Are tires size 255/35/19 front and 285/35/19 rear, to big for a coupe?
Rims are 19x9 and 19x10

^You're in the sedan section, in case you didn't realize. Someone can prob still answer though.

3m headlight polish, made my headlight worst.

I think i need a finer disc after the pizo disc.

it went from clear but major scuffs, to smooth and cloudy/hazey. Hopefully i can get someone to polish this up better in the summer with normal sandpaper and rubbing compound

How the heck did you manage that?
3M kit did absolute wonders for mine, though they would get bad again after a couple months.

my bro did it, actually i didnt need it. mines were really nice and clear, just a couple of minor issues.

he did his car and it came out great!!!, he then went and attacked on of my headlights
then texts me "hey i screwed up" i came out thinking he hit my car or dinged it. Saw the headlight.

Clearly it is not as clear as it could be, comparing to my other side. Its actually now "hazy" and dull. Maybe i'll go get another kit and try again. When its went, it looks decent but once it dries it has that hazy look. I think a finer disc and better/more polishing would do wonders. Maybe that pizeo disc got dirty after his 2 headlights.

^Most likely.

A brand new kit would probably fix it.
Though I hate to break it to you, but he probably just cost you a lot more work, because when you do the 3M kit on headlights that aren't already hazed, you destroy the UV film that's on the surface of the lens and make them much more prone to getting UV damage and becoming hazy... that's why you have to keep doing plastx or something like that after you do the 3M kit to keep it from getting bad again.

If the headlight it already hazy though, that film is long gone anyway, so you're not hurting anything.

What you may want to do is see if a paint shop can sand/buff and then clear-coat them. That's what I eventually ended up doing for mine, and they still look great after almost a year.

Had a break in the weather here in Maryland so I took a shot at installing my HR Y pipe. I had PB blasted the bolts the week before but had none left for the bolts this time. With limited room under the car, all I had use of was a deep 14mm socket and about a 7 inch ratchet- needless to say I'm very sore this morning and narrowly escaped a double hernia, lol!!

Anyway, I noticed something after I installed my HR. The gasket I used was a sedan gasket- the previous owner left me his 350z gasket but it was in pretty bad shape. There's a difference in diameter between the two gaskets with the Z gasket obviously being wider. Does anyone know the diameter of the coupe midpipe inlet tube? If it's less than the 2.5 on the HR outlet then I should be golden right? Or did I mistakenly restrict the exhaust flow?
