that's odd, my Z is a 2009 and uses tab(s).

check AK's oil change DIY thread. should show where the push tabs go.

exposed swaybar is fine, id just cover the bushings. (factory shroud only covers the bottom of the bushings btw in comparison).

My car had 3 OE 10mm bolts where AK shows the 3 push pins. Oh well, I feel better knowing there are screws there instead of push pins. I did notice that the 4 screws that hold the oil change flap down were a zinc color vs. the 13 other black screws that held the OEM piece in.
I also noticed my car is missing (never installed) the little air deflectors in front of the tires.

did you buy your car used? if so, that might explain this.

i dont run the front air deflectors forward of the tires as i run ings in my photoshop. it's just there for fuel economy, not really needed.

Yes it is the lens replacement. I'm still getting used to the high and wide view you get from these lenses.

I saw DE's CS on his car and like the slick look of CS.

the reason why i got the craftsquare is because i have a hard time seeing OVER the stock mirror while making a left-hand turn in the Z. if it wasnt for that, i wouldve kept my stock mirrors. i dont have this issue on my G or any of the previous cars ive owned.
