The only place I can actually think of is Design Shielding somewhere in ... north? Chicago. I have no idea how their service is so sniff around before you decide to get a clear bra or similar installed.
I think you can google "design shielding" and it should come up. I forgot their website address.
EDIT:
Found the site. "www.designshielding.com." ... Pretty basic website, hahaha. Seems they've done Ferraris and stuff but there's no proof that those pictures are theirs. They're in Downer's Grove, which is north Chicago suburbs... not to far from where I live, and it shouldn't be too much a bother, if you live around the Chicago area, to get to there. You can call them and what not, and if you do decide to get a clear bra installed, be sure to make a thread. Seems more and more people around Chicago are nabbing Z's.
A bad economy for the world right now? Yes.
Bad market for these cars? Yes.
Does it matter that there is a recession for selling Z's? Nope.
Can't go wrong with a subaru... things are tanks. You could probably find a clean RS around on Craigslist for like 5 grand. Not a bad deal at all on a pretty sturdy car. You can always go the WRX route too.
Nissan scotchgards their cars? I wish they had that repairable pain that the Infinitis have. :-/.
Yeah, I think I'd have to get some new rims and some Blizzaks if I consider driving in the winter. Argh, just all that salt that Daley throws on the street... and rocks and dirt in the snow. It's just asking for a #$(*'ed up lower body. Even with the Evo sitting low (especially since I'd pick up the Aero kit), it's not much different. My cousin's GSR has a lot of chips and whatnot from the winters here. Thanks for the tips, I've heard similar as well. We've got a 2008 XK that never leaves the house during the winter and I drive an 330xi (AWD, brilliant) right now with a Corolla for normal or long driving.
I was thinking of moving out to Cali, where the 370z would really shine. What a roadtrip that will be! Still not sure... Maybe I'll just end up with a Subie in the end. Or something. Haha.
Japanese cars rust in the rear a lot more than American cars, and the Nissan is no exception. Even with the whole car scotchgarded, it's still going to rust a lot faster. It won't be very significant since a lot of the car components are aluminum though.
The RWD would handle fine in a case of snow, similarly to a FWD car. It's more than capable of handling snow, although maybe not on the Sport Package tires, or even the non Sport package tires (both are summer/dry road performance tires and lack the grooving). I'm going to drive the family's luxury sedans. Another technique to use in RWD cars is to add extra weight in the back, usually bags of sand, as per a lot of people here do. Illinois winters are harsh for sure, so try to garage the Z, but if you can't, you'll want a car cover. Driving the Z in the winter shouldn't be a problem as long as you keep it washed, and even more specifically treated with a wax.
I think the EVO X will do a lot better in this climate area and still work very well as a performance car. AMPLIFIED Performance owns a shop EVO X, and it looks sick.
Yeah, for sure. My cousin who lives with me owns a blue GSR himself. It's sick, although he picked the wrong color. The AWD would definitely help during the winter months here in Illinois-- I know you know what I mean. The turbo and handling is nice, though.
What do you think about driving your 370z around during winter? I'm not sure if I'll have another car to be able to garage it, and I don't want it to turn into a chipped up snow plow with that low clearance...
Hahaha
I actually prefer the EVO IX. It's rear is less ugly. But the front of the X is pretty sick... It really depends whether or not you'd want AWD versus RWD. Whichever way you go, it sounds good.
Be careful with Mitsu cars though. They're pretty shoddy if you don't take extreme care of them or replace the bad parts (like the tranny).
