Man you need to take new pictures.

Most people don't realize how much it shines..

Me and my friend just detailed the car.

1. Clay
2. DACP
3. Swirl-Free Polish
4. Wolfgang Prewax cleaner
5. Wolfgang Sealant.

Thanks for everone's comments... i appreciate everyone's replies... although to me, right now my car just looks like a stock SC thats lowered w/ exhaust =T. i do have the 97 rear in the shop getting painted as we speak. ill be sure to add pics onto this thread as soon as i have that installed.

ill try to answer everyone's questions here:

thisguy_06:
Steve Ganz has a GB on this right now. There is a parts list in his thread which is stickied at the top. You can also check out intellexual.net

got_trd:
I had the stock 95 bumper on there before. I have a set of 19" Blitz technospeeds on the way.

SC400Dude:
Those clips under the headlights were easy to pull off. I pretty much broke the head off of each clip behind the grill. It was a pain!

llmidnitellsc40:
hehe.. i cant wait either. im just waiting to get them back from the shop. im getting the faces powdercoated and the lips anodized.

TurboSC:
bastard

mikeloc24:
you shoulda seen my paint before. it was full of swirl marks and hard water spots. with the help of JMS, we brought the car back to its "showroom shine" which cant be seen with my camera (or my lack of camera skill).

JMSxAP1:
thanks for your help bro. lets go eat!

I finally got pics of the rear bumper. It covers the exhaust nicely. It no longer looks like its sticking out like a sore thumb as before. It was much easier to install than the front, the diagrams my fellow members supplied were a big help.

I have decided to raise up my car an inch. It was late night and they were doing some construction and failed to put a dip sign. I hit the dip and tore out my inner fender lining as well as broke some of the brackets for the front bumper and the sideskirt. Everything is all good now though.



Here's a sneak peek of my next mod. Im still waiting for the rivets to be finished. Two of the lips had bubbles in the clearcoat so I had to send them back.

John, you change your wheels a lot, but once you get the Z1s wrapped, you need to stop.
