There are some nice upgrade. I had bought a set of 20mm offsets and trying to figure out what configuration I go with (15/20, 20/20 or 20/25) and I like yours being even, so I'll go 20/20. Rep point for the help there. The black contrast on your rear foglight really helps it stand out. Great job.:tup:

Can I ask where you found the vinyl overlays for your car?

Nice! I like the wraps. Did you install the wrap on the fangs, or did the shop?

Very nice pics and mods so far
I find the gloss roof really adds to the character of the 370, definitely on the to do list... How did you find the sway bars in terms of improved handling? |

Finally got some pics of the switch install I did for the rear fog light. I followed the wiring DIY that shows you how to tap the appropriate wires at the BCM. Here's a link to that thread:
http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...ck-wiring.html For the momentary switch that is needed for this, I bought the switch below from Amazon.com. The switch has a built in LED that lights up the red ring around the switch. Amazon.com: Oracle Lighting MSGQ16FR Red LED Momentary Flush Mount Switch: Automotive The install is pretty easy. I'd say the hardest part is working near the BCM to tap the wires since it's a small tucked spot. Here are some pics. http://photos.eddiedelgado.com/photo...-DRsDBcV-M.jpg http://photos.eddiedelgado.com/photo...-2hSMSvd-M.jpg http://photos.eddiedelgado.com/photo...-qGC7WwD-M.jpg http://photos.eddiedelgado.com/photo...-WQrXsfR-M.jpg |

In order to have the rear fog light switch I installed match the color of the dash lighting, I swapped out the red switch for an orange switch. It definitely matches better than the red one did.

That looks so money! So much better, and the idea of useable switches there makes it very tempting to purchase. Does it stay illuminated all the time or is it on/on off/off?

Went to the monthly Socal Z meet over the weekend for the first time. Good times. It was nice to meet some fellow Z owners.
