As soon as I get home I am starting to swap out the plugs, and valve cover seals, as well as replacing/sealing 6 new spark plug tube grommets due to oill.
Also thinking about wrinkle painting the Plenum (black) and the valves (red wrinkle) 350degree spraypaint.

That looks pretty sweet, might even look good color matched to the side addons.

If you haven't started painting yet, remove the side emblems, bumper, door handles, and headlights. Takes very little time and looks way better.

Got them as a package deal from propartsUSA. Tell them Zach from my350z sent you, they gave me the pair for $1155.00 for the shocks and springs shipped.

I like how you're experimenting with out of box ideas. A 1-2 inch rise would look nice/subtle, would match your rear flares. The RWB car is overkill.

i like the idea but not that high.. like sparco said a few inches would look good but i dont think it would be too much of a noticeable difference..

Im thinking something like this off a V2 or V3 base would be bad ***, then use an APR 300 for the actual wing.

Some Carbon Fiber Vinyl! Let me know what you think!
I just finished installing some carbin fiber vinyl myself. I previously plasti-dipped the handles and just layed the vinyl on top. Let me know what you think!
Oh yeah, I just also removed my Nismo CAI and replaced it with a K&N CAI for smog reasons. No pictures though. K&N does sound better and feels better just FYI.

Not a big deal, but put my new ZSpeed aluminum undershroud on; it fit perfect and these clear the bigger dia. swaybars (I have Hotchkis). Highly recommend the ZSpeed!
