Default Zaino

Hard acts to follow but here's some home pictures after several layers of Zaino products.

Step 1. Zaino Clear Seal
Step 2 & 3. Z-2 PRO with ZFX Flash Cure Accelerator Additive
Step 4. Z-6
Step 5. Clear Seal

Haven't yet applied Z-8; I'm waiting for a sunny day.

Afternoon - Evening pictures. Testing new 10 Cree LED for backup light. Will have to modify the reflector and will post a DIY - very much brighter than the single 5 or 7W Cree.

I'm not sure the total in my car since many parts were sponsored and much of the work was done by myself and a few shops in my area that donated some of the labor. Since just about every part of my car was changed including the interior, a lot of custom CF parts, body, bodykit, big brakes, and engine mods, I can only guess that there's about $60k retail value above and beyond the price I paid for the car, but that's not what I came out of pocket for.

Thats big time. Id love to do all that myself, but im better off finding somebodys garage queen they customized an put another 10k into it. 60k is crazy. What brand of paint and color is that? and was the body sanded then a body kit applied? Do you know a place in San francisco Bay area (California) that can do that kind of work?

I get a lot of admirers and compliments on my car but they say too bad its lacking a few hundred horsepower. Most of the time I tend to agree but at least it looks and stops good.



Don't worry about what they say bro... Lexus is WAY BETTER then any GERMAN car... Those cars are luxury with a little QUALITY... They ALL give problems.. So while they're breaking they're pockets on repairs, we Lexus guys are driving past in RELIABLE "slow" cars with no probs.... Nice car! I love the RED paint!
