Congrats!
Thanks! I thought about HFC but it won't pass inspection here in NY with them. I don't feel like switching on and off to make it work either. Test pipes are way too much for my taste. But from driving around today I was really pleased with it, especially with the NISMO CAI as well.

slapped my carbon fiber handle covers on. They don't cover everything obviously so I would paint the handles black first then slap these on if you get them. I got mine from The Z Store. Doesn't look too bad if you ask me! I plan on lowering the rear of the car tomorrow. Now onto the pics, sorry for crappy cell phone pics.

Did you mix up the door handle centers between the two doors? The weave is going the opposite direction than the rest of the handle carbon fiber.

There's a chance I may have mixed up the two sides but the way they are made it looks like there is only one piece for each side. I will look in the morning but here's a photo I took before I put them on. If I did put them on wrong no biggie I can take them off and put them back on correctly. If they have trouble sticking I have high strength 3M spray.

Edit: I just went and looked and the passenger side door handle has all the weaves matching correctly. Maybe I can contact The Z Store to see if they can send me a duplicate driver side piece with correct weave.

Driver's side right mid piece needs to be turned 180 so the curve is facing the left or front of car. Pattern will also match.

In the pic where they are sitting on thr ground I do have the wrong piece on there but I did put the right one on my car and the pattern does not match but the curve does. I might have to see what the z store says. I know i put them on correctly after looking at it.

Just another minor tweak for my '08 - a set of Euro/JDM side signal repeater lamps. Always liked the look and finally got around to installing them:

Lost my Muteki spline key. Had to order one because no one sells them individually around here. Lowering the car is put on hold for another week.

I just ordered a set of Achilles ATR Sport 2's in 245/40/17. I got a killer discount of less than $70 a tire. The previous Federal 595's worked decently as a DD and grip tire, and for drifting they've lasted very long with pretty constant grip throughout their life. The Achilles are said to be much grippier, slightly less smoky, and extremely long-lasting. Testing them will be a lot of fun. I'm interested to see how much of a speed difference these make while drifting.

Ordered the Motordyne XYZ Pipe w/Resonator option for my NISMO S-Tune exhaust. The NISMO y-pipe has a slight leak in it at one of the flex pipes. Pics to follow once installed.
