Thanks for the help, assuming it won't fit ours if it's for a Z? Is there one available for a G35?

Couple of updates if anyone's interested...

A bit more work on the engine bay, both battery covers painted, right side smoothed flat as well. RareJDM loom cover fitted too.

I bought and fitted an injen intake kit, although I've put the factory airbox back on now as there's a big warning sticker on the injen kit saying not to use it when it rains. It rains here unpredictably so I'm not going to risk hydro locking my engine for the sake of a bit of shiny pipe.

I got the GTR wheels on, although these will be changed again soon for a set of Leon Hardiritt Orden in 19x9 et6 and 19x10 et-6 with stepped lip. The GTR wheels will be sold and I'll be keeping the Stance SC-5 for winter wheels.

She has 350z Brembos and braided lines all round now too, very easy job, all you need is to trim the rear dust shields and get bolts for the rear calipers, the front bolts from the poverty spec calipers can be used.

And interior switch panels and grab handles painted white.

Yeah it's vinyl wrapped again. The white wrap was looking a bit tired and I wanted to do something a bit different.
I just used degreaser and quick detailer to do the bay itself and then wd40 and metal polish for the metal parts, and autoglym vinyl and rubber care spray for all the plastics and hoses.

How come your exhaust tips stick out so much?

That's just the way they are, it's a full invidia syatem and the tips bolt on, if I push them in any further it would look very odd from behind, and I'm not sure I want to cut the pipes down - although thinking about it I might do it, as now you've both kindly pointed it out it does look like they stick out too much haha

So these arrived, full refurb before fitting but did a quick test fit, fronts need spacers which I've currently lent to a friend... Needs more lows and adjustable camber arms fitting.

Your car is the same color as your roof.

Interesting observation, the car's windows are the same colour as the house windows too. Mad.

Lowered it another inch or so, ride quality seems the same which is sweet, and it still clears speed humps. Did the springmount mod to get the rear down more, may need shorter springs though, and fitted adjustable camber arms.
Also got pics back on the wheel refurb, looking good. The faces are a candy bronze and the inner barrels have been done gloss black.
