Darkness ...
So after an eventful delivery the 3LZ HTC is finally home, washed, clayed, and paint corrected waiting to be dropped off for PPF and tint in a couple of days. Looking forward to the tint most to complete the sinister look. I purposefully kept everything black on the outside without CF, with black wheels and calipers and the only color being a hint of red in the emblems and center caps. I did contrast the interior with tan comp seats, black pack, and lever 2 CF. I went back and forth on doing dipped but I'm happy that I went this way instead in order to bring the outside color in. It came out better than I ever hoped. The car has a lift and is dropped on Cicio collars and has 20mm spacers in the rear and 10mm spacers at the front.
Here's a few pics with the top up after the initial detail ... I will bore everyone with more pics and maybe a video as time passes.

What brand spacers did you use? I didn't know any were available yet. Thanks

In spite of what you went thru it looks like it was definitely worth the wait! I'm glad to see the colored door cards. I haven't heard the definitive combination of options to have them included but I hope they're on my Z.
