Aerocatch was the scariest install I've ever done on my car. And that seibon hood makes it a pain because of how steep the hood is in that spot.

Fishbowl actually refers to have 100% light transmittance. That means having less tint that cars come with from the factory. When you se a car that is actually "fishbowl" its very strange, they stand out in a weird way

how do you know he is not the one who told the rappers


maybe he is the rapper


i have 20% on the sides and hatch glass
30% on the windsheild

I have never been pulled over in my 350z since buying it new in 2006

the reason why i have it is south Florida gets 100 degrees in the summer , and it helps the car stay cooler , also the tints all around keep fading of the interior to a minimum

someone ask why , silly question

No, no, no, T'bo!!

Smart buys of high quality stuff where someone else has already taken the depreciation hit isn't cheap, that's F-R-U-G-A-L.

But seriously, it's not like a good set of wheels WEARS OUT. Not buyin' used toilet paper (ew) or more on topic, bargain brand oil filters or tryin' to run regular gas to save a dime per gallon. So ya, I don't buy cheap stuff but I do pay far less than retail for what I do buy.

FRUGAL: fru·gal
ˈfro͞oɡəl/
adjective
sparing or economical with regard to money or food. (Wish that were true...)
Also Mic's middle name.

As I get older I really appreciate the stock body lines of the Z.
the only problem I have now is to choose between the Enkei RP03 or the Weds Sports....

Have always been into photography, but never used an editing program. Downloaded Lightroom last night and have been in love. Time to start learning!

thanks for the kind words. im actually south near the boarder haha about 3 hours from phoenix.

everything on this car has been done minus a full cage and forged internals. i originally had it on kw coils but swap over to ebaich for the pure fact that i dont drive the car as hard as i use too.

i originally planned to forged the internals and aim for 650ish hp but then at that point, i would want a cage for safety purposes and it no longer really a daily streetable car. so that plan got scratch. so for now, only plan is a cd009 swap when and if the cd001 gives out.

Deff not, I kinda wish I sprung for the velocity if it had better reviews for NA I would have probably bitten the bullet and got it... I polished an oem plenum then decided I didn't like the bling and painted it black, then never even used it.




I might have some issues.. My engine bay is not so great looking...
