I actually quoted with progressive, I am 25. I have military discount, home owners, multi policy, etc and a Platinum member with nothing on my record. I pay $184 for all the bells and whistles full coverage on my 12' Z. I was quoted just under $300 for a 2012-2014 GTR with all the same coverages. Wasn't ridiculous at all. What is ridiculous is 20k into my current Z, I had NO clue it would be that much, even with supporting mods. Thanks for all the info. I was thinking roughly 8k for SOHO kit or around 6k for used Stillen SC + A2A kit and then supporting mods, trans mods = $10k or so... 20k is too much for me, I won't be owning this too much longer. GTR's are getting cheaper by the month. I'll just stick it out. Maybe just do some more interior mods.

I called Kevin and decided that when I go boosted, I'm taking the car to FI for the install, not because I can't do the work, but I'd rather the experts do it. That way it gets done correctly, and I can enjoy it on the drive home.
I planned on installing at a local speed shop with the help of some pros. I am a 100% diy'er. Thanks for the contact info.

5k just for that, it's the only option? With me being at 550-600 is this required? I want to be safe and she gets the best. But I wasn't thinking most people who go a mild 550-600 on a Stillen + A2A kit "had" to run this?

I’m also mildly concerned about reliability and considering this is my daily, I decided not to pull the trigger. I think you’re better of getting the GTR and doing downpipes, intakes, injectors, along with a cob tuning kit to get around 600 hp!

Yeah, that's the average price everyone on here is saying, I planned for supporting mods about 8k for turbo or SC kit and some other misc items and got around 10k, def not 20k but that's why I got on here. Think I'll go GTR next year then. Not willing to drop 20k into a 370z that is already 7 years old. When I have have a 5-7 year old dream car of mine.

See comment above to @Spooler , I have a clean record, 25, military discount, multi policy discount, I'm at just below $200 now with the Z and I was quoted for 2012-2014 to be right at $300 monthly. I didn't think that was bad. But I do agree aftermarket mods are crazy priced (exhaust, intakes, bov, tuners, etc) but I'd go lightly modded. I just want a simple bolt on, reliable power GTR, lowered, Advan wheels and some meaty tires and call it a day.
