Pretty sweet. I've always liked black wheels on silver cars.

I went to the one in Royal Oak on Stephenson Hgwy.

I won the small claims case against them and they sent me a check for the price of the wheels + case filing fee. They kept the mangled wheels.

I ordered some Rota Torques in hyper black and hope to have them on the car Wednesday.

I figured out my brake noise issue. It was the parking brake. I didn't loosen it enough after installing the new rear rotors. A few more clicks and it's good now.

If you don't want coilovers, the whole setup I have was like 800-850 brand new, shipped. Tanabe GF210 springs, Tokico D-sped adjustable shocks and and SPC camber kit. Just search around for deals, because you could easily spend a few hundred more on that same setup. Like Billy said though, there are a lot of very nice coilover options out there as well.

It should be a nice drop. I have absolutely no issues with it, but my wheels are slightly less agressive than yours. I've got 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 +20 offset all around. Just make sure to get the camber kit, I definitely needed it and was glad I had it on as soon as I dropped it. I don't know if you're ever out on Woodward on the weekends or not, but I'm the only white Z with Work Emotions that I know of. Just stop me and take a look at the drop if you want.

Guys, I need a bit of a help here.

I would like to do some interior modifications to my '04 350z. This includes after market seats installation, harness and sub/amp relocation. The thing is I have never done this before.

Before I keep on going with my parts list can anyone tell me if there's such a shop in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area that can help me with this?
Any input is much appreciated
