yah, i will see how well the RE11's grip in the colder days and decide wat
to do on the tires.

DW gripped fairly well even down to 35F... so those are like my colder weather
tires in the Spring/Fall. i dont drive my Z in the snow.

My Z needs nothing... Except PDR for those two dings on the roof.

That will likely happen in the spring, post "tornado and hail" season.

Ah who am I kidding, tornado and hail season is the whole ******* year in Indiana.

Davey, I had a PDR tech remove a basket ding from my door..i.e a small
dent - crease 2 x 3 inchs... After PDR can not spot anything. Cost was
250.00 but money well spent.GL..

Yeah seems like every year there's at least a couple of days in the spring where they say it's going to be a beautiful sunny day and then 3 hours later... "A severe storm is headed for the area, bringing large hail, damaging winds, and tornado warnings..."

I haven't decided if I want to match the wheels/spoiler/etc. (gunmetal) or the body (mag black).

dang... this year ive been forced NOT to drive my G to work
due to the craters in the parking lot, but im kinda happy because we too
have been getting weather where it's sunny in the am, but t-storms by pm.

takes me a while to clean up my G to my liking.


i would match the wheels. cause then it will be accents like your side turn
signal housing. that appears more gunmetal/dark silver than black or silver.

Pearl White paint is a hard one to fix...Body shop wanted 1200.00
to remove the small egg size dent and only paint the lower half of the
door up to the seam line..
