Just went ahead and threw $74 for clear marker reflectors for my OEM stock bumper from thezstore. Probably won't get Motul motor oil, 5 liter of Mobile 1 instead to cushion the expenses.
EDIT: Nevermind, thezstore is on back order for 6 - 8 weeks from now. Looks like off to eBay here I go.

Sup Mic, I wish I was as technically accurate as you. Yes, + 15
uh oh. i have the same akebonos awaiting install in my hallway. Same size Rpf1s also and now since u said there was some rubbing i'm getting scared. how bad is it and where at on the wheel barrel did it scrape?
Daydreaming at work today thinking about my welded hub bolts (nauseous) and ya, now i'm guessing the PO screwed up the hub assemblies also, thus the tacks - guess i'll find out tomorrow.
Might have a fully rebuilt car before I get the new wheels on it
Well I got the new Nismo studs in with no problems and no hub damage
Also, coolant flush and new upper/lower hoses - rear shock mount gaskets fixed the bag of tin cans sound in the trunk - new SS brake lines and flush with Castrol DOT 4. However, the bleeding didn't go well, I eventually gave up and took it in - 50 bucks and i supplied the fluid...I'm back in the saddle haven't tried it under extremes, but I love the pedal feel so far-definitely an improvement, small but measurable.
But i'll tell ya, a spongy brake pedal after a flush and bleed is heart wrenching!
Next up alignment and get the dang new wheels and rubber on

Truth be told I am not running hub-rings, which in mho would have probably prevented the minor paint transfer. Fit is tight though, like frog poosey.
So, I picked up a Fairlady badge on eBay cheap and decided I wanted to make an HR designation out of the letters just for grins. Trying to decide if I want it on the Z or not and if so, which location. Yes, I was bored. Thoughts?
I don't really like any emblems or badges so ill keep my opinion to myself.
Anywho did some work on my box...
Out with the old
In with the new
Should be lots of overkill and weighs about 30lbs but o well I have given up on being a weight weenie.
Finishing details still in the works, covered the box with leather, probably going to cover the entire back area with leather after I build it up flat with foam insulation.
I need to sit in someone's Z with subs/amps and see if I should bother doing it for my car.
I'm pretty happy with the Bose system. Maybe I just need to experience it to really know what I'm missing out on.
Even with the single 8 inch sub in the back pointed up it hit harder than Chris Brown at a good girl gone bad beating contest. I couldn't even tell if my factory 10 ever even worked, but I ripped it out about a month after I got the car.
