thats hott.. more pics please!!!! by the way, when you changed your wheels, what did you do about your wheel sensors? i daily drive mine as it lets me know that the sensors cannot read the wheels.. OH and your side markers are white instead of orange. i noticed youre from cali, no hassle from cops?? my 350z doesnt have any orange reflector but i drive it less often to be noticed by cops.

i forgot to switch over my wheel sensors but when i get new tires i'll have them do it. i think it costs $20-30 per wheel i'm told.

i've never left the orange sidemarkers on any car i've ever driven and i've never been hassled about it.

this is the last pic i have i think...i didn't post it cause it came out way dark.

I read on anouther forum that someone used plastic model paint then gave it a layer of clear coat. I was thinking of trying this my Wife doesn't really like the idea.
The thing that sucks is I sniped a sport grill off E-Bay real cheap. After I received an E-mail from a woman who I had outbid and she asked if I would sell her the grill. Well I told her I would have to think about it then she sent the pics of her car with a smashed grill it seems a brick fell from a truck and destroyed it but fortunetly nothing else. So being a nice guy I passed the payment information and sellers E-mail to her and she bought it instead of me. She did send me pics after it was fixed so I feel good that I helped someone.

If you had seen the pics of her poor C300. Being a car guy I just couldn't let it stay that way. And yes I'm a sucker for a damsel in distress. I'm the guy that always pulls over to help a lady change her tire while ruining my suit.

Well I feel I was rewarded by the great score keeper. I found a site today that may cure my CF itch (not that kind of itch). Stay tuned I will be posting once I have completed the project (figure a couple of weeks). Hope anouther Sports grill comes up cheap.
