Guard Dad +rep for ingenuity! Ill be looking for DIY! Did you weigh them before installing? I assume they can't weigh more than four or five lbs each.

I didn't weigh them but that sounds about right. The stuff is fairly dense so I made a real effort to remove it where it wasn't needed.

Everyone knows that stickers give you more power

Be careful with that switch. Although it will bolt right on and work for the most part, it is a RHD part. Your turn signal stalk and multifunction switches will be reversed. Just be aware of that.

I've contemplated buying the JDM switch. I know it would reverse things but once I got used to it again it wouldn't matter because nobody drives my car other than me

Weather tech makes great all weather floor mats that are digitally cut to match the car for anybody who would like to protect the floor of their Z and they match the interior great. Only $99.00

I mentioned in another post discussing the JDM Reverse Fog. I recommend trying to source the Canadian-spec version. Some of the Canadian spec 370Z's came with the Reverse Fog from Nissan and were LHD. This would be a more ideal setup.

...Dunno why the Canadians got all the cool parts and we didn't. Their NISMO Edition 370Z's come with the NAV too!

So do you think there will be any issue with this on the 2012 with the oil cooler? I can't tell from the pics if it would interfere in anyway.

I've e-mailed ZSpeed, but thought I'd ask on here, too.
