JDM - I've had the 4.08s already and loved them so I think I'm going to just go with them. I actually got better mpg in the city with them.
Taryon - the door switch panels just pop off then you disconnect a couple connectors
Frosty - they say 3.9 is 10% increase in acceleration and 4.08 is 15% so 4.08 it is!

Next week I am having my front bumper, sideskirts, and rear add ons painted. I am going to get rid of the two-tone theme I think.... Going to color match the lip section of the front bumper (grill area will remain black), going to color match the sides, and color match the rear add ons.
Can't decide if I want to run canards or not....

When I have time lol. I drive the z everyday so dont really want to tear out the radio until i have a whole day or so to try it.
i regretted the two tone for a while now... i think it will look a lot cleaner color matched

I think I agree.. Probably going to do without the canards this time around.
KBuserk - Just spent the last hour and 1/2 trying to wrap the center console. Yeah... not happening. Going to pay someone to do that part lol. I have no idea how some people are so good at doing stuff like that.

probably going to wait and see if a deal on a used set pops up on here or craigslist
haha I knew it! I'm thinking about hydrodipping mine. I tried and failed and had my brother try and we failed too many times to attempt it again. By the way, I guess I should change my name to kbuserk lol it sounds cooler than ksuberk
I like your interior.The red & black.
Not a fan of CF wrap.I prefer the real stuff.
If see my pics,got a lot of CF.
Have noted a trend in using Kevlar/CF hybrid in trims.
This material comes in several colors.One being red.
Your inside door latch barrels may look good in red.
Don't know if the color would match your seats...
I'd stay with the canards.I've got a stock bumper.
Put on Varis CF canards.The only ones made specifically
for the stock bumper.They look great.
However,if you are going for a clean look,the canards alone
may not work.

no, i just wrapped over the regular surface. it wasn't having problems sticking, it was just... i'd get one side like near perfect, then would have to do the edges and when i'd bend it down and try to stretch it a little, it would mess up the whole other side, etc etc etc.. really frustrating.

Went to visit my buddy in Wilmington, NC this weekend. He shot my car before i go through with the paint changes this week.
Also this same rear Timken wheel bearing is going out again... Got another coming through autozone thanks to the lifetime warranty. I'll eventually get one that works hopefully -_-
Here are a couple pics i took with my iphone.. high quality pics coming in a few days
