Claybar+Wax=Shiney
Thursday, July 01, 2010 6:37 PM
Figured today was a nice day to clean the car, claybar it (needed to be done), and give her a couple coats of wax.

P.S. New rims as well. And yes the center caps are missing. And yes i already ordered new ones.
































C+C welcome

The hood is only temporary. I have another hood that is ready and to be prepped for paint.

I like it. Some projector headlights, 99 toyota tail lights, big brake kit, and rear disk brake conversion would pretty much finish the look of the car.

Love the wheels. The Z wheels are pretty good but I think the ones you have now are much better.

pretty clean. loving the 00-02 z spoiler. nice upgrade there for sure.

id say front filler panel and tint.

oh and please paint the chrome surrounding edge of the clear corners black. that chrome edging stands out like a sore thumb.

Why is the paint on your quarter panel so dry? Looks to have been repaired and painted by someone far from an expert lol.


On the other hand....you have other fingers.

Because it was repaired, by a professional. The only problem we ran into was that we didnt spray in a climate controlled booth. And on the day we sprayed the conditions werent perfect and the pain orange-peeled big time. Not to worry though. It is being fixed this saturday.

No offense, but why do you have a second OEM hood? That badge will come off with a squeegee and a little WD-40... and I agree with Brad, a filler plate is a must if you can find one! The wheels look pretty good too, now you just need a drop.

I like the rims...just not on your car. those wheels were really popular like 5 years ago and they were everywhere...lots of Jettas with em'
either way the car looks good!

Wheels look goofy and awkward.

If it wasn't done in a proper booth, and it came out with clearcoat as dry as pictured, it wasn't done by a pro. Sorry but I will argue you to death on body work, dude.

Not everyone is into the "I can't see anything at night out my back window" look. And don't give me the BS(that's what it is, BS), that you can back up and see fine with 5%. You are blowing smoke out your ass saying that ;P

I will go ahead and x2 that one with the 5% tint on the back windows.... Night time is rough but most places have street lamps and parking lots are usually fine. but if you travel off the beaten path it will be hard to see well.

Okay, thanks for a the C+C guys. To answer some questions, it already is dropped. The reason the paint is appearing the way it is is because there is no clear. Me and the body guy are gonna take care of it this saturday. The whole hood thing, I have two cavis. This is my daily and i have a 2000 Z that is my eco swap project. Well this car needed a half decent hood while the other one is getting painted. So i just took the hood off the 00 Z, and since its under a cover, for the time being its fine. And im very tempted to buy the bumper filler azncav. PM me for the details.

god, does anybody really care what you say? i know i sure dont.

at what point did i say so dark you cant see? and for the record i agree, my 5% is hard as hell to see out of. but... in this case, form>function. dark tint looks great on any car. weather its 20% or 5%.
