Default Started modding my PW 370z

Whats up guys, so I broke my car in recently and started to do some small mods.

Car Bought on 05/01/2010. Did a full interior LED swap from ugly yellow halogens to Cool White LED bulbs.

My next mod was the Berk HFCs to pair with the OEM Nismo Exhaust I bought from a fellow NY forum member, craniac.

I stopped by Vinny Ten Racing on Friday to install the exhaust parts. VTR just moved to a new space and the shop was huge, not to mention all the workers were awesome and overall probably the best shop experience I had since I started driving. Plus I felt right at home surrounded by G's and Z's everywhere.

car on a lift getting started:


Nismo Exhaust:




Exhaust installed:




Sound Clip. I shot this with my Moto Droid so sound isn't best and I noticed the exhaust has gotten a little deeper since the installation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/blSsMoB4pBc&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/blSsMoB4pBc&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>



My next mod was getting rid of the front plate bracket, I ordered the Stillen front bracket and to cover the nasty license plate holes, I bought the Carbon Fiber Upper Trim piece from the the zstore.

No plate:


The Carbon Fiber trim:


Stillen front Plate mounted (by the way I got the wrong Z plate frame, got the 350Z Z logo instead of 370Z, trying to exchange it :\ )



Next up is an intake, I noticed the exhaust isnt as audible at higher RPMs, where the intake's growl would come in nicely. Until then...

fitment is good, I had no trouble putting it on. the quality is alright too. my only complaint is the site said it comes with preinstalled double sided tape, which it did not, so I had to put my own tape on.

lol your welcome bro. I am saving up for one and hopefully getting it by the end of next year. My only concern is the driving in our winters. How bad do you think it's going to be?

car needs moar low!

hehe not sure, might be springs + spacers, or powdercoating the wheels + calipers. Still deciding, might go for springs first. Then I want to do something about the diffuser, either paint, rear valance overlay, or get the CF diffuser... too many choices with this damn car!

Good job. Do you have a front picture of the Stillen License Plate Bracket? I'm thinking about purchasing it. Thanks.
