Morning guys. Had a very long night and now debating whether or not to actually go in to work. Here are some pics from last night, but I really want to see how it looks in the sun.

Turns out there is a rather large ding where the paint went down and it now shows like a sore thumb. He offered to fix it but since I might be upgrading to a kit at some point, I said fvck it. You can only notice it from just the right angles. Also, the spot under the fog light was missed and I wasn't able to get a pic of it after it was corrected. I'm happy with it for now.

hi mr.gale! i decided not to get the 2595LTM yesterday cause it does not support ecoRoute (OBD2 monitoring)... so i ran my 1490LTM today in the Z. it paired up with my droid4 nicely for phone. for my G, i think im going to get the motorola roadster2.

mr.happy- good to hear you're finally done with the ordeal yet again. you're like a regular now with the wheel repair guy. hahaha

hey pint- that looks good!

the drive in the Z this am was fantastic. i got cut off by some ricor-fart-racing-car-looking-pos-miata-im-going-to-racing-juu-big-ego-but-still-an-idiot, but didnt bother me. i would not want to be driving that noisy thing on weekends. lol

Mr.kenchan, looks like the Roadster2 is the way to go, speaking of In-Car speakerphone, you may also consider the Blueant S4, I personally don't use speaker phone because I am driving a roadster, but I use a bluetooth headset, and so far I am on my 4th Blueant and they are so far so good, the noise cancellation performance is excellent and I would suggest you look into that too.

Just checking in. Taking a Break from correcting the Z. I was hoping I could get away with a one step but my PO106FA just isn't enough to meet my standards. Looks like a two step will work. Did a test spot with D300 on a MF cutting pad, followed up with the PO106FA on an Über green pad, this is the combo.

Have a great day guys, I'll be in the garage if you need me.
