The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) IX

i need to wait 2 more days before i can make a claim to the store about my lens kit that hasn't arrived.

im sure the store has insurance with usps so they can either refund me or ship me another kit. this point and shoot = nothing but problems. even though i like the camera.

Put my deposit down for gunmetal forgestars and new lugs.

Let's see if the vendor comes through.

so i dont understand nissan's naming convention...

in j-land the nissan skyline will now be called infiniti skyline (Q50).

in the us, the infiniti Q50 was suppose to replace the G37. but it appears G37 sedans will continue to 2015 unchanged. anyway, the G37C is now called Q60...even though it is the same shape as the G37C.

why call the G37C a Q60 while the G37 sedan is going to continue to 2015 unchanged?

i dont get it.

New conundrum: matte gunmetal or gloss gunmetal?

kenchan · 12-17-2013, 04:23 PM

that's a tough call.

my weds came matte gunmetal, but i decided to like them a tad more glossy than matte, so it's like a semi-gloss/satin finish per my polishing/sealant technique.

kenchan · 12-17-2013, 04:24 PM

not sure if you can tell from this pict... it's not matte any more.

fox news says santa's only come in white. so your santa is faux.

one of the reasons why i did the semi-gloss is because the reflection highlights the wheel making the wheel appear bigger to offset the smaller apperance of darker wheels.

wheels appear smaller when darker color... and having no reflection/highlights makes them look even smaller.
