BTW.. I sell the original premium 370z styled aero package myself, as an exclusive.. Absolutely top of the line fitment, but it's nowhere near as inexpensive as ikons ppe plastic variation.


You can contact me thru Facebook at AZEXILED . I've been on here for a very long time, and our fitment is absolutely perfect.

Not much doing but I set a new personal record. Haven't bought any wheels in 16 months and have kept the last set on the car since I bought them! (Sound weird? Well, consider that for six years, I swapped wheels almost every two months!)

Back on my older set taken out of storage at the "Old Volks Home". [Groan.... sorry.]




Photographed complete with turd of bird on the door! Exactly how it looks today! Ha!

Oh, and not without mild drama. One of my 15mm spacers was missing a lug nut (to secure the spacer, not the wheel lug of which I have over ten sets.) No problem methinks, just use a lug from another set of spacers. Umm, no. they're ALL "taller" nuts and protrude past the spacers face so wheel can't flush. What the..... So have one rear wheel that's not positioned correctly until I get another small lug nut to install the spacer. (Or use one of my wider spacers.) Oy.... always something. No wonder I don't do much to the Z anymore.

EDIT: Problem solved. Now running wider spacers and wheels still fit no problem at +9mm offset rears. I think next time I take those wheels off, I'm going to measure the offset (instead of believing the stamp on it). I can't figure out how these fit without any camber outside of normal range. Sure, the fenders are rolled but....

Installed Quik-latch hood latches. So far, impressed with the beefiness and high quality of these latches

Those style latches can be a PITA. The push button can get stuck and not want to cooperate. I have quick releases on my bumper and constantly have to mess with them. I personally like the Aerocatch hood latches.

thanks. I haven’t had time to work on it much due to extreme work schedule and getting things ready for a little one on the way.
GT350 is still great. A good hold over till I get this Z done.

So far; they have been exquisitely functional for me. No issues yet. Installment wise, it’s easy with just a 1.25” hole saw.

Give it time and weather. I'm guessing it's not gonna be daily'd so you'll likely be better off than me.

Yeah, the install was super easy and the first year or so they worked great.

The timing cover is chrome plated. The cam sprocket covers are polished.
