Barzten1,
Wow... I look outside my window at my Chrome Silver then I look at that picture and I'm thinking "it's not even the same car".
I must say that is the CLASSIEST pimped out car I've seen on this page. IMO it's easy to go overboard with gaudy parts but you my friend have good taste.
Question for you, your Stillen SS grill, does that go over your OEM black plastic grill or is it a direct replacement. Hard to install? I'm thinking about that or similiar grill and the clear corners, figure I would hit it up all at once.
Oh... I'm in for $900...

By the end of this month I will (hopfully) have completed phases I (Interior) & II (Wheels & Suspension) of after market mods planned for my car. They are as listed under my profile.
OEM options added at time of sale = $4,450
After Market Mods (labor and parts) = $21,881 :
Total OTD money sunk down a rat hole for my Z = $61,381
Keep in mind that here in the NW we have about a 9.0% state sales tax and that price has been included ... hahaha
But do you know what. I've loved every minute of it and plan on keeping this car a long time and it's still cheaper than having bought the Lexus version of the 350Z. If I had it to do over again I probably wouldn't change a thing.
Before it's over I'll probably sink another $20K into it completing phase III, the powerplant but not for another year or so.
I guess it's better than gambling it away but this really can become addicting also. Will hold off on any powerplant mods for a year or two.
