Default Spiders and Stripes (Pics)

Added a couple of new pics at the bottom.

Well, I finally got to the Zaino so here are the pictures I've been promising for the past week. Let me know what you think!

I had forum vendor mike76002 (http://www.vettestripes.com) install my stripe about two weeks ago and have gotten nothing but positive responses on it. Mike is the kind of guy that will go the extra mile and if you are thinking about getting one I highly recommend you talk to him first.

I knew I wanted gloss black wheels to finish off my look but my '09 came with classic chromes. I really liked the look of the new spiders and was able to make a trade with forum member NVR2L8 to get them. His new '09 Z is in the shop undergoing a targa conversion and he made the decision to trust me by allowing me to have the spiders powder coated while continuing to use the chromes. I just want to thank you again publicly Tom. Can't wait to see how yours turns out!

One last thank you goes to my buddy James for playing photographer for a day.

The car looks great but you need to clean the Vaseline off the tires!

Wow, that strip REALY ties in the wheels and brings the whole car together. Very nice look!

Yeah, I'm not sure what I ran through but it sure made a mess.

Looks unique and a very clean job on the stripes.

Car looks awesome.

Like the black wheels a lot, the stripe looks good up to the rear bumper. Not sure I like it on the back of the car. But overall it looks great!

I've tried several different things over the years and have been largely disappointed with them all. I picked up this Armor All Extreme Tire Shine the other day and really like it. Not only does it make it shine nice it goes on pretty easily.

Try the Adams VTR, it is awesome, in the fact that it leaves the tires very black without the shine, unless the shine specifically is what you're looking for.

Focusing on the original post, car looks cool!

I like the DuPont tire shine - not sticky, easy to apply and the tire looks new but not greasy.
