First month with the Z

jtwlson2 · 04-21-2017, 06:03 PM

Its officially been one month since bringing my Z home from the dealership.

First Picture I took of her:

First wash day:

Hated the tinted tails, after trying a million ways to easily remove the tint and failing... I sanded them.

Ended up leaving the outer part black, its unique and wont get me pulled over. They turned out really well, I was extremely nervous of sanding them down and respraying them but they came out nice and shiny.

Finally, I have a base model. no heated seats and no convertible means I have three dummy switches. they irritate me every time I look at them so I decided to turn that area into a small cubby.

Waiting on the super glue to dry then sand down the inside and paint it. Took me a long long time to get it to where I was satisfied but I think it will look a lot better than the dummy switches.

Other info: its a 2014 with 35k miles, came already lowered and had those ugly red badges already installed. I plasti diped them black but do not have any pictures of them.

Plans for the future:
new head unit and upgraded speakers
exhaust
small rear wing
and what I bought it for, to drive it!

This one's looking for the fake buttons if you're getting rid of them.

blank center console buttons
