h: I'll trade you for your G35.

 

My only rant is that the Stereo is displaying "Code" and I didn't get that from the dealer. I'll have to give them a call tomorrow morning.

 

nice man. what do you do again?

 

did u look in the owners manual? the dealer that sold my car new put duplicate stickers for the radio code all over it.

 

look in the manual or inside glove box on side. There should be sticker.

 

Hell ****ing yes

Welcome to the club brutha

 

methought darkside = turbo :thinking:

damn that car is hawt. i want to sex0r it in the tailpipe :naughty:

 

I work in IT.
I didn't get an owners manual and there is no glovebox in the 01. I've just got booklets that transfer the warranty over to me but no manual so I'll have to call the dealer today. There is a way that they can get the code via the VIN, I believe.
Thanks man. If only I was closer to Cali, we could have an S2K meet.

 

Congrats.

 

haha, tricoats usually are just "meh." The layer they put between the basecoat and clear usually takes away some of the paints depth--you get fairly murkey reflections with anything you put on it. It isn't easy to match perfectly either (as in paint chip fixing, otherwise paint tri isn't too difficult).

Personally I like the reds from Honda that are not clearcoated, I believe cinabar is not cleared. Details up very nicely.

Formula is just your everyday red paint. for 99% of people it is better than non-clearcoated because, well, red+no clear=fading and oxidizing disaster. This particular car looks in very good condition with only a little bit of swirling (which is fine, every car has some, and you're under a specific light source which will make any car show its problems). I wouldn't be surprised if you get it back from the dealer and there is still the same amount of swirling, or if it looks good for a week until you wash it.

And while I am on the subject, I have used 303 convertible top cleaner and it is bar none the best out there. Fairly expensive but worth it if you clean the top maybe twice or three times a year. Their protectant is also up there in my list of great vinyl protectants. Actually, it would be my first choice when doing the interior of a convertible interior because the lack of UV coated glass (other than the windshield) while the top is down. Satin finish, not shiney, not completely matte.

I haven't been able to detail a car in over a month. :sad:
