Before:

Installing BXT II

Ensolite on top of the BXT II

No pictures, but the doors are covered the same way. I actually went a little overboard on the doors and had to cut some back out so the panels would clip back on.

I know it's not the prettiest install, but it was my first time doing any type of sound deadening work. Overall the cabin/road noise is exactly where I want it. I took it for a drive on concrete roads and the "hollowness" in the back and much of the road noise was muffled vs before. Cruising at highway speeds is much better, the cabin just has muffled tire noise. It was pretty tedious cutting and sticking, but it was worth it. If I had to do it over again I would taken more time and laid it a little neater, but it's covered up anyhow so no one knows....but me

I sprayed some candle holders with red and blue Metalcast to see what the Z's emblems would look like.

I'm going for red until I wrap the car white. Then it will swap to blue emblems.

Hit 35K miles yesterday. No picture for my mileage album, though, because it was nasty weather on our way to dinner

The wife sent me to the Grocery store at about 8:30 last night. There are 2 near us. One is just down the road and the other is a bit farther away, with some very nice twisty bits in between. Guess which one I went to.

Coming out of the store, I see the Z sitting virtually alone in the parking lot, lit by the parking lot lights and I'm am stopped in my tracks by a "damn that's a fine looking car" moment.

Wash, blow dry, and put an extra thick carnauba waxing on the frontend. God I hate lovebug season!

Installed red led

dmhenderson · 05-11-2013, 11:10 PM

Be careful running those red plate LEDs on the street. Absolutely not legal.
