Up early... need to go to the body shop for them to check out my damage and figure out when I can drop it off to fix up the windshield and chip to the roof.

Also priced out some parts... hopefully will get them done this month sometime to get some enjoyment out of them! (will keep it a secret so I can boost my epeen later!)

Second attempt at getting my inspection renewed today. It's not due until January but I'd like to buy myself a year after I install some stuff.

Default Quick clean up with waterless wash

First time using this stuff... Works really well, just have lots of MF towels available... We had some rain last week, car was covered in light rain spotting from dust, etc... Cleaned right up, brilliant shine! Another nice Chemical Guys product! Zero drought related guilt.

Failed inspection for tinted tail lights. Funny how I've passed it elsewhere the last two years with them.

Well, after that positive and productive day, today I curbed my front driver side wheel.

Anyone with a 2013/14 know if it's easy to color match the OEM 19" Sport wheel? I know the 350Z 18" sport Rays were a multi-stage and multi-color paint process and was nearly impossible to duplicate.

The same garage that does most of my mods does my inspections. I try not to change it up, most of my cars in the past wouldn't pass a straight up inspection from a regular garage.

In other news, since I'll be driving my Z this winter... I've decided to dip my car. Just ordered a datona yellow plastidip kit with some glosifier from dipyourcar.com. Hopefully it holds up alright. Roads get really bad up here and I couldn't bare the thought of rock chips and all the rock salt getting on my paint. Should have it finished by next week, I'll drop some pics when it's done.

Your in Austin, take a drive to the south side in S.A. I am sure you can find a reputable inspection station.

Blacked out tail lights....no problem.....blacked out windows.....no problem....racing slicks....no problem...missing portrait of Thomas Jefferson in insurance papers....problem.


Hoping for a little rain to deter me from washing my baby today.

I'll be there Tuesday at JMS. Hopefully I'll have time to get it done. I didn't know that SA did not require emissions testing.....

Could be that since they are combining inspection and registration next year in Texas (I think starting in March-April) to one sticker, and you are going to have to take paper from inspection site to DMV to renew registration, the shops are going to get a bit tougher on inspections since it will be very easy to determine where inspection was done in the event of an equipment issue accident. Then again, could just be you got the wrong inspector on luck of the draw...
