Yea it will work for 09. Can't imagine there's a difference with the monty blue paints for the different years.
As for what I did with it today - thinking of driving her outside in the rain. It's been 8 days since I driven the Z on account of the rainy weather the mid-atlantic has been having but I can't take it anymore. Going through withdrawal.

although, in that 3rd pic of your front bumper, do you have scratches in your front bumper, towards bottom?

Flatstoppers, if you have a set, is very convenient. it's nice to know that the tires are off the cold concrete during the winter too. it's a 'place the car on them and forget about it' deal. i dont start the car at all once in hibernation cause it will introduce steam inside the midpipes, oil temps dont get that high, premature cycling of the a/c, etc. i use to start the car and move it around in my garage, etc long time ago but it's too much hassle and introduce more bad than good. as for stabil. i dont use it. my hibernation isn't really that long. 3months average, 3.5months max. i suppose if you must park the car for a long time like over 6months i would consider using it. |

It's supposed to rain today, so the Z is sleeping. But I'm contemplating Sway Bars. Is that something I should have done before I changed my exhaust? I know it has to be unhook to install the sways. Oh well, too late now.
I'm contemplating just getting stillen sways since this is a street car and not a track car(if someone wants to talk me into hotchskis or eibachs I'd love to hear you out). Also, should I invest in the adjustable rear endlinks? I see people blowing out the stock ones. |

Z-wise today, don't hate me but, I have a dealer appointment for my Odyssey, which happens to be next to the Audi dealer. They have a 3.2 Quattro A5 there that's in mint condition, in Black again... 6 speed manual. The though of being able to bring my wife and kids at the same time has tickled me. So, I'm just test driving it for $h!ts and giggles.... we'll see. Don't hate me
