Honestly, I don't know, but I can't imagine they're significantly different. The undershroud is just so damn unnecessary that I think I have to lean that way :icon17:

Under shroud makes oil changes easier. Not sure on cooling benefits that they advertise

I'd go with the SS brake lines JAR :tup:

AMS is not the best IMO I would go TWM from the reviews I have seen :ugh2:

I am mostly looking at items I would not really consider buying for myself - I put them in order of least likely to purchase. The last two are definitely in the cards at some point in the car's lifetime, just not priority. I have plans for an exhaust and upgraded rotors and pads (and an oil cooler if I ever start shelling out $$$ for track days). FI will remain a dream...

Here are the items I am looking at currently:

Z Speed Performance Aluminum Undershroud ($175 from Z1)

Aluminum Power Steering Reservoir Tank, by Mishimoto ($75 from Amazon)

AMS 370Z Adjustable Short Throw Shifter ($165 from Z1 - I was always looking at the TWM as my first choice, so any input on the AMS would be appreciated)

Z1 370Z/G37 Premium Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit ($125 from Z1)

Please note, I am happy with my shift knob, hood struts, fog light, and start button. Plus I have EVO-R Z emblems that aren't yet installed.

1) Undershroud.... if you have problem on doing oil-change, than get it, is not... don't get it

2) mmm.... what's the benefits??

3) there's a chance it will affect the lifespan of the clutch components...

4) :tup: Nice and cheap and effective and practical

I like the Z Speed under-shield. Besides, those guys are so cool that you just want to buy stuff from them.

Go with Goodridge (they are industry standard) and be doen with it (IMO).

I don't see any benefits to #1 or #2 except that I just like them :icon17: :tup:

#3 is acceptable because I like the shifter and I am ok with upgrading clutch components on an as needed basis :tup:

#4 :iagree:



Does the shroud come standard in aluminum silver? Did you pay Z1 extra for the black finish or have it done after elsewhere? I like the black :tup:



:tiphat: I like the fact that those are actually stainless instead of wrapped with something that makes them look like the crappy stock lines.
