I was approachinga non linear 4 way intersection this morning with the right of way, when the car with the stop sign started rolling then moving into my lane as if to enter or cross, I am not certain as I started to go left, then more left into the other lane then all the way up to the shoulder of the opposite lane in order to not be side swiped. Clearly nobody was coming the opposite direction so this was the safest route.

Cool as can be. I want a 1/32 slot car of the 370Z.

Changed the fuel pump, primed the Scavenge pump, filled the oil, tied up some oil lines, installed the breathers.

WARNING: Some pics taken with iPhone5. Blurred and out of focus images ahead!
After watching Matlock and Murder She Wrote (I'm getting old now-I'm told those are shows old people are supposed to watch), I took a nap, picked up the C300 from Discount Tire, came home and made use of the remaining daylight to wrap the mirrors in 3M 1080 carbon textured vinyl (matte black on a Mag.Black '11 base):

Looks great, and I do have to thank you. I too have been tossing around Cf on my black roadster but I haven't seen any good picture of CF on black. I though it would just blend in and you wouldn't notice it much but yours looks great...

Make certain you also have a heat gun, or a hair dryer. I may hake a DIY video for installing/wrapping vinyl, but there's a lot available for other cars. The fangs, b-pillars, and rear around the fog are the next and last part I will probably do. Easiest method for mirrors, cut out 2 - 14"x10" sections. Peel back only half the wax/paper backing and line line up to the center of the mirror and tack the center. Use the heat and start pulling to the outside and laying as you go. (don't worry, the 3M 1080 is VERY malleable once warmed up) Do 1-2" to the side, then 1-2" top and bottom, then back to the side. Don't allow the vinyl to cool too much. Pull the rest of the backing off and repeat for the opposite side. Use 3M primer if you plan to keep them on long term (I'd think over 1-2 years). The reason I suggest keeping the vinyl backing on - helps from that section of vinyl becoming warm. Once this stuff gets too warm, it starts to become hard once cooled. It might help to have a friend use the hairdryer/heatgun. Good luck!
