Im biased, but you cant beat the BP kit for its performance gains, pricing and build quality. It is exactly what the 370z needed to be the complete package!

I say do it!

@Hotrodz: We'll be passing through your neck of the woods on Thursday mid morning and again the following Sunday midday. Be on the lookout...lol

Finally getting front bumper wet sanded on Monday and clear bra on Tuesday before road trip. Hood respray (too many chips & scratches) and clear bra will have to wait until after.

**I have a local guy coming to the house for the clear bra. He's charging $250 for the bumper for Xpel Extreme PPF which I thought was a good price. One shop was charging $600 for the same product (because it was an "aftermarket" bumper and would have to hand-cut instead of using pre-cut) I think it was to cover rent on the shop & electric bill etc.

I still have plenty of room left on my warranty. I have a 7 year/100,000 bumper to bumper.

A couple of pics with the clear bra on bumper. It has a couple of air bubbles that I'll have taken care of once I get the hood resprayed and clear bra installed.

I just bought the Bayspeed side skirts, how did you fit them? I only ask this because in the door and front of sideskirt looks terrible when I go to, so looking for some pointers.

It's been some time since I posted so I thought I'd share my latest. Last month while on road trip from Phoenix to Vegas, my Fly1motorsports Alumalite front splitter came loose and dragged along I-40. I didn't realize until I reached Kingman and heard a noise from the front. I jacked up the front end and took it off. I didn't feel like shelling out the $275 that Fly1motorsports wants for a replacement, so I sourced the necessary materials locally for far less. While I was at it, I wrapped the new splitter in 5k gloss carbon fiber. Here are some pics:

New Splitter:

I think it came out pretty good. This time, I not only used 3M tape and self tappers, I use stainless nuts & bolts to secure. We'll soon find out how it holds up as we're heading back to Vegas the last weekend in August...

While I was in the wrapping mood, I went ahead and wrapped around my stereo and Navi screen. It took some time and actually had to piece it together with all of the different angles, but very please with the end result.

My new wheel came in a couple of days ago. I had the wheel custom made and shipped from Europe for a steal of a price with stitching and top ring to match OEM Touring interior and while I had the airbag off, I added a little carbon fiber wrap around the switches:

Your new wheel is something else. I love it. Are you willing to give up your source and costs? Your Z is one of my favorite. Great great work all the way around.

Where are the warp drive controls on that steering wheel? Thing is awesome.
