Which One First??
 
What's up everyone!

I have a tough decision to make that I would like some input on. I am planning to have my Mine's rear spoiler and Top Secret front lip clearcoated to protect them from fading/yellowing. I also will be installing an oil cooler shortly. My question is, which one should I do first??

I am in AZ so we have lots of sun (fading of the carbon fiber) and heat (HOT OIL!!!). That said, my Z is not in the sun very much as I either work from home where it is garaged, and my office has underground parking. My only driving comes from my fun drives, and occasionally a client call here in AZ. I am not tracking the car yet, but do have 'fun' drives when I do drive.

I plan to do one of these at the end of next month and the other in Feb/March of 2011. Help me decide por favor!!

The egg!!!!

I am not going to lie, I didn't read what you said but I am sure the egg came first...

Ok now I have actually gone through it...

If you don't drive the car hard I would do the clearcoat first...

Clearcoat the oil cooler

:confused: you should just remove the bits from your car to get them clearcoated WHILE you work on your oil cooler install.

be done with it simultaneously within the same week.

Since you don't track the z you don't need an oil cooler. But you need to put clearcoat on your cf.

Better yet... PAINT the CF. It was supposed to be a lightweight, strong replacement for metal or fiberglass parts. Not a new auto fashion trend.

I'm sure they both already have a quality clearcoat finish.. Most cosmetic CF does.

You guys crack me up.

Mod - I think the rear lip has a quality clear on it, but I am not 100% about the TS front lip. It looks more like a gel coat....
