Message	(to the paint shop, for 3 months, that is...) There's an emptiness inside me. It's like giving up your 1st born for a few months. It feels wrong. Anyway, my Z is getting all the bondo removed (there was a lot around the gas tank, rear 1/4's, and pass side door). Taking everything down to metal and getting it repaired the CORRECT way. Also, I'm having him shave the rear wiper hole, antenna, and washer nozzles (already removed the washer tank...so don't need these). He's painting the roof black, and the rest of the car the OEM #326 Super White. It'll be gone for 3 months though... ugh... I have all new top trim, door trim, door seals, nose panel seals, headlight seals, cowl pieces, 94-96 TT spoiler, front bumper, and t-top ends to replace all the crappy stuff that's faded/cracked. Here's my question to you all: He's taking out the front and rear window seals (the ones that go around the OUTSIDE of the rear glass, and along the top of the front one), but I have yet to locate new ones....are these just standard window seals or is there a special OEM one? He's saving the corner pieces on the rear glass. (and yes, I'll update my sig pic once I get it back) Z's: 1990 TTZ 457 RWHP/441 FT/lb @18psi @ 5800' ALT November 07 436 RWHP/433 FT/lb @17psi @ 5300' ALT June 2006 Previous Z's: 1991 TTZ 368 RWHP/404 FT/lb @17psi 1994 TTZ 262 RWHP/271 FT/lb @11psi 1990 N/A 238 RWHP/226 FT/lb w/50 shot Nitrous 1990 TTZ (from the thief Arley Leghorn in CALI) 2003 350z Sunset Lemans Touring Edition 2003 G35 Coupe, procharged.
