I was reading a thread on polishing the stock plenum and adding a spacer over getting a after market plenum... Any thoughts on the polish. Is the polish just on the out side

I didnt polish the plenum but I did take off 5mm from the front velocity stacks like the OP did. Overall the car feels like it breaths better but im still gonna put in a spacer when im done with my suspension.



I installed my new springs today now I just need some sway bars and new shocks.

PS: Anybody know a G35 driver that needs some stock Z springs?

Could have been worse, your Z can't get pregnant then come after you.

I test drove an 06 Acura TL today. That effing car felt more solid and stable than my car. WTF.

I hate FWD though. You really notice it when taking a cloverleaf.

I just finished my front bumper an installed it, often things appear simple like putting on a FB. I know, I have put 6 hours in trimming and screening that thing just to get it to fit right TEDEIOUS but worth it. No pics, it will be seen on the 25th j/k I'm a douchbag, but seriously no pics.

Very valid point.

Nothing a swift kick to the gut can't fix.

I have 30%... (should have gone darker) I think it all depends on where you live... Im in Andover (Anoka co.) and i dont have a problem at all. But if i go to maple grove or a couple other cities I gotta prep to get pulled over...

Well worth it though!!! Other than wheels, Its one of the best mods for looks!!! (IMO)

There are a couple of places that will do the front,I will ask my buddie he has it done... But he has a tint scrip from his eye doc...

I am so tired of this kind of crap! Obviously a lot time and money was put into this car only to have a bunch lazy jack a**es steal everything in a matter of minutes. People like this are just worthless pieces of crap!

I have my whole windshield tinted yellow 35%, but it is illegal in most states. A Tint bis wouldn't do it because they could get in trouble(under the table maybe) I have been polled over and it was mentioned but never got a ticket for it(depends on how you look and act). My Z is not a daily driver though, If it was seen all the time I would probably get a fix-it ticket(those go on your driving record now)

I would like to put all the fu***** thieves in one boat then sink it. Save, Pine over, then purchase it. It is so much more rewarding.
