There is nothing wrong painting stock calipers to match or compliment the car. the purpose isnt to say "Hey Look I got Brembo's" its to compliment the ride. Let me guess putting daylight running LED strips in the front is also a cardinal sin right? if so i guess u wont be being the new Z where its stock. To each their own.
I 2nd the wiper delete. It costs 3$ all together and takes about 45 mins.
You're right there is nothing wrong with painting the stock calipers. People paint stock calipers to say "HEY" look at my brakes. Same with a BBK hey look at my brakes. One looks completely better than the other. And anyone who says otherwise is in other words crazy...
Now with a BBK you say hey look at my lime green banana's (calipers) and look how many times I can go from 130 - 50 while looking good.
My bumper is starting to sag in the middle, by the exhaust, how do you do that bumper tuck? I couldn't find a diy.
While i had my exhaust off for polishing, I had easy access to the heat shield that's above the muffler. I removed it and drilled 5 spread out holes on the end of it. Then you will drill holes parallel to it on the bumper, and then with the heat shield mounted, you'll use zip ties and put them all on at once without tightening. My zip ties weren't long enough so I just used two for each pair of holes. I made the mistake of tightening the middle tie fully before any of the others and it ripped through the bumper because of all the resistance. Then each of them slightly at the same time like you would with a wheel. Cut off all the excess.
You can see the spot in the middle where it had ripped through.

Remove the rear 350z emblem, no filling of holes required. Free unless you have ghosting to deal with...
I removed the Nissan emblem before, and I had the ghosting problem. I wouldn't have left it off anyways because of the big hole, but I'm sure the "350z" part would have the same problem..
Oh yeah, that sticker. While funny, it should be removed. Shouldn't have "Nismo" stickers on a Z that is not a Nismo.
Put whatever you want on your car. Your the one that is driving it, and paying the note. Nismo is not a car. Nismo is simply parts. They make stickers. You can put a Nismo sticker on your car and it is just as much a "Nismo" as any other "Nismo" Here is a link to the Nismo official web site for an authentic Nismo part: $3 sticker to make your car a "Nismo". http://www.nissanusa.com/nismo/perfo...G1-UP00103.jsp
Anyways just do whatever you want.
Here is something you can do real cheap to the interior. My wedding ring was tearing up the finish on my door panel so I wrapped it in a flat black carbon fiber like vinyl. One pic is without a flash so you can see what it looks like normally and one with a flash so you can see the pattern better.[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
