Default Started modding my PW 370z

Whats up guys, so I broke my car in recently and started to do some small mods.

Car Bought on 05/01/2010. Did a full interior LED swap from ugly yellow halogens to Cool White LED bulbs.

My next mod was the Berk HFCs to pair with the OEM Nismo Exhaust I bought from a fellow NY forum member, craniac.

I stopped by Vinny Ten Racing on Friday to install the exhaust parts. VTR just moved to a new space and the shop was huge, not to mention all the workers were awesome and overall probably the best shop experience I had since I started driving. Plus I felt right at home surrounded by G's and Z's everywhere.

car on a lift getting started:


Nismo Exhaust:




Exhaust installed:




Sound Clip. I shot this with my Moto Droid so sound isn't best and I noticed the exhaust has gotten a little deeper since the installation:

My next mod was getting rid of the front plate bracket, I ordered the Stillen front bracket and to cover the nasty license plate holes, I bought the Carbon Fiber Upper Trim piece from the the zstore.

No plate:


The Carbon Fiber trim:


Stillen front Plate mounted (by the way I got the wrong Z plate frame, got the 350Z Z logo instead of 370Z, trying to exchange it :\ )



Next up is an intake, I noticed the exhaust isnt as audible at higher RPMs, where the intake's growl would come in nicely. Until then...
