Past few months I've been driving around my damaged 370z with a scrap rear bumper and a huge dent in my front bumper near the corner of the fangs. Last Thursday I finally brought it into a shop, a really ghetto one, but i have done business with him before on my IS300, so I trusted him. I finally got it back this evening, and he did amazing job. Fixed my dent, repainted my blacked out fangs, and repainted my whole rear bumper. I wish I did a before and after cause he did an amazing job.

I can't believe you didn't take the requisite five minutes to snap some pictures!
Oh well, glad your ride is looking great again! Let's see some pics of it now!

Hey Kenman. The dealer said it could be up to 10 weeks. They only started making them 1/26/2012. If it isn't in by ZdayZ I'll be driving the Z there. If it does come in I will still be at ZDayZ with the ZL1. I'm already looking at pulleys and tune to make 630hp vs 580hp stock. The car I ordered is red with black stripe kit, black rims, suade steering wheel and shifter, sunroofand 6mt.

agreed, that is good practice. especially since davenue mentioned the front was lowered by 1/4" or something. Quote:

hey happy, that bubble can be sanded/filed off and polished...but yah, that's not acceptable in my book. i would take it back or fix it. not sure wat glue they used but hope it's removable...otherwise it will be a biotch to file that off in that small gap without scratching. |

I put a box, filled with slot car stuff, in the trunk that would not allow closure. With about 3-4 inches exposed I drove off. I noticed a slight exhaust smell so I rolled down the windows. Bad idea, it brought in more exhaust than before. Driving slowly helped with smell. Driving faster with windows down was more fun.
This reminded me of my 280Z going down a hill on the freeway. Ah memories.

Tape my friend. I'm thinking a heat gun and monofilament.

Good Morning Mr.kenchan, too bad the OP send me a PM this morning saying the set is gone. Not surprised since it's such a good deal!
Going to the tire shop tomorrow to put down deposit for the Vossen and a set of DW. Quote:

I am going to put OEM size for the 19, 245/40/19 Front and 275/35/19 Rear. Rim size should be 19X8.5 offset+20 front and 19X10 offset+25 for rear. The shop told me I shouldn't need spacer, looking forward to it! Quote:
So do you have Tuesday-sickness instead of Monday??? |
