So my Z has been put away for less than two weeks and I can't stop thinking about what I want to do to it before next spring.
I already have plans for a new clutch and tires but a small incident has caused me to look at a few exterior mods and each one led to another thought.
The day after the dyno event, as I was washing my car, I noticed that the tail pipes were not center. As I went to move the muffler back I also noticed that the bumper was melted. Apparently when they strapped it down they must have pushed the tip into the bumper. I singed a form that released them from responsibility so I have to fix it myself. It's not real noticeable and I can fix it cheap.
So that's where I start to get carried away. Here is what I'm thinking.
I am going fix the melted part and paint the rear diffuser area satin black. I've seen this before on other members cars and I like the look.
But if I paint the rear then I have to paint the front fangs too. Again, seen it before and it looks good.
I've also been thinking about removing the slats in the grill opening. Not sure about this one yet as my intercooler would be more noticeable. I still have to decide to either put mesh in there or powder coat the intercooler.
Then the thought of adding a front lip comes in. I like the Ing's + the best but it's damn pricey for a lip. That and I'm sure that adding a lip will lead to changing the side skirts as well. Not sure if I want to spend that much more on the exterior. I'd rather spend it on performance mods.
The last thing I am thinking about is painting the roof gloss black. I have looked into vinyl wrap but I have no plans to sell the car so I don't care of its reversible. There is also a small blemish in the clear coat on the roof and paint would fix that.
I still have at least 12 weeks to think and save.
