Why the 350z engine cover?? I dont like the look of the exposed plenum. I think if you paint the inside part of your OEM one it will look much better, or paint the whole thing body color. other than that nice list

thanks man. I just like the look of the z cover with the strut bar over it with the plenum showing. I'll polish and clean up the plenum as much as I can. To each is own right? lol I am still debating on the cover though. It's one of the last things I would get

What made you decide on the HKS Rear section rather than a full cat-back exhaust?

I wouldn't paint the stock calipers anything but black to hide them (they are nothing to highlight), apply Infiniti stickers to them (same reason), or mix 350GT badging with Infiniti and G35 door sills (mixed identity).

Get the R1concepts rotors to save some money for practically the same rotors.

well I was thinking both about the stillen gen 2 and the borla and really considered both of them for a while. However, I already have a coupe middy that I put on not too long ago and have done a lot of reaserch and seen that the coupe middy and HKS is the exact sound I am looking for. Nothing crazy but unleashing the VQ sound. Sure, someday I would love to go with a full catback, but for now, the HKS rear section is perfect for me.

I understand what you're saying. I just wanted to give it a different look to get people to actually look at the new drilled rotor setup and red I've seen looks great. The caliper stickers were just a random find that I thought about for a little, not definate about it. Same with the rest of the logos and such. Just thought I would mix it up a little.

How much could I get a set for? Riverside infitini quoted me a great price for pads and stochtech rotors.

No no on the Nismo Radiator cap! If it is rated at a higher pressure than the stock one, it will ruin your radiator! I know because I did it. My radiator failed at 90K miles. Leaked like a seive. Turned out that the cap was rated at a higher pressure than the stock on. That would be alright if I didn't have the stock radiator! My BAD!
