Let me know how the overall removal goes. We both are worried about paint issues.

$200 isn't bad at all. You went to Blue Mountain right down the road from me I believe? Mine are in good shape, but they have some minor staining where water and dirt laid against the wheel face and lip. Couldn't get it off with just compound and don't have the manhood to take sandpaper to my own wheels.

Yup Blue Mountain off of exit 17 I think. Its like 5 minutes from my parents farm. I think my brother told me it was 50 per wheel. But he got my wheels beyond perfect.

The paint I'm mostly worried about is my last paint work I had (hood, bumpers, front fenders). So far the hood hasn't had any issues. My main concern is the fenders though so we will see.

I told my wife its for making stickers and banners.

I said a nice booty snorkeler sticker across the hood would be cool. She suggested a banner across the windshield that said douche bag.

We are in the brain storming phase.

Helped Brent wrap his mustang 2-tone today. Looks pretty nice. And made some more progress on Operation Dewrap.

Also surprised nobody noticed my 'door dick' in my last picture.

It was a lot of fun though, worst part was thinking the car was going to break in half for the first few weeks after.

Been out of the Z community for a LONG time..kinda miss it and am considering selling my car to pick one up. Also, maybe someone may find it of interest to trade their Z/G for my car..

2007 Lexus GS350 AWD slightly modified as well..

Please let me know if there is any interest here

Im not interested in a trade but I am about to sell this g35. Its a 2007 with 79k miles. Sorry thats the only picture I have of how it currently sits.

And I started on my light bar install today, didnt have a chance to get all the wiring done but it is mounted. I drilled 3 holes on the top of the crash bar so I could get the bolt on the light bar with a socket. Actually turned out pretty nice. Just have to adjust the bar a hair because its currently favoring the passenger side about 1/2".

Fought through a 103 fever on Turkey Day to install the AirLift setup completely on the Z. Very pleased with the result. Small air leak on the right rear that I need to find but other than that, just needs an alignment. Road noise from the rear tires is deafening at 50mph.

That looks great! Happy to see you finally made it to bags. And make sure you get the alignment asap because when I put my bags on it threw my toe way off

Hey Craig do you happen to know if the engine harness for the 04 g35 and the 04 350z are the exact same? Also if the subframe front and rear are the same?

Also what do you think a set of brembo brakes with 208k miles on them would be worth?

I assume the harness connections would be the same, but the way they are routed may be different. If they are routed differently then the wires may be different lengths. But I think they are the same.

I know the rear subframes are the same. Again, I assume the fronts are the same as well but can't confirm that.

Depending on the condition of the Brembos and if they come with rotors/pads I would say roughly 700. I sold my old beat-up brembos for 750 with old rotors and good pads.

That really doesn't look too beat up. Have you delivered the peanut bomb on your neighbors yet?
