Aight thanks for the tip! I might try this when I get my car back from the shop since my bumper got messed up on sunday which was my birthday... Made my birthday turn into hell.. Can you post exactly what you bought like the name of the clear and the brand of the spray can?

Dupicolor Engine Enamel... You'll only need one can of whatever color you want and one can of clear. The color and clear are both the same brand and name, Duplicolor.

to the quick response! Really appreciate you taking the time to answer all my question's!

Headlights painted tomorrow... Or today technically

I attempted to install my new AeroJacket spoiler but cannot get the stock spoiler off. I am going to see if the body shop can do it Monday when they paint my door handles black.

Today at the Z West Coast Nationals...

Took first place in my class!

And I got my car signed by Randy Rodriguez, the designer of the 370Z.

Nice build! Any closer shots of your headlights?

speedfreek · 04-29-2013, 10:59 AM

Coming together nicely. Can't make my mind up on these or some F14's.

TaylorRyan370 · 04-29-2013, 11:46 AM

Thanks.

I'll take some closer photos of my headlights and post them later this week. I just dropped off my to get my door handles painted and my spoiler installed.

SR370z · 05-01-2013, 06:58 PM

How long did you have to wait to drive when you painted your engine cover?

TaylorRyan370 · 05-01-2013, 07:02 PM

I let it dry for a few hours in the sun. Then I installed it and drove my car. Just make sure it's completely dry. To be safe, overnight.

TaylorRyan370 · 05-01-2013, 10:49 PM

Spoiler installed and door handles painted!

speedfreek · 05-02-2013, 09:26 AM

Any plans to black out the tails darker since you are near murdered out?

I need that spoiler too!

TaylorRyan370 · 05-02-2013, 11:01 AM

They are pretty dark as is now. The lights are on and I think it's the camera that made them look brighter.
