Default My San Marino Blue. Yay? or Nay? *UPDATED PICS*

UPDATED PICS!!!!
I also can't make up my mind about the jdm clear tail lights. On one hand they def stand out and make my car look diff. But on the other hand at times i feel my car looks cheap... So I put pics of both so you can help me decide
Also sorry about the lighting. I just went outside and shot them at my convenience. So please bear with the horrible lighting on my Z


First my Tommy Kaira Shift ****. It's beautifully crafted and is weighted so the gears seem to engage much smoother than with stock. Also being lower it feels like a short shifter. I personally like the round shape of the stock so i picked this instead of the nismo ones.

Everyone wondering where I got it from please refer to post #7. !!!!!!!






Second put on jdm clears tail lights from tony@riversideinfiniti. and an evo-r carbon fiber blitz spoiler. Both of which came at excellent prices, quick shipping, and of superb quality.














Third, I have a clarion double din dvd player, MB quart compnent speakers (jl 300/2 amp), and a jlw6v2 10" (JL 500/1 amp) in a type-r box from zenclosures.



The red toggle switch is for my sub to make it easy to turn on/off.




I know some people might say i should've gotten a drop and rims instead, but I live on a steep hill so a drop is out of the question (for me) and I really like the stock rims. So ya, I haven't seen many modded SMB's so let me know what you think thx.

Also thx to all the members on the forum for helping me with whatever questions i had about my car.

I really like that spoiler, you mind me asking how much it was? You can PM me if you like. Your next minor mod should be clear bumper lenses up front

Hehe thx, i understand what you mean about the carbon fiber. But the thing that attracted me was that it's not entirely cf. only the bottom portion which i photo'd is and if you didn't already know the top half of the spoiler is color matched to my car. So in that sense it's not too much, but just enough .

For the shift ****, raretrick was doing a group buy not to long ago. I was too late for the gb but managed to find mine for a little more from japanparts.com. check both out and although you get the shift **** sooner from japanparts, raretrick's gb should be at least $30 cheaper (from what I saw).

Looks good. Next you need some wheels and a drop.

I paid $400 for my blitz wing. That was over a year ago and it's still sitting in the garage. Kinda makes me wish I had waited for the replica version.

imo, those taillights only look good on white, silver, and gray, but since you probably spent $400+ for them, i'll shut up. however, if you're going to go clear on the back, why not buy the jdm clear reflectors for the front? it's minor addition, but i think it makes the z look cleaner. i'm ordering mine this week for my black z.
