Cause I'm going to need one.. hit a deer



BIG thumbs up to APS for retaining the bumper brace..it absorbed a good portion of the damage.. I could only imagine what my car would look like had it not been there. I struck the deer doing 35mph.. the thing jumped out of nowhere.

Yes, I did get mine last Friday and the car should be back on the road tomorrow after almost 2 weeks downtime.

Good luck with the repairs.

The supplamental kit really isn't needed. But, I am interested in knowing what all is in it. The only issue we've had at all is the intake piping, and my installer has an ideal of how to fix that. Everything else was smooth with no issues.

Right! I tried to fit the 350Z on the G35, but it didn't fit very well. It *could* probably work, but the specific G35 tube provides a much better fit. The rest could be fabricated easily. The kit include:
- 5 bolts
- intake tube
- top bracket for intercooler
- bracket for coolant overflow bottle
- some protective sleeving for the hole that needs to be drilled for the intake tube
-instructions (not really needed)

That's it!

Did you ever get any pics of your install? I would like to see how a G35 kit 'should' be installed.

Tig, you have an APS S/T and an APS TB Plenum? I thought those weren't out on the market yet.
