I bought these LEDs: CREE|C503C-WAS-CBADA151|LED, 5MM, COOL WHITE, 24000MCD | Newark.com

For the strip I used this DIY: http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...-blackout.html

For the halo I had my dad help me wire it up. Don't ask me how we did it - I couldn't do it myself if I tried.

I took the Stillen Gen 3 intakes off and sold them. The FI exhaust, Berk HFCs and JWT clutch/fw are still on the car.. I would have gladly taken the rest of the stuff off but they insurance company isn't allowing me to.

Got my Fast Intentions exhaust and HFCs as well as 4.08 gears installed over the weekend. The sound is amazing, I really missed having a FI exhaust. The FI HFCs sound even deeper than my Berks did on the '09 Z. As far as power - holy crap! I can't believe how much the exhaust and gears open up the car. I have a permanent grin on my face every time I drive this car now.

Anyway, here are a few pics of the install

You may be right on the race car deal though - the engine on the totaled Z still ran fine and it had only 36k miles on it (was replaced at 33k)

Engine replaced??? Why??? I want my engine replaced, lol

It ran out of oil and seized up on me. Thankfully it was covered by warranty..
