Lol 4 hours of working on it before I realized I'd rather pay someone to do it.

And thanks Chris, I hope to have everything installed very soon.

Thanks man, but I actually ordered them from MVP motorsports, and they're the ones that told me it's on back order.

Yeah, the seibon TS Hood is annoying, been trying to get one but they've been on backorder forever.

Installed the polished plenum, carbon fiber radiator shroud, and did some bolt dress up. Still more I want to do in the engine bay, but more on that later. Tomorrow I'm having my friend pick up my chargespeed bottomline CF sides, probably won't install them until after my car gets painted though.

Hit up Vivek Baid. He's on Facebook and on a lot of the 350z/g pages. It was about $130 shipped.

Thanks. I know with my CF accents I'll be pushing the rice factory, but hopefully it won't turn out too bad. As much as I like the v2 bumper I'm really tempted to get the sl2 bumper.

I got them from zspec.us however I'm pretty sure this kit is for an HR. Each bag has labels on it saying where it goes aka plenum, headlight brackets, etc, however none of them matched up so what I did was just dump them all in a big pile on the table and just mixed and matched the bolts. It won't take you too long, but it's a bit annoying. If you do it based on the labels this is how off the bolts are going to be, as you can see I put the bolts provided side by side with the OEM bolts and it's way off:

I've been looking for a new front bumper as well. I sold mine to a member here, we'll call him Py or actually call him Shin, yes Shin would be better, to hide his true identity. Happened to destroy it after having it for less than a week, I believe. I think he was going to Coachella and ran over a blown tire or something along those lines. Maybe he was following Snoop Dogg and sniffing up the second hand ganja. I had thought Py, I mean Shin, would take good care of it. lol

Back to my original thought, ADD kicking in, I can't decide on a new bumper. The V2 is pretty much the only bumper I see on this forum and on the roads. I refuse to buy one. The SL2 would look nice on your car.

Lol. Way to keep his name a secret. xD

I've got some hookups so it really wouldn't cost too much, especially since I've already budgeted for repainting my whole car anyways, definitely something I'm looking into.

My only thing is I'm not sure about whether it'd look good in silverstone. I'm really wanting to do a custom color on my car, maybe like a dark grey or something, but I'm undecided.
