Haha I can just picture you talking to the cops about your engine mods! That's the first I've ever heard of that, my luck they would have handed me fix-it tickets left and right! Lol

I must admit it was kinda fun! By the time they pulled me over I had lost the last little fuel light on my gauge....I was freaking out! NOT NOW...I NEED GAS!!! They actually followed me to Franklin Farm Road to the Sunoco station so that was nice of them. I put in 19.006 gallons......I was seriously almost out!

The thing that gets me....I had a company in Dulles install all my exterior CF and the modded headlights. Not only did they do that but they also passed my state inspection during the 4 days they had my car! WTF? The place didn't have a problem with my headlight mod's. I even checked with them before I decided to use them for the install. I asked them....will this cause me to fail my state inspection....are they illegal? They stated to me "No, this shouldn't be a problem. As long as they are on the car and working during the inspection process you're good."

Most inspection stations don't care about those mods, but the "blue" LED might be a "distraction" and cause accidents, (according to police) LOL.

On a side note, I remember a lot of people having those windshield washer nozzle LEDs... now they're extinct!

Ha...yeah, I do actually have the white LED's that came with the car in the glovebox. I even told the officer last night that if she wanted me to swap them out right now I would be happy to do it. That might have bought me some time with those......I dunno. Rarely do I drove this car at night....now I remember why.

Tires are Michelin Pilot Sports A/S Plus, they lasted forever and handled above-average. But they're almost completely bald now so a set of RE070's are going to be thrown on next week.

Suspension is Bilstein PSS9 coilovers, but with my new mods and tires getting installed in a few weeks, these def won't cut it anymore. Need something with external reservoirs, still debating.

350zfan - me likes the suede

External reservoirs are really for expediency more than anything.....If you are really trying to baller up get JRZ's w/custom springs.

Hope I start a knuckle-breaking trend lol. Only 4-600 for a "custom" fender roll!

Anh, I had the Powerhouse Amuse Bumper on my car, with matching sides, but I took it all off while Nissan replaced my engine. I had the bumper replaced for a bit because my brother left it in gear and I started the car and it took off into the back of his friend's civic. But I don't really like the Amuse bumper anymore, mostly cuz EVERYONE and their mom has it. So I'm going with the OEM bumper again and a nice lip kit all around.

I actually remember Mark (revision) mentioning someone with an Amuse bumper possibly for sale or something a month or so ago, was that you by any chance?

Yeup, that's me. My car was in the show at college park with the Revision trailer.

anyways, I still have the bumper and sides sitting at home. They need some work, front bumper looks good, has a few stress cracks, and underneath a few scrapes from being so low on my car, but overall looks good. Paint is very good. The sides are cracked in a few spots ( kit was on in the snow this winter o.O ). But all is authentic, and it's all FRP (Fiberglass). Interested? I'm sure Revision could do a VERY nice job fixing them.

I would say yes, but changing stock bumper to a prettier one is a low priority right now. I'll do my best to come up with new rims/tires before anything else, hate having mere 225F/245R.
