One things that you might want to consider for gauges are the Defi BF Series Gauges. They are a little more expensive then most, but they look and work great, and they actually have programmable warning indicators built into the gauge that light up if your peak setting is hit!

In my honest opinion the only thing I really like is the wheels because they got good offsets and sits flush with your fenders. Everything else is sort of out of place.

1) Cause they have to share it [the car] with their moms
2) They, themselves, don't know how to drive a stick
3) They are older people with bad knees and cannot physically drive a stick anymore
You HAVE to be one of the above! And that, "the dealership was out of 6MT's" is not a valid excuse.
No need to bash on the OP. He thinks it's cool and that's what matters. You act like he borrowed money from you to do all that to his car! If anything, explain to the kid what "RICE" really means so he knows that he's modifying is car towards it and not away from it. And speaking of RICE, a "Fairlady" badge on a LHD is kinda RICEY, too, no?!

First of all, no one asked you why YOU have an AT, did they? NO! So don't chime in without reading the thread PRIOR to what you are quoting!
Err...hills and traffic? That's the best you can come up with? A perfect reason to by an AT. LOL! Secondly, get over myself? Why don't you get over being scared like a child of hills and traffic! And while you are at it, get over trying to defend buying an invalid tranny! I live in SF. Our traffic and our hills are 10x worse than yours. (I know, I used to be stationed in Pearl City.)
Furthermore, I never claimed MY car to be NICER than anyones! You're such a tool! It was the other way around you talking/typing bag of rocks! Someone was clowning on the OP and was saying how their car was so much better. I happened to point out that the "superior" car is an AT and he shouldn't down on others for trying to fix their car up. So, I gave him a taste of what he had coming.
Really though, I DON'T CARE why you bought an AT! You sound even more bitter and paranoid by explaining your investment to the entire forum! Can you even read?
Lastly, read my original post before you make me sound like the "e-thug" or "online-bully." Most (NOTE: THE WORD MOST IS NOT CALLING ALL AT OWNERS OUT SO DON'T CHIME IN UNLESS YOU WANT SOME OF THE 'MENACE) of you AT guys spend so much bank on your cars cause you've got huge chips on your shoulders for being part of the PRND2L club! So, you try and try to fill that void with Nismo do-dads, rims, and trinkets!
Not my fault I know how to shift with a clutch (on hills, in traffic, or otherwise).

at least when you get your black z you can put your old mudgaurds on it and it will match. but, seeing that you have no taste when it comes to modifying cars you should leave it stock

What brand was your first Nismo version 1 bumper? I mean is it a replica? By the way your car with both Nismo V1 and V2 is simply HOT! The best. Congrats!

no taste?haha..you my man have obviously not read my post about ur teenage self seeing that i asked you to post pics of ur car since you claim mine as ricer..
i had black mudflaps to simply 'see' if it would flow..which it didnt...it happened to be an 'easy' mod to remove of which why i figured hey what not just 'test' it...
i know the taste that im going with my next Z..and if you my sir disapprove i could care less..And im guessing the Z was the most expensive car that you could afford and the fact that you have a loan on it..so you can still STFU..
lemme give you a taste of my next Z..if you dont like it,its fine because i do and i know others will
black 6mt 06
black housed headlights
black door handles
clear..then smoked reflectors
Flatt black sf winnings or matte black GTS..w/ aggressive offset w/correct camber set-up
smoked tails..
Turbonetics kit with other recommended products to compliment the turbo set-up
gf210s or if i decide coilovers,tein basics..
now yo ask..can i afford this?...yes..
now i ask you..can i see pics of ur car?..i mean you live in hawaii..whats the nicest piece of machinery youve seen,a vibrator?...seriously tho,i like to chat with Z owners about their cars because im sure we share the same passion for our cars,but you my negative being, should stick to a civic where you will carry that high school attitude claiming your car has 400+hp when its 100hp..
why would you 'hate' on someone..constructive criticism i can understand and thank ppl for..but when you're negative and just trying to spark a fire..why would you do that?..but i guess anyone can talk **** on a forum
...right low life?
