Default Im excited... so i just have to share.

Ok so this isn't some fantastic news for most probably but i feel like an 8 year old on the night before Christmas.

First off... i finally found a rear fog and i think it was the only one left in stock in the whole US. Big thanks to Scott @ Fontana Nissan.

Second, i just ordered Stillen CBE and G3 intakes from Vivid Racing.

Berk HFC's will be here tomorrow thanks to Kyle @ Import Parts Pro

SO anyways... im really excited to get all these parts in and i think im going to install them all at once so i can feel the car from bone stock to new monster! (hopefully)

Mods installed so far are H&R Springs.. 25mm/20mm Ichiba spacers. I've never modded a car so fast in my life... she's only got 800 miles on her.











Sorry, i gotta whore out my interior!!

No haven't gotten a camber kit... not sure if i need one. Do need to go get alignment checked, though. Waiting for the 2 week mark for springs to have for sure settled all the way.

H&R's are awesome. Almost ride like stock. Little plastic "spoiler" underneath the front bumper is getting scraped up a little bit coming in and out of my driveway... even at an angle. It's alright though. No other clearance issues driving around town.

I like the car with its stock look: alloys, etc. I personally don't like the way the car looks with most aftermarket alloys. The comment was meant as a personal taste kind of comment and in no way was I trying to insult people who changed the look of their cars. So, I should have added "silly" in my opinion, meaning that (in my opinion) it spoils the look of the car. .

Around 2800+/- for everything.


Im keeping the stock Rays.. I agree that not too many sets of wheels look good on the 370z.

Forgot to mention.. i will probably get an Uprev tune also. As for "whats next"... not really sure. Might go for some cosmetic stuff. Mines rear spoiler add-on, EVO-R front spoiler (if they ever become available), carbon fiber engine bay peices i.e. engine cover, cooling plate.

Thanks for helping me decide on the spacers. I am sold on that spacer/spring pair.

I like the stock to monster concept. You will most likely love all your mods. When you say whore out the interior I am not sure if this is for me, but if it works for you, all the better.
