What about weight for the front section of the car for better weight distribution? Battery relocation? I gotta reduce weight for the front.

This past week: installed my backup camera, siriusXM radio antenna and took pictures of another way to deal the rear bumper white clears. Today I washed, clayed and waxed the car since I first bought it (Nov 2013).

Thanks! I was lucky that I was there after the owner traded in his car.

Hardwired my Dash camera right up into my rear-view mirror. Much less annoying than running the wire all along the windshield and down the pillars.

Also hid the wire for the Mic and mounted it for my headunit's bluetooth.

Default Konig??

Will Konig Illusion Black Ball Cut Blue Wheel (18x8"/5x114.3mm) fit an 06 350z? I've looked on a few sites about those wheels and some say yes, but some say no. Anyone have any experience with these wheels?

Jesus Christ those are rice. They don't even post the offset OR weight? WAFJ.

No offense but why are you looking at 18x8 square for your Z?

most run 18x9.5 on all corners or 18x10.5 on rear... if you ran that square setup you would actually be a little narrower in the rear than factory

Honestly I just liked the way they looked. I have a Blue Z and thought the blue highlights in the wheels would look good. Any concepts that you guys like on yours?
Ps anybody have an HKS Hi power that they don't want anymore that would be up for trades with a Stillen TD.?
