Been looking into removing my gauge cluster for the interior wrap... it does look like a PITA =X.

I can help you out with that if you come in the day time. It's fairly easy, 4 x 10mm screws on the bottom of the steering column.

i think that if you were to do the nissan emblems it would tie it in together better.... just my opinion though

OR, if you wanted to do that black, maybe finish the theme you have and make sideskirts black to match lip and diffuser then the handle won't stick out so much? Just thinking out loud...


Still looks great! And don't listen to me, I don't know nuthin'!

Thanks for all the feedback It was done by plastidip and I don't really dig it that much haha would probably change it back to stock or get it painted the body colour.
I kinda feel the black stands out way too much

body color gets my vote, my opinion it makes the car look better. i had a shop prep and paint mine for about $120

Meh, you're entitled to your opinions. I believe some things made here are done with some quality controls, as opposed to knockoff ish from China. While things from Germany, Sweden, Japan, and Italy may be better than USA-made products, I don't mind having some American made parts on my car or in my house.

Haha dayummmm boiiiiiii. Glad you sold 'em, though. What kind of plans do you have for your Z? Getting rid of all your suspension adjustment **** makes me think you're raising her up.

Going back to oem shocks and spring combo for the time being. Was tired of hearing those damn mdu coilovers "knocking" around in the rear (common for those coils), and then was also tired of the spc arms hitting the top of the wheel well. just bugged me going down the road hearing all these damn noises.

so until i can afford SPL & some nicer coilovers... spring/shock it is.

plus it helped fund my new ACT Street clutch and streetlite flywheel, wilwood master cylinder, zspeed slave cylinder, and labor costs ($1692)

lol..
