Yes & thanks, it is the way the car came, if it were up to me it would not be there. If it annoys me too much I'll get a new bumper skin.

Nice car. How do you like it? I actually looked at that car before I bought mine. You got it from midway Nissan, correct? If you don't mind me asking what were you able to pick it up for? When saw it they seemed like they weren't going to budge much on their asking price.

It was odd, they advertised it for 18,900 on CL but were asking 21 until I said I found it on CL for 18.9.

I said I'd do the 18,900 out the door and they hemmed & hawed but finally took it. (took three hours)

I have since found out ABC Nissan replaced the motor & clutch 10k ago so I feel pretty good about it.

Thanks

Thanks.

I picked it up today. Here are the springs it has.




The rear shocks appear to be oem. It rides firm but good. Are these springs ok? I never heard of Espelir.

If they are ok what shocks should I get for them?



Hard wired the Valentine & installed the blend mount

How ironic, lol, I say that because i saw this 350 a couple weeks ago at midway nissan. after i drove a 370Z. I asked them how much, they said $19600 (at that time). I said... are you kidding me... and left.

I was picking up my white 350z, 6sp, that day for 10K. Congrats on the buy, it was very clean, wasnt too sure on the brand rims tho... what are they?
