  1. If you want to use ios just get an Ipad mini and mount it, if you want something cheaper go with a NEXUS7 and stick either of them in the cubby hole.There are a few different people on here doing different things with tablets. Think one of the member traders is selling an IPAD mount. Can't think of a reason to have a dedicated in car PC these days, just get a tablet. I went for a more tablet 'ghetto' mount, you can see it in my build thread, link in my profile.
  2. I've no idea about the blackfire stuff but general rule of thumb is polish , then glaze, then sealant, then wax. I don't think there is much of an argument over the first 2 steps, but some people like to put sealant over wax. I find it lasts longer the other way round.
  3. Not a lot of speed bumps in America.
  4. If you need to ask the question you've got the wrong car. 20mpg in town 30mpg on the motorway.
  5. Lack of orange in that last pic.
  6. It looked like it had a slightly golden tinge to it, but it doesn't show in the photo. Was it straight carbon dip on black? Looking to get other things dipped soon so trying to understand the in's and out's of it.
  7. I like mine ghetto..
  8. Got it installed today. Cheers Rick More pictures here: http://s1310.photobu..._Baton/library/ from this: to this:
  9. I got round to trying the Gtechniq trim restorer today, simple to use goes an amazingly long way. Could have done both wing mirrors with 3 or 4 drops if I was quick. From this: To this:
  10. Some new additions. I tried carbon wrapping my kick plates whit some spare vinyl. I couldn't get the curved corner to stick properly though. So i got some aluminium ones, but to be honest I'm not that impressed with them. I'm planning on getting some bits carbon dipped by a local guy, so was going to use my old kick plates as a a tester and then sell them on. If they look okay I might keep them and sell the aluminium ones. Next I used some Gtechniq trim restorer on my wing mirror posts. I brought them second hand to paint up and they were in much worse condition than the ones I has on my car. From this: To this: I've also purchased Rickdon's prototype carbon dipped Slam panel/Cooling plate. from this: to this:
  11. Yep, was just going to suggest the same guy, might be a bit of trek for you though! Mine was £80 to +£80 for window tints
  12. Question is, what are you doing with them???
  13. see post 2 above
  14. It could be pure economics, if someone wants something urgently they are likely to pay more for it? Or it could be a demographic thing, the kind of person who doesn't plan in advance could be seen as a risk taker? (that wasn't meant to be taken personally though)
  15. Just stick a couple of ice cubes in it. IPA on the rocks.

    Sill Trims

    Should have 3 pairs left by my reckoning, they normally go quickly. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/56317-nissan-z-logo-aluminium-kick-plates/page__st__40
  17. I started a thread about it a few weeks ago, 2 pages of suggestions for you to go with!!! http://www.350z-uk.c...lastic-revival/ I went with GTechniq as I've used their stuff before on other things and its never let me down. I've not applied it yet though.
  18. must be cold
  19. Mine arrived today, will fit it at the weekend. Thanks!
  20. Give him a shot???? I don't think booze will help!!!
  21. They have got legs you just can't see them because of the baggy pants. (URBAN JOKE)
  22. That's why I was thinking of starting with the door sills as I actually have the aluminium ones on the way from Steve, so I'm doing my spare set as a tester (they'll probably be on here in a few weeks!). Also going to be doing the rear strut bar as thats kind of out the way. Based on the results of that I'll then go for the centre console. Its also why I'm more concerned on how easy it is to correct it if it goes horribly wrong! Any idea how much it would cost to send the centre console in the post/courier to another company?
  23. Check out this you tube channel. Some guy in America build replicas of famous movie/gaming swords. https://www.youtube.com/user/AweMeChannel If you could come up with a 350 styled version you may sell a few on here! a small pocket knife its always handy to have in a tool kit.
  24. And also give me fairy soft hands!
