'Project........TXSTYLE!!!'
Okay my 350Z peeps! After countless hours searching online and piecing together what my Z should look like....Here is your Boy TXSTYLE'S "Finalized 350Z" to be forthcoming......SOON!!! (now remember who posted this combo first!) 
1. Bodykit (INGS+1-Type2)
2. DVD/Stereo/System (ALPINE IVA-D900, JL, MB Quart, AVIONIXX)
3. Supercharger (ATI)
4. Wheels (VOLK GT-7[IMercury Silver[/I])
Alpine's IVA-D900 Mobile Multimedia Station is The Godfather of mobile video receivers: an absolute masterpiece! Its 7" low-temperature poly-silicone LCD video monitor provides 400% more pixels than conventional LCD screens. The picture is brighter and more detailed, with higher contrast, more dramatic colors, and a wider viewing angle.
And then there's expandability. Not only does this receiver have a host of inputs for Alpine components (such as a DVD changer, navigation system, or XM Radio tuner), it also has three A/V inputs and two A/V outputs. Just add a couple of rear-seat monitors to open up the entertainment possibilities. Multi-zone audio-video control allows independent source selection for each monitor. Imagine it — one child watching a DVD, another playing a video game, while you listen to XM Radio up front!
The IVA-D900 plays your CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs (even discs loaded with MP3 files), and its MaxTune SQ tuner delivers first-rate AM/FM reception. Whatever your listening preferences, the powerful built-in amplifier reproduces your music with precision and authority. If you're into serious fine-tuning, Bass Engine® Plus offers equalization, time correction, and crossover capabilities, while MediaXpander brings out all the dynamics of your music and movie soundtracks.
Once the unit has been installed, easy-to-follow on-screen menus provide instructions for system setup and control. Quick Search allows you to select a menu, then use the rotary **** to scroll through its list of options — a real bonus if you're looking for a particular MP3 song or XM Radio channel. A full-function wireless remote is included for your convenience.
ATI Procharger
With ProCharger technology, reliably adding big horsepower to your engine is a lot easier than you may think. Intercooled ProCharger systems utilize exclusive features and proven technology to deliver reliable 50-100% gains in horsepower and torque while running pump gas! For sport compact applications, these systems feature the revolutionary new C-1 ProCharger. The C-1 ProCharger is the first and only gear-driven centrifugal sport compact supercharger to feature self-lubrication, and contains the industry’s most advanced technology. The C-1 shares many of the design elements which deliver the record-setting durability and performance of ProCharger competition superchargers, and is also street legal.
Advanced Design
The patented SC design eliminates the need for oil lines and punching a hole in the oil pan. Additionally, instead of being forced to utilize heated engine oil or the grease in sealed bearings, SC ProChargers are lubricated with an extremely high quality synthetic oil which is specifically engineered for high speed use, and produces the least frictional heat and parasitic load. The self-contained design not only eliminates the heat that is transferred to a supercharger by engine oil in oil-fed applications, it also avoids the risk of clogged supercharger oil lines, oil drainage problems, or engine oil leakage. By combining an advanced multi-patented supercharger transmission design with the highest quality oil, SC ProChargers produce a larger net power gain because they run cooler and consume less power than comparable oil-fed designs. This is also the only supercharger technology proven to repeatedly produce full-out race turbo levels of power.
VOLK GT-7 19' Mercury Silver 2-piece Wheels
As a matter of fact...My Car should look VERY similar to this Show Car!
That should just about do it. Did I miss anything...?

That, and the Nismo kit, are the only kits I've seen that don't look straight out of the Fast n' the Riciest.
Excellent component choices... can't wait to see the final results!
PS -
I like the part in the Alpine product description that states "Imagine it — one child watching a DVD, another playing a video game, while you listen to XM Radio up front!
Where do your kids sit...... in the trunk?
Do kids fit under the rear strut tower brace, or do you have to take out their woods first?

That's pretty good RRiT. I guess they are speaking to the hefty SUV market out there.

LOL you go through wheels more often than I get oil changes...The INGS kit is a great choice...better than Nismo IMO. I cancelled my INGS 1/2 kit hybrid order from vividracing recently due to delays in Japan, but I kinda wish I didn't. Where'd you get your kit and how long did it take to show up?

you might want to reconsider the flip out screen.. better off doing a screen in the nav pocket.
the flip out just wont blend with the interior well....just my opinion

Just make sure that you know 2 things about the IVA-D900 before you buy it.
First of all, it will not play burned DVD's.. It says so in the manual. I've never actually tried a burned DVD in one, I'm just going by what the manual says.
Second, the graphics are very slow and the menu system feels like it's in slow motion. Not a big deal, but it is kind of annoying.
I've installed a couple of these units, and they do have quite a few nice features. I just could never understand why someone would want a flip out monitor in a Z... why waste a perfectly good
nav opening. Oh one last thing about the Alpine equipment, if you plan on going with the Alpine Power Nav system, i'd expect to be disapointed in more rural areas. It doesn't have much detail at all. Also if you've found one for $1650 I think you should jump on it. Thats way below the m.a.p. price of $2299. If you sell too far below retail you can get into trouble with Alpine.

, so that's not really an issue.I have 2 other head-units as backups should the Alpine not pan out. Although it meets every need/input I want! I don't burn DVD's so that's not even an issue. Besides...If I can't watch a DVD and experiece the whole DTS experience (I don't believe the burners will transfer ALL the audio encoding not positive?) I don't want it. I currently have a 300+ DVD Library and still growing...

looks like a great setup. As far as the alpine goes im just curious if you had looked into going the "pc" route. I have a feeling thats the way im gonna go when the my wonderful Z-day arrives. I really like the work chazzg has done and im just curious as to what made u go the alpine route instead.

Now for me the problem is that I have HUGE plans for my AUDIO install! I'm talkin' at least 2,000 watts of power! So that's AMPS, XM Unit, DVD/CD Changer, and possible NAV unit as well! I need places to put all that shiz.
And most of it needs to go where that PC would go. 
For the most part I am much more concerned with "Thundering/Quality Sound" than the "Cool Features" of the PC.

The kit is awesome but I have always thought the wheels to look a little too busy. For a clean kit I would rather see some clean wheels. IMO It will look good either way I am sure but I just had to be negative!

I'm not feeling the wheels. I guess you and I have totally different tastes when it comes to wheels. While I appreciate your knowledge about wheels, I seem to find myself second guessing your choices. I didn't like the Antera's at all, and I think you should get something else that will go better with that kit. HRE, IForged, and BC Forged is where I'd look to compliment that kit.
Good luck.
Good luck.

....for your health
TX- Love those wheels and the Ings+1 half kit is the best one out IMO. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Someone should 'chop the GT-7's onto the Ings kit.
