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.

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....

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..

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

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
