replaced AC compressor, condenser/dryer,
well- ok- my mechanic did all the work-cuz AC systems are nothing i am ever gonna shade tree mechanic work on-
and in this case- damn glad he was the one doing all the work-
(he installed everything, got ready to hand the car back over to me- when it turns out the that clutch on the OEM compressor was a failure- so he had to re-do the whole job--if i had to do all of that- i would have shot it)

but- florida weather being what it is- AC is something i am not going to go without...

I like the white marker, I was going to do that. But ended up getting the Astek N-3R with no thought to it.

They're available everywhere. Here's a search result from Ebay for '07 model. I chose the "switchback" version so the marker turns amber with the turn signal input.

I happen to get mine here:
https://store.ijdmtoy.com/350Z-Front...s-p/70-720.htm

Also, if anyone has any interest in the Japanese OEM CLEAR reflectors for the front bumper, I have a pair I'll let go. They were in my Z when I installed the LEDs. Also have OEM AMBER ones also. Both sets are used but in very good condition. Please note, the CLEAR reflectors are not legal in Texas, unsure about the rest of the country.

I am not interested in electronic reflectors. Just a simple clear marker is what I wanted, but could never wrap my head around to spend $80 for them.

The first thing (and pretty much only thing, besides adding a stubby antenna) I changed on my car's exterior were the orange front side markers. They just clashed with the Nogaro Red paint job. The clear reflectors look a lot better, even if they aren't DOT-spec.
