It'll be worth it though

Yeah I'm gonna leave the lugs silver.

Mark, how much have you invested in your Z? its gotta be a lot.

dmhenderson · 10-08-2012, 07:28 PM

Enough that I don't want to do the math to add up the mods but so far:
-G3 intake (purchased with car)
-DLR LED set (purchased with car)
-GT-R start button
-FI Exhaust and HFCs (ships next month)
-Headlight nonsense
-Door handle blackout
-Door speaker/tweeter swap out
-head unit + XM tuner + Steering wheel control module
-Amp
-Sub
-Caliper powder
-Wheel powder
-Silly crap like allweather floor liners, hi-pressure radiator cap, nismo oil filler cap and interior LED bulb swaps

So yeah not terrible. Not like I bought a TT kit or anything.
Definitely going to buy another pair of headlights before next year's show season but that'll have to wait for now.

That reminded me to update my sig. Had to add the painted brake calipers and the headlights.

dmhenderson · 10-08-2012, 07:43 PM

Yeah I think honestly, most of you guys (of the ones that attended the headlight event) have more done to your cars than I do

I think you'll be right up there with us once you get your wheels done and exhaust installed.

You literally own 3 sets of wheels; two of which have never actually been installed on a vehicle. I respectfully disagree.

Oh and I also bought those black/black CF EVO-R emblems. Those shipped today. That will be my Sunday project.

dmhenderson · 10-08-2012, 08:01 PM

Funny story - one of my running light LEDs has condensation inside it somehow and has shorted the set out but the dealership is on the hook for the fix.

My butyl sealant job is holding up just fine though.
