I needed a replacement window and just picked up a matching pair so when it goes for a tint I don't get stuffed about. They were off a UZZ30 with the optional gold chrome trim which didn't match my car

The product is Plastidip, it's a spray on rubber coating. Search YouTube people use it for all sorts of ****, sometimes they go a little nuts too lol

No problem, champ. Let me know how you go. It's a pretty easy thing to apply, just gotta be careful with overspray as with any other spray application

I'll be doing that strip across the top of the front windscreen today or tomorrow, it's been worn away by the previous owner going through automatic car washes with the huge spinning brushes knocking that trim back to chrome in patches

(and not in an "oh sweet you got chrome window trim" kind of way)

Wrapped that front guard, turned out quite good and my technique with the application is improving. Zero bubbles on this panel

My vinyl guy threw me a decal of everybody's favourite childrens entertainment bear, so I got creative with it.

This is the laptop I'm using to do the data logging for the ECU, it lives in my glove box / under the passenger seat

And the decal was too big so I used a bit to cover up the god damn Nismo **** on the stickerbomb wrap

No real exciting visual upgrades at the moment, but got a set of 440cc injectors put in and a section of exhaust fixed where it was scraping from being too low

440cc injectors hit 100% duty cycle (which is bad) but all that really means is it needs a tune. I will do that soon
