Looking good as always !

Curl when they going to paint the trim around the rear hatch vents ? Is that still in the plans ?

When they going to put the lights, vents, and mirrors back on ? Where are the hood vent inserts ?

Okay, as the song says, "Killing me softly"-Carly Simon and another song, "I ain't wit it"-Paul Laurance R&B. I wasn't having it! This was bugging me so I decided to tell Joe about it. Although the C6 headlights, fog lights, and Audi driving lights might cover up some of the areas, but as Troyboy always says, "The owner looks at everything!" Oh well, another two more weeks, but who's counting.



A bit more money to do the job, but even a Lamborghini badge could fix this problem .











(resting on two soft chairs).

The C6 flipper is resting on two soft chairs as the worker sands down the rough surface. The C6 flipper is nice for various headlight applications and such, but is a pain to get it right for you need to tweak the underside. Too bad the nose isn't offered like this, but that's what tweaking is all about. The pics were taking on Tuesday and the shop is saying it might be another two weeks before completion. Plus, they need to repaint the 350Z side vent area black too.

#020 has taken me nearly 6-years to date and I'm very pleased with the outcome thus so far. The MadArch widebody kit took time, the C6 from Norm's took time, bugging V8Archie to death took time, and dealing with my own desires and wants took time. However, now that the madArch kit has been produced my ideas are flowing real good. #015 (I hope) will look better than #020.

The 350Z side vents are now being prep'd for black paint and underside pics of the nose are coming soon. Joe at Trends had a unique idea for the vents, so I told him, "It's your call. Remember, the Fiero paint job has Trends brand on it so it must be the best Fiero paint job coming out of there."

The prep and painted 350Z sides have been painted and the nose is now primered and ready for paint and Tony is resizing and posting pics (thanks Tony). The vents are painted for better visuals and to break up the overall look in the rear. Most of the exotics I've seen (like the Audi R8 or F3360) have the vents black. I'm not 100% sure this is a winner, but we'll see. If anything it will make the 350Z glass area appear larger and create definition to the area. I should be in town to inspect the results late Tuesday (if I make it before they close) or on Wednesday.

Anyway, enjoy the pics sent from the shop using a iphone4.

Thanks Tony. As you can see the shop re-tweaked the original yellow tape line and made it slimmer. I'll find out if the idea worked once the 350Z hatch is back on the car. Next is the black out lining near the Lotus wiper blade.
