Today was the first time I got pulled over in my Z. While getting onto Hwy 100 here in Cedar Rapids, got on it a bit. Got pulled over by from what I believe to be a detective. He had on a coat and tie and was wearing his badge on his belt. Asked for my license, checked me out, and because I had a clean record just gave me a warning. Told me to try and not squeal the tires too much. He did compliment me and said the car looked really nice. Did mention that it would be hard not to get on it once in awhile with my car. I thanked him and went on my way.

after watching tongman's vid and DIY for the plasti-dip black emblems i think i want to do this too on my Z. would match my silver/CF/black theme well. the only thing chrome right now are the emblems and it doesn't match anything.

The Plasti Dip is great. It has a textured look though. Im not sure how you would feel about the emblems being textured. I personally prob wouldnt mind it. It looks great on my fangs, has a real factory look to it. I say paint em Ken, worst comes to worst you can just peel the Plasti Dip off

The claims adjuster is evaluating my car monday. Im prob gonna stop by a shop tomorrow for a quick estimate. Going on vacation week after next and taking my z so she prob wont be fixed till the begining of sept. Damage is very slight but those little imperfections are killing me. Im really amazed how well it took the impact.

So today we went to a big local meet... met up with 3 Z's, along with other buddies. There were quite a few cars there. Good turnout. Also found a good pic opportunity, and able to show you guys my new tint.

next morning i went to the PDR place and within 15 min the guy pushed out the ding and told me i shouldn't have touched the ding cause it distorted the metal and made it that much harder to fix. that's when i decided to take PDR training and buy about $1.5K worth of tools. with the amount of dings i fixed the tools and training paid itself off very quickly. even a ding would keep me up at night on my fun car... can't imaging wat a deer scuff would do. hahahaha. G2Z- nice shot!! i think you're back in business. hahaha. |

thanks Ken! Not sure if I should invest into PDR and training yet. I would love to! But I think the wife thinks I have enough "hobbies" already
thanks for props on photo. Did you see the C6 photo in the DSLR thread? That might be my fave not-my-own shot.... hehe Today, no Z action... rain today. Been nice all week I guess it's time for some rain...

Yep, rain here too. No roadster action for me. I did drive the Z32TT though. I need to get a POS daily driver. Actually, my son leaves for school in two weeks and can't take his Civic. I may be driving it on days like today. Best it doesn't sit anyway.
Tint looks great g2z!

Yes, a POS is a must... even $1000 beater is just fine. Never washed, just change oil. I had that once...a 1993 Ford Ranger rust bucket. Started EVERYtime. Twas awesome.

Got home Last night from taking a trip to Mammoth Mtn. Finally got pulled over by CHP on the way up. I was ONLY doing 80 in a 65. And i talked him into only giving me a tint ticket...it was my lucky day. Good trip...I recommend stopping by the Mammoth Brewing Co. Fishing sucked while I was there though

^ nice pics and nice backdrop man... I am envious. All we have here are corn fields, and a few hills.
