It will fly by quicker than you will expect don't worry! Patience is a key virtue in ones life. Until then enjoy you're multicolored theme it's unique lol

But seriously it's going to look gorgeous after the vinyl wrap job. I had a pearl white and ended up going with a satin black wrap job, but after seeing how BEAUTIFUL the satin white was I was so close to keeping it white. After about a week of bouncing both choices back and forth I decided I wanted to a completely didn't change for my exterior.

been like that ever since 2006..first time I bought parts for my 350z. Dropped like $2k on tein basic coils and invidia g200 exhaust. Both purchases made in haste without research. After that I became a bit smarter...only a bit though.

Car is prepped, primed and ready to go for the wrap!

Got my 06+ heads coming in this week(thanks to UltraBootz) and working on my gloss black grill at home. Exterior is almost done. Just need legit clear side markers, new taillights and a front and side splitter.

After that Ill most likely dive inside the car for interior updates.

Going with 3Ms new pearl white gold sparkle wrap. Recently saw a Fisker wrapped in it by the shop doing my wrap and its gorgeous

bought a 5'x2' piece of the color wrap for $25 to test it out...I ended up with 6 small swatches stuck to the car. Makes me extra eager to see the entire car in it


and it made me understand why Im paying $2k for a professional shop to do it for me. My ADD kicks in the minute I peel the backing off.

Any sample pictures of the color wrap you're going for? I've heard and seen matte white and satin white but never a pearl white gold sparkle! Sounds amazing.

not sure if this link will work but here it is on the fisker. Its pretty much a pearl white but they call it gold sparkle...so it sounds like its gonna be crazy sparkly. The gold flake effect really hits you in the face from a good 10-15ft away at the right angle but it looks like a pearl white most of the time. Figured it would work well, the wrap and wheels complimenting one another.

Is that the OG front?

yeah, its OG...I also felt the same way. I had intended to get Invens front but last minute, changed my mind. It grew on me and decided to just pull the trigger since inven and HD hood have been done to death. FIgured, I hadnt seen this combo just yet so I might as well do it

So yesterday I jumped on the interstate...hit a dip in the road at about 60mph and one of my exhaust tips fly off, bounces and go over the car behind me and roll into the median.

Luckily it didnt hit anyones car and Im not sure how since there were a good 10-12 cars right behind me.

Last week I was doing work on my car, removed the tips and the only thing I can think is that I didnt tighten all 3 bolts that hold the tips on the piping. I took the remaining tip off the car and only one was tight as well. I guess I should say Im doubly lucky since they didnt both pop off.

Anyways, now Iv got 2 new tips on the way to my house. The current ones are nearly 3 years old and pretty worn so I figure what the hell.

The tip ended up with some deep cuts and the opening is now shaped like an egg. It took a beating, could probably be repaired but Im not about to drive around with it like that.

Went with ConceptZperformance since each tip was only $75 a piece after shipping. Motordynes site wanted to charge $111a piece after shipping. Nothing like saving $70 on something I shouldnt have had to replace.
I guess my new duradal center caps will have to wait!

New interior LEDs. Doors, trunk, license plate and over head/courtesy. Made sure to wait until night to get the true brightness. So much better then those garbage dim yellow lights. Makes the car feel a bit nicer too.
