Gave the Z it's first deep cleaning in a while, Clay bar was picking up all kinds of nasty stuff from the hood, was coming up poop brown everytime i finished with a section, finished off by giving her a nice couple of coats of Carnauba. Also gave me an excuse to use the new chemical guys extreme body wash + wax that i picked up

So what do you guys think?

I applied boss-azz lady bug graphics to my windscreen today... I purchased the matching bumper and hood kit to finish off the look. If anyone is interested in doing the same, the kit is called "Springtime Backroads Florida". And as always, I ain't braggin' or nuthin.

Looks like an easy & cheap mod that EW would love. You should suggest it to him!

Nismo also has a 12mm option for the GT500 knob. Don’t know if this would be a viable option for those with the Cooler Worx shifters.

Titanium option

Soft Urethane option

Default z1 2 piece rotors install! WOW! LOVE IT!!!

I was blessed with some sunshine and bottomless iced tea today. I installed my 2 piece rotors and my z speed undershroud. The 2 piece rotors are by z1 (excellent quality). the undershroud was a breeze to install. Although, it is a bit heavier than the plastic undershroud I feel it is worth the upgrade!. All the best to everyone. Now, I have a need for Z! I want to drive in the canyons tonight! Got restless...I’ll try tomorrow!

I installed a new steering wheel the other day. Damn those super loctited security bolts though!

Looks good!

Suggested next project: blend mount and hardwire for your radar detector

That is the fattest shift knob I have ever seen. Even EW couldn't fit that up his azz.

After months of looking at a sagging left front air deflector, I finally fixed it. Turns out that the insert was so rusty, I had to run a tap through it. The next challenge was finding a replacement bolt, M6 x 1.00 x ~15mm. I found the part number and found it online for $.61 but $5.00 shipping.... Oh well. Moved the center bolt to the end to hold it up and left the center one out. I'll go by the stealership at some point and get a bolt for the center.

I haven't done crap with the Z in a while. I'm still undecided on the MD Thunder Pipe, but I'm starting to lean towards getting new bumpers and side skirts.
