No stickers on the calipers! I forbid it!
If you get the engine cover, I would leave it badgless since its a half cover. Sometimes less is more.
I had no idea on the radiator cap. I just picked one up from another member...damn, ill have to research that before putting it on.
Good list you got there. Yeah, you got that bug something fierce! I love it
Edit: +1 on painting the center of your OEM engine cover. I've done it and will be doing it again (better finish this time) this weekend. At least give it a try...you may wind up liking it more than you think and will save you some $$$

ok ok... the Papa has spoken and i've gotten numerous no no's on the caliper stickers lol. I'll just paint them and thats it
Engine cover badge was just an idea. Doubt I'll do it. I want something plain and clean so leaving it badgeless is probably the way I should go
Thanks! Trust me, the mod bug hit me so hard as soon as I got the car. I wanted to do a lot of research and make the purchase once instead of just getting random things and not knowing much about it. Chris, you have been a huge insperation to me to go crazy on this car so I must thank you. I'm have so much fun doing it!!
I wasn't going to paint the OEM engine cover. I was going to paint the 350z cover to match my paint. But I have thought about painting the OEM to save on cost. But I said, O well, might as well go with the 350z cover while I'm spending lol

I appreciate it man. I know the Axxis give off a little more dust. I am ok with that being that they will give off somewhat less than the OEM pads. I thought about Hawk HPS but found out they have very bad intital bite in the cold. Since I am from NJ and it gets pretty cold here in the winter months, I wouldn't want to risk it so I decided for a little safer pad that creates a little more dust than the Hawk's. Thanks for your input though

The Axxis Ultimate pads give off a lot of dust but they work really well. They are very grippy.
The Axxis Deluxe pads don't give off much dust - less than the OEM pads - and still work well and feel like the OEM pad.
I have used both. I would recommend the Ultimates for track use and the Deluxe for street use.

Here is an idea for the engine cover, plenum, strut bar setup. My crawford plenum came powdercoated black so I painted my richie bar and engine cover gloss black to match and show off the plenum. If you ignore the dust and dirtiness you can apprecaite how it looks lol
oh btw, I also nylon sleeved my grounding wires (they were silver) to match better with the black theme.

What does everyone thing of those M3 sideview mirrors with the turning signals? These... http://www.jiggies.com/infiniti-powe...ncid=3&sv=7587
You think they are too ricey?
Also, which would be a better strut bar.. the Richie V2 or the Stillen?
