Default Bakemon- Digo Style

It was down to Bride Digo or Bride Euro II because of the medium sized thigh bolsters.

While I would have preferred the red of the Euro II, the suede-like leather of the Euro II's leaves ugly marks...

Got these, along with YO rails (2 seats/Rails Set) and some Carbing stickers, at an amazing price, again from RHDJapan. $1,526.84 shipped. Only paid $391.29 shipping with FedEx. I checked RHDJapan's site, and the shipping has gone up on these '2 seat sets (rails included).'

The seats with YO rails sit lower than stock, and are z33 specific. Very stiff cushioning compared to stock, but still comfortable. I'm currently a size 33-34 waist, and it's already "a nice fit." Getting in and out of the seats is more of a chore because of the higher thigh bolsters... I can imagine getting in and out of seats with high thigh bolsters like the Cuga, Ergo, or Digo Type-R... But I do think that those high bolsters would hold you better no doubt. Maybe I should have gone with Digo Type-R driver, and regular Digo for the passenger, which was my concern, as I know some of my friends and family definitely would have had issues getting in and out of high bolstered seats.

I cannot recommend RHDJapan enough. Ordered the seats on Jan. 13 and it was here on Feb. 5. One thing to note though, the seats did get held up for 3 days over a weekend by customs in Alaska. Had to fax over some documents to FedEx to clear customs, so if you want to order seats from them, make sure you pay attention to the shipping as FedEx will only hold them for 5 days at customs before it goes back to sender.

Oh, BTW, definitely not 'Bride of Canada'

You've got good taste! Wish I could fit

Gotta lose a leg. Would like to see the trunk/wiper shaved.

Nice and clean!

Every time I talk to my brother about my car, FI always comes up. It's the one thing that I really want to do, but probably will not happen for the foreseeable future as there is no one on this island I would trust to drop in TT's. I'd try to install a kit on my own, but then there comes the question of tuning and repair... which if I can't do it, I know Nissan would not touch a heavily modified car with a ten foot pole. Also, it would mean I'd have to get rid of my Amuse intake pipe But yeah, this has been eating at me for a long time.

My power needs will have to come from another source... another car.

But, as far as future mods... Priority one: High-flow cats. Would really want to get something JDM, but I'd get killed on the price. I'd be forced to look at Berk. Also, Varis Arising 1 full kit- the side skirts, the rear vortex generators, and canards. I'm cringing right now thinking of the price. Then another wallet killer- Amuse Titan Exhaust and Y-Pipe. Getting this exhaust will truly kill my FI dreams as the heat will be too much for the Titanium I think. Then probably lastly, BBK's... I love AP Racing's track heritage, but does not conform to the strict JDM theme I have going. Brembos or Endless are other options. Too bad Project Mu doesn't make rears for the 350z, or I would have gone with them.

I'm far from done, but this is going to be spread out probably over the next 3 years.

Luck has nothing to do with it. It's *****. ***** to buy something when you know it'll leave you financially crippled for a couple months (I don't get paid like a doctor).

I"ll keep the wiper. Sometimes, there are heavy downpours here and you need that wiper. Thanks for the comment though. A lot of comments say the car is clean, but it is far from it I got stickers and emblems!

I absolutely love the look of your car. I'm begining a makeover of my car and would appreciate if you could tell me what front lip and trunk lip/spoiler you have.

Thanks for the comments guys...

The front lip is Varis. Pretty exclusive and expensive. The rear spoiler is Blitz. AUTHENTIC Blitz. It has been knocked-off so you can get a "copy" as in the past, it was pretty hard to get an authentic one. I've wanted another spoiler since... too much people have the knock off.
