all said and done with about 1400, Yes its the nismo front lip, it comes flat black and decided not to paint it. Thought about blacking out the emblems and handles as well.
Thanks for compliments!

Slightly higher, its like turning the seat tilt up half way. Comfort is way up and holding is much better.

MPowers, Looks great. How is the weight of the Sparco's compared to OE (was the OEs cloth or leather?)

You will need seat brackets & slides from sparco, but fit very well.

Hey man great choice. I went with the same seats and I absolutely love them. If you track the car you will come to appreciate them a good deal ... Looks really sharp man and awesome color choice. Definately was the right combo. Excellent taste.

You Z's looking tight! A nice wing will balance out the visual, front-heaviness. The color's awesome. Prolly get dirty real easily, though.

mpowers,

The seats look great. I also love the US Spec Nismo Lip. I'm thinking about getting the US Spec Nismo Kit (minus the wing) as soon as I get my refund.

Too bad they don't offer a carbon fiber US Spec Nismo Lip yet. Anyways still looks great.
