Motul 600-very high temp brake fluid -about $60.

Hard Brakes titanium thermal isolating brake pad shims-about $100 per axle.

Regarding the custom side skirts: I finished the install yesterday. I have some photos that I will be uploading tomorrow. I think they are a nice compliment to the Stillen lip, I'm interested to get your reactions.

Those Sickspeed dress up bolts...is there a pre-selected kit? Or where did you get them? A google search didn't return 370z-specific parts.

I was wonderin' the same thing. Their website isn't real...uh...friendly.

Or maybe a list of what all you need?

Don't really know why I want them except to make the techs go 'ohhhh...'.
