Today's project...

I'm on a definite budget and I enjoy doing low cost or free mods to the G while saving for the big stuff and today was no exception. What do you think?



I made a few scratches in the clear coat but Zaino and a Porter Cable have been on the list for awhile. Guess just another reason to get them a little quicker.

Looks great. Very nice work.


That's what I did to mine except I have a chrome "Twin Turbo" emblem where the "G35" was.

Of course the day after you spend several hours washing and waxing her, it rains. The good news was that the scratches were undetectable with a wet trunk. I still know they're there and will be buffing them out but at least no one else could tell.

Nice butt indeed...

Superkid - be very patient and really heat up the glue with a hairdryer and get it nice and hot, it's much more pliable that way. Soaking with goo gone then more heat. I got a little too impatient and made some minor scratches in the clear coat, it's extremely delicate. Take your time and do it right...

A PC and some good polishes (mezerna, sonus, poorboys, etc) are pretty much crucial for a black car.

If you fingernail catches the scratch, it won't buff out. That is not to say it won't be less noticeable.

Just ordered the zaino's kit and I'm in the process of getting a Porter Cable. I'll let you know how it turns out.
