You know, actually those are the stock HID'S! It's funny how surrounding lighting plays a big role. At any rate thanks for the compliments! I'll be taking more pictures in the daylight tomorrow. And also my 6000k Ultinons WILL be here tomorrow via 'overnight express'. I CAN NOT WAIT.....

SWEET. but any chance you did some 60-0 tests before swapping? perhaps some new 60-0 tests now? just go out and stop from 60, and measure how far you went.

Thanks V. It was roughly 3 hours. We had to bend the 'heat shield' (as oppossed to removing it) and even more interesting but excellent, we installed all of the stock pressure monitor systems on these 19' Antera's! I was prepared to lose them, but we made it work! Basically trimmed off the valve stem and epoxyed the sensors unto the wheel (all they need to do is be attached inside of the wheel and tire). Worked like a charm!

haha. and the TXStyle skunkworks finally releases pictures. Very lippy. A little too bling bling for my tastes, but very high quality, esp. with those rotors behind em. You should try a 60-0 test to see what you have over stock

Marcus,

I'm off tomorrow (Tuesday). Give me a shout so I can come over and see those new shoes. I think I might want to try the Toyos before the S-03s. Can you hook a brotha (whitey) up?

Like the brakes, but those rims just don't do it for me. IMO, anything over 6 spokes just don't look right on a sportscar... but if you like it, more power to ya!

There is gap (rolling diameter is virtually the same) and yes, I do plan on suspension upgrades as soon as my funds replinish.

Those Rims are Wayyyyy to busy for my tastes. Stoptechs look good but are they better than factory installed Bembos performance wise?

Nice brakes - I actually contact Stop Tech a while back - I didn't realize their kit for the 350Z was already available. If you don't mind me asking, how much did they set you back? Also, do you know if they'll fit behind stock rims?

Do you plan on actually taking your car to the track or did you get them just for show?

I think he got them due to the brake dust from the oem pads. a lot of money, imo, just to avoid cleaning my wheels a little more often. i believe txstyle has always stated he is more SHOW than GO. right TX????
