Finished installing a set of Koni/Strano on the rear. Just have to do the front now. Thinking about POR15in the whole undercarriage. Any place I can get it besides ordering?

The only places I've ever seen POR15 "in person" have been car shows/swap meets.

Let's see some pics of the Z with Stranos...

Ya I was a bit worried about that. I could always use that 'rust' spray paint for the spindles (since I have to take them apart)... but I dunno how well that holds up. Granted I think thats what Andy uses on Red.

I doubt I'll have picture's for a while since I have a few more things in mind. But we'll see

Will do. Was going to install the fronts this weekend, but dunno if I'll have the time. Andy did use POR 15 on his car, but since the car is always in the garage I think the normal paints will work fine.

Yeah...POR15 is some aggressive stuff...a real PITA to clean up, too. If your car is a garage queen like mine, standard paint will last a lifetime!

BURN to... well your home town?

On another note, is it just me or is there starting to be way to many 'Front end Splitter' threads? I think I counted 5 already. Had to close once since it was getting a bit aggressive to say the least.
