We waited there and it didn't take long, I recommend them.

nice. i paid about the same: $220 no antenna. But they had a cf that looked wet available, i just didnt think it would look right on a silver Z

Day 19: 9/8
so i blacked out my antenna today to make it match my roof

b1adesofcha0s · 09-08-2011, 01:59 PM

Is it just the pictures or does the antenna look a little darker than the roof?

somatic · 09-08-2011, 02:07 PM

its prolly just the shadowing is different because its sticking up

Dallaz · 09-08-2011, 02:40 PM

Got Cobb silicon intake hoses with high flow air filters from a dud locally. If you're from the area, you might know him: he's the dude who put a corvette engine in his miata! Super sleeper lol

That's hilarious! I just saw him cruising through the shops the other day and stopped him to ask if it was an LS in there. He went to cars and coffee last month but I forgot to ask him then. So sick. Those are nice by the way.

The perks of working at a Nissan dealership!

DIY OEM Shift Boot Install on Automatic

Ill put the GTR button in tonight, and Ill switch the shift knob next week probably

b1adesofcha0s · 10-05-2011, 11:14 AM

Nice

Dallaz · 10-05-2011, 12:14 PM

You should definitely get the nismo shift knob and it would look extra 6sp!
Tell them to start making OEM colored start buttons with an illuminated Z.
Nice install on the shift boot bezel deal, does it not sit as low as you want? It doesn't look as flush as the uninstalled photo where the black meets the silver.

somatic · 10-05-2011, 12:22 PM

i dont know which shift knob i want yet. i want one thats fairly small
shift bezel from the manual wont fit over the auto gear box. so i removed the boot, and fitted it to the auto bezel.
