My shop is about 30-40 mins south of where I live. I've taken my G35, G37, and FX35 there. A few months ago, I found out that Kline Nissan sends some of their warranty work(had a door resprayed on our 2013 Altima) to a shop near them which they did immaculate work on my wife's door, color matched perfectly in pearl white. Was very impressed. I'll try and figure out which shop this is for you...

Wow that would be great! I was thinking of going with the place where tevi sprayed his bumper, they quoted 350 for the hood and they are a certified Nissan shop to.

You're probably fine going there for a black spray. Like I mentioned previously, I just wouldn't EVER go there for a white or any color w/ a pearl in it. In every single photo of his car, the whites are completely different of the front bumper and the car....they didn't do very good with blending it.

Yeah I talked to Zane about it and he said that tevi only brought the bumper in to get matched instead of the car itself. Do you have any recommendations on where to buy a car cover?

There's a nice Nismo cover at the dealers...I personally only trust Coverking. Expensive covers, but worth every penny for our paint. Owned an indoor only one for my G, and purchased an all weather one for my Nismo.

Zane should buy the one I sold Tevi...thing is softer then silk.

Is it a perfect fit on the Nismo? And which is better cover king or dealer? Since it's a black car I'm trying to be super careful

I called nissan and asked them about the car cover, its also made by cover king and price is at 285, most likely going to go with them.

Nah man, way too much crap on the roads already to even chance it. With my exhaust and KW's installed, there's no way I want all that salt destroying my parts.

Hey guys! I NEED to meet everyone, anyways I have a base 12 370z and it sitting for the winter and was wondering if or what suspension setup you all recommend and what brands, coils or springs shocks/struts? After you buy the springs and s/s your only a couple hundred away from a set of decent coils. Not tracking the car but may do some time at bir or mostly spirited driving. And if anyone has stuff for sale for there 370z or if theres a place on the370z.com where you look for local sales. Going to get FI cbe with 12" res and hi flow cats non res, and was thinking headers? Also I ordered Takeda attack intake. Thanks and sorry for long post.

We've obviously PM's back and forth quite a bit. The takada, you got a great price on so definitely support that purchase!

As for everything else, just let me know what you need. I'm a Vendor for Fast Intentions so I can answer any and all questions having to do with their products. Have owned two of their exhausts (G37 and now Nismo), have been to their shop for a full week in Simi Valley, CA to see how things are built. Can't speak any higher when it comes to quality of their products which is why you really don't see me advertise for any other exhaust even though I can get pretty much any exhaust available for our platforms.

If you do LTH's, you won't need cats/tps since they completely delete the cat section. We CAN put 100cell cats in the end of the headers for you.

Suspention, like I mentioned before, its all up to what you want to spend. I can offer great prices on any brand. BC Racing is a great coilover for around $1k, which you find is a commonly used coil on these forums. Stance coils give great adjustability but a horish ride quality. For $1500ish I would say Tein or KW V1's. Around 2k you're getting into KW V3's and "edfc" options for Tein.
Keep in mind, you'll want atleast a rear camber kit, if not front camber arms depending on how low you go.

You know you're more then welcome to PM me anytime on here, or add me on Facebook>
