Changed the terrible fact speakers. JL Audio 6×9 up front, 3.5 rear. Left the factory dash tweeters but have 1in JL if I want to add em. Sounds way better. Boosted6 CAI came in today, watching some videos and that looks to be a pain to do.

In the central valley of California we saw 109° both directions. The glass was uncomfortably warm.

How did you get (what I assume is) the Sport gauge mode to display the exterior temp?? Wait, this is only for '24 models, isn't it... Shite.

A little busy first 2 weeks with the car (offically tomorrow LOL) and I plan on doing my thoughts at about 1,500 miles - just to share - @ 880 miles now.

Tinted rear tail lights and quarter markers and last night got home and decided to paint engine cover. By EOW should have artwork for wrap done so we can get that going.

Your car looks good. I’m gonna steal your idea with the engine cover. It looks amazing. I also have the diamond black paint. With the red interior. I tinted the taillights as soon as I brought it home. Thank you for the pics.

Going to have to look at where the door arm comes at it ,sounds like it is rubbing on the speakers or the bracket when closing the doors today.

Over the weekend some of the ZONC members went on the Breakfast Club Tokyo Calling 4 Rally on the back roads of Solano, Napa, and Sonoma counties in California. Started at Mare Island (Vallejo) and ended at Petaluma. Many very twisty roads that let me improve my highly suspect paddle shifting skills.... Notice the Skyline GTR (R32 I think) in front of the blue Z)

I missed out on this one but checked the photos and was glad to see this many new Z's. Hoping I can make the next one

went for a backroad drive with some friends this morning. Managed 1.1g on the G force meter but of course shut the car off without capturing a photo

I just swapped out the original, thin HDPE (about 3-4 milk jugs thick) splash/rock guard with the @Mishimoto metal one. Quick, easy direct replacement.

I was thinking of the Z1 - This one looks great! Access right on point. Did you go Aluminum oil pan also?

I love this thread. I haven't done anything to my Z since I installed my z1 cold air intakes in 2022. I've been kind of disenchanted from doing anything expensive after being rear-ended at a light and then surviving a flood ? but I had a question for you guys.

I've been considering getting a wrap because I frequently take the highway and I'm getting tiny rock chips. The problem is my rear bumper was completely replaced. The bodyshop assured me they used factory paint (and it matches perfectly) but I have seen horror stories of people having wrap removed and peeling off repainted areas. Not sure if it would happen to me, but with the luck I've had so far... ?

Has anyone here had their Z wrapped? Was it a good experience? Any concerns or challenges afterwards? I've never had any of my cars wrapped before.

I just ordered the Z1 under shield also to replace the stock plastic one. I like this design too. Looks clean and simple.

Sorry about your luck, that really sucks. If you are just worried about rock chips you can just get a clear coat on your front bumper. Theres quite a few different brands / ways of doing that. And you wouldn't have to do the whole car.
