I like that bed-liner texture on that FSTB. Why don't you do the same for the tray surrounds and your blank plate?

You should post details and pics of your project in last year's thread about this. Might inspire a few other people who were planning on it, but needed a push.

Took off my Works (for sale) and put on my oem duckfeet that I autodipped/spraywrapped gunmetal. Definitely hides the curb marks. Also started the chrome delete with black vinyl. I did the easy straight parts first. Starting to slowly take care of the car again and refresh it's look for it's 10 year anniversary. Wheels are temporary until I can sell both the Works and my set of G35 Rays.

Hello, I am 18 and recently just purchased my first car which is a vq sedan. Im local to the Socal / LA area and i am looking for a group of owners or possible a club that i can get involved with in or around the San Fernando Valley. Im looking to meet new people and get help with my build. Hopefully go on some cruises or to some meets. If anyone knows any info or can help me in any way please let me know. Thank you.

Opened both front doors to apply additional sound deadening (peel/stick), added fiberglass insulation for sound quality/noise reduction, added 12 db LR low pass crossover to Bose mids ("squawkers"). Lubed the window regulators and window channels while I had the glass out.
Process wasn't too bad however it didn't feel like this vehicle was designed to be taken apart and put back together:
I broke both plastic waist trims ("wood"). Passenger I repaired however driver's is out as I need plastic weld. The door panel is secured very well and the clips below the tweeter don't release easily creating stress on the wood trim which is thin and brittle.
The clips securing the wiring harnesses are snug and distort the metal when removing - difficult even when carefully using needle nose pliers.

GOT to get rid of the 45# each 20" wheels on the sled.

They're XO Luxury Milans, 20x10 rear and I think 20x8.5 front. I can't find it right now, but IIRC the wheel was almost 45 pounds each. And the spokes protrude from the face of the wheel, so mine (from prior owner) are massively curb rashed. And the tires on them are the cheapo no-brand so not sticky at all.
I'm really interested to see what the car handles like with OEM wheels and good Kumhos. 100 pounds of lightness and sticky...

Test fit one of the new wheels I picked up in the front. Looks like a tight fit . Also got a AGM battery which I will eventually mount in the trunk but used it to start the car up after a long break this winter. Battery is probably heavier than stock but the rear could probably use the weight.
