Didn't make it to NOPI. I just got the car back from Puerto Rico Hot Import Nights and didn't really have the time to get up there.

As far as the interior, it's not fiberglassed. It's the stock interior sanded down, painted and cleared using a special process in the clear so it is flexible and won't crack. Jerry at XS Customs is an expert at the process now.

Man that interior paint is really HOT. VERY nice. How much are you into the interior painting of your car if you don't mind sharing? I did something similar in my car so I know it's quite expensive to get to that nice smooth gloss finish with the textured stock interior.

Thanks! As far as the cost to paint the interior, first you need to find a body shop that's done it before. There's definitely a right way and a wrong way to do it. If they don't do the elasticizer just right, the paint will crack and chip off in time.

I had every interior piece painted, there were around 85 pieces! Me and a couple of buddies spent around 150 man hours DA ing the pieces to get all the texture completely off. Then you have to seal all the pieces. After that you paint/ clear/ wet sand. If a body shop did all that work I would imagine it would cost around 2 grand! But, if you're willing to remove all the interior yourself, sand all the texture off yourself, then let the body shop paint the pieces, you'd save a ton of money. Getting all the texture off isn't necessarilly difficult, just very boring and time consuming!

Good luck, let me know if you have any other questions.

Took me a week of searching to find that hub adapter! Now I can't remember the name of the company I bought it from. It's a company out of Cali that imported them from Japan. Sparco or Momo do not make adapters for the 350Z yet, so expect to pay top dollar for one. Mine was $160.00!

Since the hub adapter is made in Japan for JDM car, the wire you're supposed to hook up to turn off the air bag light does not match up with ours, although I'm sure you could make it work.

I'll try to fing the store I bought it from and get back with you.
