a repaint very badly.

Should have seen that coming....:owned:

I'm impressed, tho. Only 8 minutes to come up with that response. :tup:

2 possible answers:

1) He just knows at this point for the inevitability

2) Script to just flick someone off when gold is mentioned here now

I kinda do want to paint the mesh to match the wheels but finding that color would be hard as hell

K, i'll be nice because that post is just to easy and you've helped me out in the past. haha.

Powdercoat everything?

the powdercoat was expensive

What about the badge? Or you de badging?

debadge

Changed my cabin air filter. Glad i did.

Looks like you might have been due.
First time that I changed mine, there were some big gnarly bugs stuck in it.

Replace the typhoon with Nismo long tube.
