Volks's, JIC Coilover's, intake, and dual exhaust
Black Performance 350z with JIC coilovers, intake, and exhaust. 19 inch Bronze TE 37's with Bridgestone S0-3's. Any feedback/comments/questions are appreciated. Thanks... Giovanni. (I'm having issues registering, so I posted under my friends user name).

NAAAICE!! I love 'em. 
BTW, what's whit the missing center caps?? I think the other guy with TE37 was missing his center caps too. Are the center caps shipped separately? Or did you just choose not to put them on?
The background looks like the service dept of a dealership? Subaru??

Stunning !!!!
Just like Z461's Z with the gunmetal color... 
.... top drawer. Gawd... I have and do love those TE-37's. Some cars look good with 5-spoke... and a limited number look good with 6 spokes. The new Z looks good in both.
Black track... looks like you have custom exhaust as well.
The new TE-37 wheels and S-03 rubber -- next to the Track 350Z -- the Track looks like it has chicken legs... skinny wheels and tires. Absolutely the best upgrade .. wheels, tires, and suspension.
What do the caps look like ?? Flat are best, IMHO.

Thanks for the positive comments guys! The car looks amazing in person. I think that bronze on the Le Mans sunset would be the ultimate combo. The caps are flat with no writing on them and do come separate, i'm just waiting for them to come in. The wheels do not rub at all in the front, even at full lock with the car being lowered,only when I pull out sideways over a steep driveway they barely rub the inside rear fender liner. The JIC coilovers, intake, and exhaust are awesome. It sounds relatively quiet at low revs, but screams after 4500 RPM's. If any of you guys are local in SoCal, stop by South Coast Subaru/Acura Sales Dept. and i'd be glad to show you the car personally. I will be posting better pictures, maybe some driving shots, soon.

You know..those black stickers look better on your car. I wish my wheels came w/ black stickers instead of the blue.. I would've left them on then. Also, where did you get your center caps from? I've decided I don't want the huge center caps, and want the flat ones.

Driving impressions
I had a chance to drive this car last night back to back w/my stock Track Z...
The suspension feels great, smoother than stock on the freeway and small bumps, the ride didn't feel any harsher after the wheels went on, only a lot more grip and perfect balance. I highly recommend this suspension (fronts at 10K and rears at 12K) with shocks at full soft front and rear. When I get these for my car I might experiment w/ stiffer springs just to see how far I can go before ride quality really suffers. I feel this exhaust is the ultimate compromise in added performance without super loud sound and perfect tone. The oval tips look great and there is no droning or raspiness. When you get on the gas above 3000 rpm the sound is amazing!!
When we originally dynoed our cars stock mine had a few more HP and seemed like a smoother curve, now with the exhaust and intake Gio's car should be quicker, it definetly feels like it's pulling stronger in the top end on the freeway, and the engine response is much better at high rpm. I also noticed his gas mileage is higher on the trip computer and he probably drives harder than I do.
Roberto350Z: the wheels are 19x8.5 et22 front w:245/35/19 S03PP's and 19X9.5 et22 rear w:275/35/19 S03PP's These tires are one of the best tires out there in these sizes. The only others to consider are BFG KD's (more expensive and wrong sizes), and Toyo Proxes T1S (still more expensive, a little lighter then S03 but not as stiff and not as precises, they also wander a bit more)
