Got the windows tinted.
The Eyebrow with Comfort 20 (no more need for the sun visor),
the back with Comfort 50 (a little lighter),
and the sides with Comfort 35 (a little lighter still),
All at the legal limits in Virginia.

After you listen to your own music for so long, you really miss it when you don't have it.
I am so glad to have my music back.....

Have I really had my Virginia-Gntlmn license plates for 20+ years?
I traded my previous car in to one dealer, and bought my Z from another dealer, so I had to wait until my Z was titled before I could transfer the plates over.
It's nice to have them back.
Even everybody at work was going "who's car is that?"

Never liked the look of the Nissan hamburger on the front, so I swapped it out for a "Z"
Much better....
Note: I left the hamburger on the back alone.

Great combo with the BC and Grey!

On the posts/thread, you can do more information in one post.

You can also edit a post after you made it and you can delete your own posts.
I would clean up your thread and combine it all in the opening post.

Some post don't seem to mean anything..

Talk to Shado - he might be able to hook you up!!

I never have been fully satisfied with the replacement stick shift knob that I put on, so I decided to swap it out - again.
I like this one MUCH more!!

The new one (a Stainless M1 Abrams from TWM Performance) looks better, is lower, and has a little bit of a shorter shift.

I like the leds, VERY A5 style. I think this should be an option from the other companies where it goes all the way around the headlight sort of.

Damn, Bill, you're getting it done, son! Really looking good!!!

crdskier:
I like the typhoons.
I haven't had any problems since, and I like the sound and feel.
Sorry, no dyno results to back it up though.

Al - Thanks.
And my wife should be picking up my swift springs as we speak from FedEx.
Hopefully I'll get those installed in a couple of weeks.
But I'm running out of things to do

Twin turbo? Supercharger ?

Exhaust? Test Pipes? HFC? Wheels?
Tune?

Finally got my Swift springs and Stillen sways installed.
Didn't lower the Z as much as I thought it would, but it may be too soon, and a valid alignment (both front and back) still needs to be performed.

A decent picture in the sun!!!!
