Then again, there's no better way to clean, clay & wax wheels than to have them sitting in your house all winter long. My summer wheels are 10 years old now, and still look brand new. Well, new-ish. There are a couple of nicks hear and there.

Been going hard on the G lately, new tires, rims and refinished them. Bbk installed with stainless lines front and rear. Z1 remote tune. Helped a friend install a front Bbk and also refinished my friends wheels with black Cerakote. Parked next to a wide body coupe lol. Chrome delete is next…

Let me suggest doing the passenger rear window first, to practice/get the hang of it. I did the driver door first, and noticed the imperfections at times (the other windows came out pretty close to flawless)
Edit: car is coming along very nicely btw, love those OEM 19s and great finish you picked out

I've got to say I'm a massive fan of the G35 Rays on a G37 sedan, I think it gives it a muscular look without being boyracer. I don't know maybe I'm biased.

This weekend I changed my manual transmission fluid and gave my differential some love, including the @MotorvateDIY 5 minute epoxy differential bushing repair, new differential oil, and a Z1 differential brace. Everything was an easy DIY. You really need an extra set of hands for a few minutes for the differential brace install, though.
I was getting a light clunk from the rear when shifting gears, and that disappeared. Not sure if it was the bushing or the brace, but I'm guessing it was the brace.

I also did my diff oil recently and it was a bit of a pain since the only pump I had didn't fit onto the gear oil bottles. It worked fine but I smelled like gear oil for the entire day lol. I did mine because I reached the break in period for my Z1 4.08 true LSD upgrade. There were plenty of metal shavings on the magnetic drain plug.
I've now had my G's for about 7 years and I can count on one hand how many actual problems I've had with them. Really a great car, and I still wish I had an X for winter.

@rotarymike , I used this fluid transfer pump from Harbor Freight. The hose fits in the differential fill hole. A very useful tool for $7.00.

@thescreensavers interesting. I have a few questions:
1. How long did the epoxy last?
2. How did you know if failed?
3. Are you saying that, with the diff brace installed, it doesn't matter if the bushing is bad?
Thanks,
