Why not just park at a distance, and bring my camera?

And not allow anyone to look closely at my car... Hah.

Been trying to free up the money to get a new bumper and have it painted... I've gotta see how much my guy will charge me to have it painted... He kinda owes me a favor so who knows.

And on the side I'm trying to get the old SRT back into running condition so I'm not putting sooo many miles on the Z.

Hey everyone

sorry I'm late to the party. Just found this thing. Larry, glad you made it over to the forum, and glad to have you in the community. Oh and clean Nismo BTW.

By my count there's now 7 Forum Members checking in from the Huntsville/North Alabama Area.
Not a bad start!

That would work. If I was having to replace my bumper I would look closer at switching to Amuse, Fujimara, Stillen. The first two you can get reps so more in line with the price of the Stillen front bumper. I figure you are spending around $500 for a stock replacement?

Replacement is like $300 I think. My problem with getting a different front bumper like that is not much is done to my car, so I don't want people to think there is more done to it by having a different front bumper.

In the end I would probably just like to get a lip.

*edit*
Also my job is a bit uncertain lately so that has also been holding me back on some stuff.

I shipped a rear bumper on my 350z for about 100 I think.

I'm late to the party again but I want to come out as well. They do cars and coffee in Knoxville as well. Could hit the dragon afterwards. Work is killing me so I'm not checking this thread as often as I'd like.

Btw ZBro. You can install that exhaust without needing spacers on the cross bar.

ZBro16 · 08-21-2013, 08:39 AM

very nice. you get everything installed? pics!

every car is indeed different as they say I guess. I couldn't find another way around it.

derraj06 · 08-21-2013, 08:44 PM

You have to jack up the center pipe section and then bolt it in. I still can't get the stupid tips to line up correctly but it's not rattling and it sounds awesome. I'll post pictures tomorrow. I'll be on the Dragon friday is anyone is going to be in the area. I'm always down to plan a trip and you guys are welcome to stop by.
