About 1000 bucks. It's the main thing that sets the Enthusiast apart from the Base model... aside from the TCS and cruise control... and Homelink Transceiver... and the audio steering wheel controls... and the pedals...

*sigh* I just can't wait around any longer... so I'm caving in and getting the base. I'm sure it will be fine.
LSD = acid trip?? j/k

LSD = limited slip differential, DUH!

Yeah... I kinda wanted those too on my wheel since there's stuff that you can get for the AVIC-D2 I want that makes those controls usable. But I gotta do it man... can't wait any longer for an Enthusiast to show up here. The pedals can be added, no biggie.

Yeah i've been hoping to see one in direct light because the color looks like it has potential in photos... I was a big fan of le mans sunset.

Here's a shot under some light:

Man o Man, I am happy to hear they finally pulled one up for you , to bad it's not exactly what you wanted, but hey cars are built not bought. I am sure you will enjoy the hell out of it. And BTW I guess the guy who asked "do you really like the hood” Never read the genius quote you have below your posts.
I look foerward to some pics and a spirited write up

Cheers

No, that's $50 over the '06 MSRP, so it's only a couple hundred under '07 MSRP... invoice was $30,011 for '06. This assumes we're talking about a 6MT.

Hey Deftones...thanks for the support...call your dealer and tell them not to drill holes in your bumper...back in 2002 we had a letter writing campaign going on so we all had our requests in writing...if they do drill try....

www.bumperplugs.com

I know that NIssan knows about my bracket...I showed it to their rep right after I patented it....when they changed the front grill on the 06 model they made it even easier to install

dc89kr....just click the link or my ad to find out more about my 'Zee-Bracket'

Enjoy the ride..

I just noticed the air intakes, what are they doing under the hood? I was not aware of any aftermarket stuff for the 07 motor?

Good to hear that intakes will be the second thing I will do to the Z when I get her. The first being a 3M clear bra up front.

Hey Deftones- how bad are the indentations left by the volks you are going to be using, and are you mounting them this week? What other goodies you got planed man????? Can't wait to see her

Cheers

Please make a thread when you get your bra. I want to do the same too. Think there will be a difference in 06 vs 07 bras? Where are you planning to get it from?

I found an authorized dealer who is local from the 3M site, he works out of the local BMW shop, i spoke with him and he said it depends on when 3M gets ther hands on an 07-Z to make a designe temp. He said once they have a car and make the mesurments then they will send him a kit to install. But he also told me i could let him do a one off for mine if they don't have a kit when i get my car. But i plan on makeing myself wait a few monts before i buy, so hopefully they will have a kit by April or May.

Cheers

Kevin
