Last row or side parking is always the best! The walk is worth it

The doors??? That would almost be like removeable T-tops. We could call them removeable door-sides.

I ended up wiping it with a dry cloth for about 45 minutes to get the touch up paint off. Because it looked like crap and made the scratch stick out more than leaving it alone. I suppose the only way, is to paint the whole door. But whats the point it will happen again. The car is a daily driver.

Congrats! I just got my car 2 weeks ago. Fun, isnt it? Although mine is undriveable up on "blocks" for 2 more weeks while I wait for my wheels to get completely refurbished by HRE.

Congratulations

Even though I am partial to the Black Z's, you've got a nice looking Z there.

Congrats on the car & the color. Mines an 02, but heres an idea of how much a wheels change & lowering on factory bolts can alter the cars overall appearence.
