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

Kzonts · 08-06-2016, 03:29 PM

Applied some clear helicopter tape on the underside of my front spoiler. I had an incident last week coming out of a gas station and slightly scraped the underside. It was just enough of an incline to touch the road. I was already committed and couldn't reverse due to other cars behind me. I could kick myself :-(

I touched it up with some Doctor color chip paint then applied the tape. This might help reduce the damage if a next time happens.

Kzonts was it the front under chin aero thingie? Or the actual front fascia?

Sucks tho I have some places I go to and constantly scrape that front. As long as it's not paint I am usually okay.

Problem I have is my driveway incline and a hill on the road causes scraping issues depending on who is parked on the street. Oh and the storm drain I also have to maneuver around to not get a fast dip lol

Such is life.

Or you know you could part out and get a new varis/nismo/amuse front kit

Kzonts · 08-06-2016, 07:02 PM

It's on the underside where the RED dot is on the pic. You can't see it unless you look under. So I applied some tape all along the underside. Maybe it will reduce the damage if and when I become stupid again.

I just got this installed a few months ago and it wasn't cheap. And my car is not lowered, otherwise it would have been much worse.

Love these tips. I chuckle when I see them though. I was in a car corral at a Grand Am race a few years ago where someone had tips like this on a GTR. A couple of the guys thought they were messed up because they were "burnt". I had to explain that they were supposed to look like that.

Nice work, Ghost

Damn is your engine bay dirty though
