Bought the base model. I wanted to put the factory wing on it, and everywhere I went, it would come up to at least $500 (no install).
Went to a local nissan dealer and they said they have a guy that does all that, total came up to 399 installed. Took him <hour to have it drilled and ready to go.
Anyone interested, PM me for number. I don't know what the rules are for being a vendor here. Got pics if you want them as well.

I second California Tint, they did a great job on my Z and charged me $110 for sides and rear. Great guys and work was done fairly quickly.

^^I've heard they are good guys, haven't had a chance to go there yet though.


Gruppe-S (AKA Dynamic Autosports):
I'm not sure why this place seems under the radar but they have been around for like 16-17 years. They have pretty good pricing and parts ranging from accessories to hard engine parts. They have a 4WD Mustang Dyno and a big building with show room. They also campaign some cars in Formula D (like the Hankook 350Z). Come to think of it, it would be a nice place for a dyno day or something like that, it's between LA and SD. Maybe I'll talk to the owner next time. The link has some pics.

Shoreline Motoring:
When I first buy or replace tires on nice wheels I go here. They do alot of Porsche's, Ferrari's but also everything else. They have a touchless tire mounting machine and do the little stuff like use teflon coated sockets. Not the cheapest but your wheels don't come back with any tool marks. They do alignments too but I usually go here...

DAVES FRAME & ALIGNMENT
16182 Gothard St Ste V, Huntington Beach, CA
Ask for Dale. A lot of locals who track use this guy and hes very knowledgeable. It's first come first serve though so it's better to be there at opening. I believe if you track a lot he has a lifetime rate where he'll set it up and return it to street settings also.

Hope those help.

I like Cal-tints and Tire Central as well. Went there to get my previous car tinted, removed, and re-tinted. The appointments were pretty spaced apart but Peter (the owner of Cal-Tints) recognized me and reduced the price for me! Absolutely recommend! Gonna go in Monday to get my new 370Z tinted

Picked up some Falkens for my previous car at Tire Central as well. Best price around, checked 5-6 highly recommended locals. I'll definately go there for my tire needs on the Z.

I was wondering if Limited Edition does Matte Black wraps. I wanted to get my fangs and rear splitter wrapped in Matte black. Any idea how much that would be?
