Hmm... i'll be doing more research on them. thanks though

 

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 like the half cover too. Just throwing some options out there for you

 

Thanks Chris. I appreciate it! I can't wait!!

 

Ive heard that those Axis pads throw off alot of dust. I havent had them just what Ive read. Ive heard the Hawks are good perfomance and low dust. Im still on my stocks so take this all for what you want. Just thought I would yell ya what Ive read.

 

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.

 

thanks gilley! I don't go to the track so the Deluxe is perfect for me.

 

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.

 

looks good socal g

 

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?

 

NRG strut is nice also, it will fit over the 5/16 spacer too

 

looks really good man! Im planning on doing the same except gold strut bar, emblem, oil cap and rad cap!

 

yeah I liked the NRG too I may go with that since I am getting NRG hood dampers so it would stick to the engine bay theme

What about the M3 side mirrors. What do people think???
