Since I got my car back a few days ago, I thought i'd update this thread and bring it back from the dead. Recently purchased a few things...
-Works Bell Short Boss/Hub
-Works Bell Quick Release
-350mm Deep Corn Wood Nardi (with black spokes)
-JPM Coachworks alcantara shift boot (with black stitching)
As I know this is worthless without pics... I will snap some pics soon after I get the steering wheel installed.

You put other people with 06 black Z's (like myself) to shame with your setup. All you're missing is a FI kit and even that really isn't that big of a deal. I love the setup. I'm hoping to get an Mrev2, spacer and intake and a front lip for my ride this year. I love your wheels and your stance.

I have the Tommykaira Hebi Bebi. The guys at JPM made the shift boot so it looks more "finished", which means it has a folded in edge at the top. After changing it out, I think it looks much better than the OEM one.
Thanks!

Good choice on the MREV2 and Spacer. With the Uprev tune you can really feel the difference. Ever since I got the car i've been dreaming of the Greddy twin turbo, maybe someday.
Also your signature says your Z is Super Black, but from my understanding all 06's were Magnetic Black. Did you have it resprayed?

Thanks man, it's nice to know someone appreciates it. I would say I just make more impulsive purchases than some other owners lol.

I need to change that. When I first looked up my paint code I was almost positive it said Black pearl but when I posted about it here everyone said it was super black or magnetic black. When I went to make my sig I just put super black. I should just change it to black.

Safest bet is to call it G41, which is Nissan's color code. Otherwise I've seen it called Magnetic Black, Magnetic Black Pearl, Black Metallic, etc. The reason I bring it up is that years ago I had some body kit parts painted to match my car (G41), but when I picked the parts up I noticed they were straight gloss black (likely KH3 "Super Black"). This happened in late 2006. I think the shop looked at the car and said "ah ok, a black 350z. That's Nissan code KH3" and didn't actually look at the sticker in the door jam to get the proper color code (or look too closely at the body of the car for that matter). Maybe it was the first black 350z they had sprayed after the 2005 model year, who knows. Anyway that's why I'm a bit sensitive to using anything other than the manufacturer's color code when it comes down to it.

It's always a good feeling driving the Z after being stored for so long, it never gets old!
Here are some random pics from the last few days. Still learning this fancy camera
Ahh! That's my nightmare, good thing they made it right.

I got the black Rapfix II QR so I could test out a few different steering wheels until I finally know what I'm doing with the interior.
I'm thinking about going for a black themed interior with Bride seats, also getting rid of the silver accents and redoing some pieces with alcantara.
