Talking A few shots of the DD...new mod now!

I took the Z out for a spin tonight & wanted to snap a few pics of it...going to be doing a complete detail & Berger mod later this week, so I wanted some comparison shots.

Pics are not very good, I only took about 10 total. When I got to looking at the pics, I hated the look of the longass antenna. I am not spending the $$$ on the power antenna, so I chopped it. I am out of paint, so I still need to touch up the ball & the base.

Still don't know if I am doing the flat black Berger or glossy...

I did the "heater hose" mod last week.




Modded antenna---

If you're looking for a glossy I have one on my car, I'm planning on selling it in favor of satin black on the stock one. It's a factory black one, in excellent shape. If you're interested PM me.

To each there own, but a real "Berger" panel is semi-gloss. Known as "bumper black. Looks 100X better IMO.
