So what's everyone going to get their car this year? I got a Cusco strut bar, fortune auto coilovers, front and rear SPC camber kit. Some from me and some from my girlfriend as a gift to me. Side note, I would have gone GT spec but their US supplier has dropped them and their parts are no longer available. But I got the Cusco bar for 144 shipped so why not.

If you want a noticeable difference in handling i would recommend getting hotchkis front & rear sway bars instead of a strut brace bar which makes almost no difference in the way the car feels and handles compared to a real handling modification like sway bars.
Strut brace bars are mainly for show.
Some people may say "i noticed tighter steering after install" those people would **** their pants if they felt the difference of upgraded sway bars.

I have an oem 370Z rear sway on mine, made a huge difference a long with the M brace. Best of all the oem sway was only 40 bucks with end links and bushings and brackets.
Recently purchased and installed an OEM rear deck spoiler a couple of days ago. Also have some Hotchkis front and rear sways being delivered tomorrow. They'll be installed shortly thereafter.
Looking for a good sale price on a non-sport front chin spoiler now.
Thanks to the good folks who post on this board I've saved a few hundred dollars.

Does $275.40 shipped for the non-sport front chin spoiler sound like a good sale price to you?

$40 is a good deal for a upgraded sway bar.
The Hotchkis F&R sway bars usually costs almost $400. I picked mine up used for $300. Very well worth the money and they are adjustable.
My birthday is in Janurary, so this time of year I tend to combine things like this. Anyone with a birthday in December or January knows exactly what I'm talking about.
Anyway:
2012 was the car itself.
2013 was a GT Spec FSTB and swaybars.
2014 was FI cats and Vossen CVT rims.
2015 was a FI catback
For 2016, I'll be purchasing 4.083 rear gears ring, pinion and bearings kit for a Spring 2016 install.
I'm tapped, as I've purchased the following over the last two months:
Cusco strut tower bar
Hotchkis sways
Ksport coilovers
Akebono BBK with Stoptech slotted rotors and SS brake lines
Miro 111 19x8.5 +35 wheels on Nexen N7000 245/40/19 all-seasons
B2Designs 15mm spacers (could have been avoided if I'd paid attention to the offsets when purchasing the wheels)
XB LED Projector fog lights - to be installed
Diode Dynamics tails as turn signal mod - on back-order
FI CBE - ETA mid-late January
My ride height on the coils is still stock, due to my wheels arriving a bit later than expected, and the shop that installed them "lost" the spanner wrenches that came with the kit... So, I will need to order new wrenches and do it myself. I'd hoped to go SC next year, but that will no longer be the case, as I have maintenance work planned for the house (door, windows, trees, etc...).
Question, should I go with an aftermarket intake, or stick with stock? If yes, any suggestions?

I just picked up a pair of used FI HFCs the other week and this weekend i got a good deal on a used FI cat-back exhaust with 18" resonators for my sedan
FI exhaust should be here by Friday the latest.
Looking to install the FI HFC & Cat-back exhaust this weekend. I can't wait!
I can't imagine having to wait 3 months for build time when ordering new. That would kill me

tell me about it... I typically share the highway with another G that has an amazing sounding exhaust! Every day that I see that car, it makes me ache at how long I will have to wait for mine!
