Thanks Wayne and Johnny.
Yeah Wayne, you've guessed correctly on the plenum.
I have the upper and lower plenum off my cousin's 350z sitting in the carport waiting to be either painted or powdercoated (probably just go with paint, powdercoat money could be better spent elsewhere)
I figure by painting a spare, then swapping them, I won't have to deal with downtime.
I have the same plan on the headlights (which I hope to get done soon) I already have an extra pair of ratty ones, just to keep me legal while I retrofit/paint/restore and seal mine. But I may be going to a show in October, and I don't want to have on ugly lights for the show.

Jorge, I really don't think the red taillights upset the balance too much. I really like how it flows on Chris' car... granted he has the nice big brakes with red calipers... maybe one day 
The only way I would tint, is if I did my taillights OCG35 style, and the only way I would do them like his is fully shaved, not just masked and painted. Don't think that's entirely off the table though... just nowhere in the near future.
Nate:
Shaddup! There is no other side!!! It is a MYTH!!!

Well, I got the calipers painted and rotors and pads installed on Sunday, the 19th. I just haven't got around to taking a good pic.
In other news:
I thought my car was about to go on me last night...
I was going to pick someone up, and left it idling for about 10-15 mins, just before I went to get back in the car and leave, it started a very noticeable, metallic tap... sounded exactly like a lifer
Of course, I start jumping to conclusions and assuming the worst.
Turns out the A/C belt had started to fray and one of the metal cords in the belt was tapping the aluminum undershield. Once that spline of the belt completely gave up, the sound went away
So I have a new belt to put on over the weekend... and a few more gray hairs
