Bmurray's 2008 350z Progress Thread
I have to know what you do for a living to be able to afford the amount of money you put into your Z. It always makes me feel like crap I can't dump the amount of money others can into their cars because I'm married and trying to save for a house and a baby while going back to school at the same time.

The more i look at my car with the carbon hood, the more i dont want to paint it.... ugh.. i may just have the faded areas/buffed out (if possible), have it re-cleared, and live with the minor cracks that are here and there. they're not terribly noticeable. decisions......

I would think that a good sanding, polishing and heavy on the clear could take care of it. I've heard of some sealers out there that fill in small scratches/cracks, but don't know if it relates to the CF application.

Again, it looks great on your Z!
I think you've changed wheels like 5x since you've had this car. Do you get the TPMS switched over every time? Two of mine are out and the stealership wants $450 to replace those two and install them. Ridiculous. Thinking about just getting rid of all 4 or just not worrying about them.

Haven't had TPMS since the OEM wheels haha. Luckily the RPF1s came with them though. But yeah i just didnt worry about it. $450 damn lol. I would try and find 2 used ones (usually 20/piece on ebay) and have them swapped in.
I can buy a set of 4 for less than $100 I just don't want to pay and arm and a leg to have them installed and programmed either. I'll probably just not worry about it. As always, sick looking Z sir.
Definitely feeling your car bmurray. Our cars have some similar parts (Nismo v2 kit with no canards, TS hood, wingless, similar drop) so your taste in mods gets a thumbs up from me.
