I have seen the Carbon Fiber wrap and thought about doing it. You will have to let me know how that comes out.

Rx8inSTL i tried wrapping the sides of the center console, and it looked good but started to bubble around a month in a half after i did it. But that was in the middle of the summer and i just used the carbon fiber stuff that could be found at autozone cause i was just bored and messin around. I would recommend trying to use some better quality wrap than that. lol


Cole you install your Alpine eX10? How do you like it? Im plannin on doin my setup in the G35 in the next couple of weeks with mine. I still have some measurements to set up for it.

Nate i agree its time to get drunk im headin down to the landing later on if you wanna join.

The Alpine works pretty good. You just have to find the best station. I feel like the battery dies on my iPod kinda quick, but idk if that is the Alpine, or just my iPod being shitty. Not too much static though. I need to hide the wires one of these days still.

Tell me about it; THMotorsports has just gone closeout on their Koni shocks. My install lineup for the spring looks like this now:

replace motor mounts
replace master clutch cylinder
install a SS clutch line
install front sway bar (and maybe later rear)
shocks (and maybe springs?)
replace brake, trans., & diff. fluids
get new tires

A CorkSport exhaust is mighty tempting...

I think I'm gonna hit the autocross season full swing again.
