Oh, and here's something for you Stang owners. Feel free to print these out and affix them somewhere visible in the cabin.

True, but how many V6 350/370zs do you see?

You're failing to see the point, clearly.

Nitex · 09-08-2010, 06:12 PM

^^ i get both of your points. However, i think dreamer is right on this one. We only have 350z and 370z. None of our cars have a lower displacement option. While us 370 owners see quite a few 350's on the street. Its not like we see a 370z with a 4 banger on every corner.

OK, so I need to build a custom bracket to hold my front plate. I think I want to mount it off to the side, but I'm not quite sure how I'm going to go about it.

wilsonp · 09-08-2010, 07:25 PM

Why off to the side? I wish something like this was available for the 370Z:

Welcome to Craig's Custom Mustang Brackets

I built something similar (without the powder coating) for my wife's Grand Cherokee, but it had a convenient bar with holes in it under the bumper.
Since my 370Z has the factory holder installed already, I may just cut it to hide behind the plate and frame I have.

I just changed my registration from Texas to Oklahoma with this thing... no front plate required, NO EMISSIONS TESTS!!! ahhhhh!!!! Aside from the otherwise archaic alcohol laws and drab scenery, I'm diggin this state.

I am going to the DMV tomorrow morning to apply for title and register the car.

Just did the sound tube mod... I pulled out the insulator and the plug inside the cockpit. It's definitely louder when you're on the throttle in the mid-range but nothing crazy. I might keep it like this until I get my CAI and exhaust, then I'll just remove the thing all together.
