I'm thinking about putting the carbon fiber inserts on the side mirrors, door handles and stereo area inside. Any opinions on this? Any recommendations on a particular brand or manufacturer? Thanks!

I like the look of the new colored wheels on black . .

Finally installed my Stillen Gen 3 on my Nismo!

Completed the Stillen Generation 3 on my 2013 Nismo. The install took 4.5 hours. I did not remove the top part of the engine cover or any of the engine supports. I definitely feel more low end power and a little deeper engine noise. The bumper was easier to remove than I thought but its not for the faint at heart! I was really concerned when I first pulled on it but it came off just as this forum reported.

I want to thank all of the members that were a part of the DIY install. It was a GREAT HELP!: http://www.the370z.com/diy-section-d...de-ak370z.html

When I first did mine. Taking the front bumper off reminded me of taking the fairings off my sport bikes. Almost the samething.

Thank you. :tiphat: I want to make so that anyone else follow me and do the samethings. It's really not that hard for what I have done. Just a little pricy on some stuff. LOL I'm waiting on "phuck" and his fuel starving kit to get done. That will be my next project I think. :D

What's your take on the Uprev? I see you have it. Would this be a good addition now? Do you think I would see much difference without other performance upgrades like exhaust etc...?

hey DavidB, if you don't mind asking, what do you think is reasonable price for 2013 nismo with Bose and Rearview?

Yes, the silver monstrosity has been replaced with basic black and it blends in with the rest of the dash now.

:icon18: The steering wheel looks different too, no?

I got an increase of 23 RWHP with just tuning on top of what my mods got me. This plus the removal of the throttle delay really makes a difference in how the car feels when you drive it. Much more responsive now.

Is removing throttle delay a physical part or is this part of the computer tuning?

I think it's reasonable to pay under invoice on everything. I used New Cars, Used Cars, Car Reviews and Pricing - Edmunds.com and Haggle-Free Car Buying Experience from Local Dealers - TrueCar to get the dealers actual cost on everything. I negotiated with below invoice cutting into the hold back dollars which is what the dealer gets above and after the car sale. This is why dealer can sell below invoice because of this hidden profit.
