Thx guys,
This lil guy will be driving his 5 foot Z4 pretty soon as soon as I can find one.LOL.

I think I'll leave the grill and do the interior trim with the same CF vinyl. I think It would look like a poser but I'll give it a try and post some pix as soon as I'm done.
Hope it won't look too cheap.

Done!

Here it goes. The colour looks a lil bit different on the inside, more like brownish.
Well it does look fake but it makes the interior darker. Just feel a bit weird. Any thoughts ?

white and whiter
the lines of the CF weave is a bit too clear for CF, but overall it looks very good. looks like a great job on the vinyl job too

which brand of vinyl did you use?

It's called Orajet. And here is a closer look:

Nice setup you got there and the work with the Carbon Fiber grill came out well IMO.

Thx, I kind of like the grill too, but still skeptical about the interior. I'm gonna leave it like that until I find another vinyl that looks better. Maybe brush silver?

Just figured out the right way with the help from FrankW to readjust the suspension. Now the hight is perfect for me.











Even this low the ride is not rough at all, just my opinion.

Dang, you're good! How could you tell from the bad pix,I can't even see myself!

Well you will be extreemely happy with those ps2. I came from these called extreem performance nitto, I was spinning the rear at least once a day wet or dry (even in third gear once on dry). Now it is hard to spin with the ps2 even with ASP(does not mean impossible). Just wait until it rains in Dec-January to see how it behaves.

There is already a thread ps2 vs eagle F1 I think... I won't argue or debate on that. I will just try the F1 next (cheaper i think), and see by myself.

Over all the ps2 are incredible and also predictable. love'em.

How are they for comfort? Can you feel all the little bumps in the road or are they fine?

Well to tell you the truth, eventhough I love them, and they are more confortable than many other tires, I was a little disapointed just bacause of all the great coments I've read that place my expectations a little too high. As for the little bumps on the road, its only depends on you about how little these bumps are. On the I-5 there are 3 different portions around Sacramento; the ride is flawless on the new portion, the other is rough to me and I can feel little the little bumps but alot less than other tires, and some other portions are just horrible. What can I expect from big size wheels? Noise level is pretty good.
Oh and that also depends on the tire pressure. Mine is 32 psi fr and 34 rear. That might be a little too high but if I go lower, I might damage ther wheel by going too fast on a pot hole. (I hate to slow down).

3 Step Meguiars

It was a little while ago but just wanted to share.
The 3 steps were done only by hand. Not bad Meguiars.

Hi ev. been long long time since...
Sad to announce that my coupe is gone. Sad and happy at the same time because I got out of this non life threatening injuries.
I am glad and have no regret having this coupe as my first car despite the higher maintenance. I am glad and would have chosen it again for a first car.

Thanks to everyone for advices and all. this was an unfinished business, or work in progress, but that is fine I am moving on.
