So my sister came back into town for a visit and lent me her new digital camera. Man, I really need to buy a new camera because it is night and day compared to my 7 year old digital camera. Enjoy!
High Res Pictures of my JDM Pro-Staff Carbon Fiber lip painted:

(Wheel spacers for your rear wheel makes your car look so much more aggressive!)
(Also notice there is no scrambled eggs turn signal reflection? I definately reccomend chrome plated turn signals. I bought it on ebay for $12)
High Res Picture of my Borla TD exhuast, I notice the Exhuast sticks out further then stock:

High Res Picture of the side view, I recommand the stubby antenna, It makes the 350Z slicker then using the s2000 antenna IMO:

I will try to remove the rear wiper this weekend as well, I think it will make the car look smoother and slicker at the back.
And yes, I know I need rims. I'm saving up for next year, spent too much on the exhaust system. And yes, I am hunting for the perfect side skirts. No thoughts about the rear as of yet.

Great Photos! Thats a nice Canon Powershot SD500. I know you resized the image with Photoshop CS, but I bet you can take nice big 7.1mp quality photos with that camera. Great job!

Thanks for all the kind words. All the mods I have done is because of this forum and all the user's contribution like DIY write ups and pictures of their awsome cars to inspire you to mod, LOL. It only took a year, but I finally got my hand on a decent camera to make this post which I always wanted to do.
ZRaven, Fortunately, this JDM lip is very elusive. It was luck that I found it and won the bid on Ebay, because as far as I know, I am the only one in North America with this lip on their car. I have searched the internet to know more about this lip, and I can't find any reference to the companies website.
richardho11, I forgot that the jpg file recorded so much info in it's advanced properties! You freaked me out for a bit
I definately need to research more on digital cameras, but it sounds like you recommended the Canon Powershot SD500 as well?

I have a Canon EOS 5D digital camera along with the Sony P200 for portability. The Canon SD500 is a great camera! Takes fantastic photos for a point and shoot. Check out some of these sites to get a great deal on one.

Also, my three favorite sites for reviews:

Hope this helps!

It is just over 2 inches tall. I have driven all over town and I get all of my am and fm station. I have also driven to the countryside and still get reception. I have not travelled between big cities though so I can't say for sure how good it is. But the stubby antenna was like $9 on ebay. If it doesn't work, that's $9. And if you go on long travels, just bring your OEM if the reception turns out bad.
richardho11, thanks! I will definately check out those sites, I am very impressed with this camera. It's just so hard to spend money on another gadget instead of something for the car... but then I need a new gadget to take pictures of stuff I will get for my car... ARGH! lol

I had to paint it, the previous owner damaged it and that was why he sold it. I could not find that lip anywhere. Found it on ebay by accident. So I got a bodyshop to fix up the damaged CF with fiberglass. So leaving it CF was not an option since you could see all the fiberglass and sanding.
I bought the lip for the look, not because it was CF, so I think I would have painted it anyway. I'm a one tone car kinda person.
Here are some pics of the CF lip on my car before the paint: https://my350z.com/forum/showpost.ph...5&postcount=22
