saw Andrew's ride in person last week and picture do not do it justice. It is absolutely stunning! The freshly details USB is a great color. I've never seen one in person.

As a side note I'm normally pretty **** about keeping mine nice and clean but it was looking rough... don't hold it against me. Haha.

i probably spent 8k on from the top of my head on cleaning stuff. i've tried all of the stuff i buy, i usually give away the stuff i dont like. one thing about cleaning products, you have to find something that is easy to use and good results. a lot of stuff are mediocre. i like to find hidden gem. one example that comes to mind is duragloss aquawax. maybe fave go to spray for that glossy look.

yeah, its a very good match. the engine bay needed some contrast. im not the one to just match every color on the car , i do like contrast but from what i visioned, USB was teh only color i thought would look good.

I noticed you live in Iowa(I live in Des Moines). Do you have a separate winter ride?

I'm thinking of also buying an IS-F. I currently have a 2008 G35X but also had a 350z. Mine was a 2003 that I bought new. I've also had a Mazdaspeed3, VW GTI, etc.

i have a license in Iowa as well, i use iowa tags because of cheaper tax, no inspection so i wont have issues with dark tint and catless exhaust systems.

i wouldn't buy a nice car like the ISF and still be living in iowa. horrible roads, snow and salt, etc.

Did you do a custom cutout of the plastic pieces where the strut bar bracket is? And if yes, what rubber did you use around the cutout. Looks great!

That's a nice little trick. How hard is that to do?
