I thought about painting the lights, but my Z is on lease and I haven't decided if I'll keep it when the lease is up...for now I'm just trying to get as many track events as possible! Also, I'd be afraid of it not being constant thickness. (I've seen overlays that looked perfect, so I'll give it another shot)

other mods: pullies, MD spacer, cat deletes, 75 shot nitrous, hotckis sways, Injen short-ram, cryo-rotors...also have a 2nd set of brake pads and wheels for the track.

JIC coilovers: I just got them a few weeks ago - so far I love them. They're lowered about 2 1/2" and it's not too bad - but I've bottomed out a few times - but no tire rubbing yet. They're set a few clicks from full soft, so the ride really isn't too stiff. I've been super busy at work so I haven't gotten a chance to change the dampening yet...it looks doutbful that I'll have much time for the next few weeks - we just moved into our new house and it's full of boxes at the moment. (But I can't wait b/c I get a 3 car garage!)

-Peter

*let me know if you want a ride with the JIC's before you buy them. (Since my garage is not in order yet, I had World One performance do the install; great guys and service. Jason had competetive prices too!)

Thanks for taking all the pics guys! (I tried having my wife snap a few, but our camera lense ended up being out of focus for all of them )

how come you did all those mods if you're only leasing your car??? are you going to return it stock when the lease is up and sell all ur parts???

that's the current plan...the car was leased for tax and buisness reasons. The basic cost to us is only gas...lease payments and insurance is covered by my wife's company. (btw: my wife work's for her family buisness, and I do some part time work for them too)

dKorr, the link doesn't work...also, I'm in the middle of moving into our new house that has a 3 car garage - wthin a few months I should have everything cleaned up...after that I was thinking we could try some group installs if we got enough interest. (someone was already thinking of doing a deck install...maybe do other mods like intake/plenum/exhuast/coilovers...)

For some retarded reason www.my350z.com wont allow the words "350z" and "tech" posted in the same line (just like the words f**k, s**t, and p*ssy) so I'm gonna post the URL as an image.
