I like the look of the new colored wheels on black . .

I'm thinking about putting the carbon fiber inserts on the side mirrors, door handles and stereo area inside. Any opinions on this? Any recommendations on a particular brand or manufacturer? Thanks!

Completed the Stillen Generation 3 on my 2013 Nismo. The install took 4.5 hours. I did not remove the top part of the engine cover or any of the engine supports. I definitely feel more low end power and a little deeper engine noise. The bumper was easier to remove than I thought but its not for the faint at heart! I was really concerned when I first pulled on it but it came off just as this forum reported.

I want to thank all of the members that were a part of the DIY install. It was a GREAT HELP!: http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...de-ak370z.html

When I first did mine. Taking the front bumper off reminded me of taking the fairings off my sport bikes. Almost the samething.

Your journal of all the things you have done to your Z is awesome! I feel like a little fish in a big pond.

Thank you. It's just a step by step process of where I'm taking the Nismo to. Still alot of things I want to do to it. BBK, coil-overs, seats, etc.

What's your take on the Uprev? I see you have it. Would this be a good addition now? Do you think I would see much difference without other performance upgrades like exhaust etc...?

hey DavidB, if you don't mind asking, what do you think is reasonable price for 2013 nismo with Bose and Rearview?

I think it's reasonable to pay under invoice on everything. I used New Cars, Used Cars, Car Reviews and Pricing - Edmunds.com and Haggle-Free Car Buying Experience from Local Dealers - TrueCar to get the dealers actual cost on everything. I negotiated with below invoice cutting into the hold back dollars which is what the dealer gets above and after the car sale. This is why dealer can sell below invoice because of this hidden profit.

Sorry to hear about that. But don't sweat it. It's just a car. If you need to sell it, sell it.

I had a '08 Vette (as well as a house) I had to sell when my economic situation went south, so I feel your pain.

You'll bounce back and things will work out.

I bet if you phone them to get a delay in payment they may help. Sorry!

Bummer!

And you just bought that too.

I finally used the Bluetooth connection for my phones. The good news is that I was able to add 2 different phones. The bad news is that both can't be connected at once. Only one can be active at a time. After it is registered in the car and you connect on the phone it deactivates the other one. This is surprising.
