Haha no problem man. Are you installing it yourself?

nah.. i dont have a drill so I'm having a friend (who did my tints and brake calipers) do it for me.

Wow love that yellow with the Nismo wheels. Wish they still made yellow.

Car looks great! Love seeing another Yellow around the forums =)

Had the Sport Spoiler installed. The spoiler came with 2 screwed and was preset with double sided tape. My installed removed the provided tape and used fresh adhesive that's much stronger.

Installed new Nissan emblems with red vinyl decal behind them. I really love the look. I got the idea from Smallywood.

5/13/2012

Applied the370z.com decals on the rear windows.

how much is the spoiler? and where did u get it?

DeEePiDDy · 05-15-2012, 09:44 AM

From ebay.. The sellers id is thespoilercompany. It's a replica but it's almost impossible to tell the difference. Cost me $140 painted and shipped.

I purchased illuminated kickplates from ebay and finally got around to installing them this weekend.. I wouldn't say it was a difficult install, but its wasn't a comfortable one that I would enjoy doing again. Having the crawl into such a tiny car and contorting my body in order to get to the harnesses was not fun at all. I can't imagine how a bigger/taller sized person would be able to do this. The hardest part was unhooking the original harness. My fingers are still sore from that part. Anyways, I'm happy with the results.. here are before and after pics.

coool

the car looks good man but i think you took it a step too far with the red behind the badge .
Also the fair lady badge and the 370 badge is redundant, in japan its called the Fairlady Z not the fair lady Z 370Z

one has to go .

Thanks for the comment but I respectfully disagree. The red behind the badge is my favorite part. As for the double badges it may be redundant but I like it. I am considering putting a Nismo badge after getting the s-tune body kit but that's up in the air. As for now both badges are staying...

blackcherry20 · 06-05-2012, 05:22 AM

Great looking car! nothing else to say! I bet you get some serious attention driving around... :-)

edub370 · 06-06-2012, 12:58 PM

great looking car but i completely agree with the above statement that the fairlady z and the 370z badge is too much. definately no go on the nismo. then its gone way too far lol

thats like porsche throwing a "911" "991" and "cabrio" badge on the back of a new 911 convertible

DeEePiDDy · 06-07-2012, 08:52 AM

Nismo badge will only be put on if I put on the Nismo S-Tune body kit.

So my big summer project for the Z this year is redoing/upgrading the headunit and adding rear speakers. In a few weeks Big Matt aka BigAudioFanat(ic) will be doing my install. What we plan on doing is taking out the 2010 Pioneer Avic x920bt out of my 370z and putting it into my dad's 2005 Mercedes Benz C320 with a Axxess Metra ASWC. I will be installing a Kenwood DNX9990HD in my 370z while adding Polk DB351 rear speakers in the stock location.

After having the Pioneer for 2 years I feel like something is missing. First off I want a bigger full sized 7 inch screen instead of the x920bt's 6 inch screen. While I have had zero issues with the unit I just feel like the system over all is a bit lacking. I thoroughly played with both the Kenwood DNX9990HD and the Pioneer Z140BH at the area electronics stores and just feel like the Kenwood is on another level. Even after doing the install 2 years ago part of me wished I had gone with the Kenwood instead of the Pioneer. Please keep in mind that while Matt gave me his opinion on Pioneers BUT NEVER tried to impose his will or force me into getting something that I ultimately didn't choose. In the end I agree with him that Kenwood units definitely outclass the Pioneers. I feel like Matt takes a lot of heat because he dislikes Pioneers but strangely enough many of the professional installers I've met at the local shops pretty much agreed with his opinion.
