Kit looks really nice, love the rear diffuser.

I went your original route (picked up a used manual V10 R8 in 2018) and the sticker shock is real on that side too. H&R springs weren't too bad, but stepping up to Ohlin coilovers came with an $8k price tag (nearly X4s the price of the 370Z set up). Plus not a ton of options for cosmetic changes. After a few performance parts and a set of refurbished 3-piece Work wheels (that I'm still waiting to correctly lip) i felt the same mod itch as you.

Ended up giving in and picking up a used BMW 335 as a daily 2 weeks ago. Looks like I can get 500 WHP on that thing for less $ than the intake and exhaust on the R8.
