I completely forgot to post my front bumper mesh grill in here. All that is needed is a $7 sheet of metal lattice with a chrome finish (from Lowe's or Home Depot) and some tin snips. However, I also spray painted mine with Dupli Color Shadow product, which costs about $17. You can check out my album here for more details.

I definitely want to remove the plastic slats... just haven't grown the balls to do it, yet

That's my problem, sometimes I should be scared to try something when I'm not lol.

A quick and easy mod is to paint the oil dipstick. Couldn't stand the yellow sticking out in the engine bay. Best part was it was free I had some black spray paint laying around(Black Gloss) and it turned out well. Also I took the warning off the radiator cap.

$50-100 for a couple pieces of plastic really turns me off.

I can think of 12 things better then spending money for an emblem haha.

I like it!

Good idea. I was just staring at the dipstick the other day going:

12? That's a very specific number, and it makes me go:

In case anyone was wondering, a tow hook WILL fit the Stillen front Fascia, but it is tight. The air intake for the Gen 3's gets in the way a bit, but it went on. I bought it from here: PURPLE Front Screw on Aluminum Tow Hook for 05 06 07 08 Nissan 350Z 22MM : Amazon.com : Automotive

Nice! I still need to get mine from Osiris, he's giving me his old one. I'll powder cost it white and mount it

i recently swapped to GTR maplight lenses. kinda cool. $30 or something.

Nismo GT2 Brake Duct Kit w/ NACA Ducts 350Z - 99996-Z3344 - Nismo

I was googling brake ducts and came across this. It's made for the 350Z, but it'd probably fit outside the bumper cutout area and it's only $100. Cheaper than the stillen kit and of course the Nismo RC ducts.
