Car has been in the shop forever it seems, but here are the results:
-Wald rear bumper custom fabricated to fit usdm...finally.
-05-06 tailights blacked out with vinyl (soon to be painted.)
-Wrapped the dash in the same black suede as headliner and rest of interior.
-Wet sand and buff entire car.
I also recently switched to the 4.083 rear end gears as well as the ACT hdss clutch and Streetlite flywheel. Ive mentioned it elsewhere but the gearing is awsome. They are easy to drive, totally streetable (with wider tires) and offer much more torque in every gear. As far as the clutch im not sold yet. Im just out of the 500 mile break in and it still feels very choppy imo, even after 2 adjustments. Not to mention the flywheel chatter is borderline unbearable.
Car will be tuned with osiris on Tuesday which im really looking forward to for both the better curve as well as the rev limiter bump which the gears will love. Headlight interior will be painted gloss black with a red stripe on the edge of turn signal housing shortly as well. Im done rambling on to the pics..

Are you going to the Quaker Lube meet tomorrow afternoon? There's gonna be a good 20-30 Z's and G's repping there. Unfortunately I won't be there due to plans on celebrating my father's b-day. Hope to see you sometime down in Tampa.

Thanks for all the comments. Dieselx, did u have a hard time with the rear lip. U happen to know where it was cut to fit, just curious after all the mock ups of mine. The pass. airbag I had considered as an issue, few ppl seem to feel that the seams of the suede will giveway instantly..but hope we never find out. Some higher end cars ie; aston martin..have factory suede dash but probably have the break away points..(not trying to start an issue on this)
About the dash being tacky, to each their own. I think it blends in wih the pillars and dbl din kit.
Most of the suede was done by a local guy I know who works on boat upholstery, did this on the side. I can see if hes down for doing this for some of you guys.

Doug- Idk if i will make qs&l tomm. I have a room at the beach for the weekend so ill be in the area somewhat, but may not be right to drive...
Btw- Blueslate, i would love to see what WALD would do with the v36 sedan, i love 95% of there kits the exception being their R35skyline.
Ive been feeling WALD Streifen wheels and think they would work much better with the direction the cars goin than the sevas im on now, and even the Work T1s I was also considering. I just saw another memebr w/ a sedan picked them up tho, they look so clean.
