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)

I'm certainly not knocking you because everyone has their own taste and what not, but I really don't understand what the big attraction is to the TE 37's? They are quite unattractive IMO, especially in the darker colors. They look decent in the silver/mercury silver finish with the decals removed, but they just do not do it for me whatsoever.
It's a little hard to tell the stance of the car from your pictures, but I'm a HUGE fan of the lowered car appearance, but the Z looks best at stock height for some reason. Nissan defintely got it right as far as stance is concerned.
Any pics of the intake?

I wanna know what you think about the JIC stuf (intake, exhaust, suspension). Can you post pics of the intake?
How do they peform and sound?
What size and offset are the wheels?
How much did you lower the car?

I am definitely also interested in seeing your intake.
Also, what is your opinion of the performance of the car with the exhaust/CAI setup? I am considering this exact setup. Also, how does it sound compared to stock?
Thanks.

I got so excited about your exhaust I forgot to give you my opinion.
I definitely like the look of the oval exhausts. The rear photo you posted makes the car look super aggressive especially with the wider tires. I don't think it looks bad lowered but it scares me because I could only imagine how many times I would scrape that rear in my driveway.
Regarding, the TE-37's it's all about personal taste. I personally think the mercury silver would look incredible on your car but that's just me. Remember it is your car and it is you that has to be happy with the look you've created.
Good luck with it.

Interesting, your stickers are black (I likes)...hope mine aren't.
One question:
How's that exhaust sound? I was close to getting it last month, but elected to hold out and see what else comes out-
By the way, the car is splendid

I would not of thought it, but the bronze rims against the black car looks great. On top of that, they hide the brake dust on the inside of the rim pretty well. Really like the look.

Thanks for the replies, The exhaust sounds great! It is mildly quiet at low revs but after 4500 rpm's, it really screams. Orangejulius--The car is lowered on JIC coilovers. If any of you guys are in the market for a serious suspension set up, I would definately recommend these. JIC carbon fiber front strut brace and control arms are on the way. If any of you are located in SoCal (Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Newport area) stop by South Coast Subaru/Acura and I'd be more than glad to let you guys hear it. Giovanni..

The wheels are 19 inch Volk TE 37's in bronze with a 22 offset. No rubbing at all in the front even after lowering the car. Whenever I pull out of a steep drive way going sideways, the back wheels barely touch the fender liner. No big deal. In regards to the bronze wheels on a black car--- I personally think that it is a little different, but still looks great. I know that the ideal combo would have been mercury silver on black, but i'm thinking that there will be a lot of black cars with silver aftermarket wheels. Giovanni..

Giovanni, thanks for the info. on your exhaust. I think the oval tips also look better than the stock round tips. Did you notice any performance difference. I know everyone likes dyno numbers but I am just wondering what you feel. Also, pics. and comments of the CAI would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Victor

I ordered my center caps from Dynamic autosport in Lake Forest. i'm not sure when they are going to be here. I'm going to talk to my contact tomorrow for some more info. In regards to the intake, I believe it is still a pre-production part so I can't explain any of the details until it is officially released. I shoud Know more about it in a few days. ..Giovanni..
