Late response here. The rotors are still looking good, no ring of rust like the OEMs had.
I realized today I'm collecting quote the pile of parts. I dug out the roof spoiler, just got the m370, have a set of anniversary "winkers" and the ARC combo can all waiting to be installed. Hope it warms up soon.
And bought new seats, power folding mirrors, a second set of mirrors and.... I'm not sure

Just saw them. Looking great. The only "bad" thing about mine are that the guy who painted them only had the akebono logo for the front brakes, so the little ones are just pink lol. But can't complain at all for the price that he got it done for.

Thank you sir, much appreciated.
I wonder if you could put the rear stickers on and then clear coat them while on the car? Seems like,it would be "easy" enough but I generally find one things leads to another so maybe not... Looking at your pics though they look great, no need to change or adjust them IMO, they pop nicely.

So far so good. Definitely a difference from the OEM thickness. The leather is definitely a different quality as well, much more supple. So far so good, I like it. Sort of glad I didn't go full CF at least so far.
The black leather steering wheel in my old Maxima was perfect, IMO. Size, width, the feel and padding of the leather. I miss it. For me, that has always been one of those things I felt was a compromise moving into the G. But with my stone interior, I don't think I've many (or any) options for modification.

Most of the wheels I see do seem to be black you're right. I would imagine if you go with a custom job they'll do any color you would like. I'm fairly certain I've seen a light tan CF on CFE's site. I imagine it would be possible to have a wheel redone in a stone leather if you wanted to as well. I picked up a second wheel for a little over $100 to do this swap, saw some for $80 which I would have done if it was a project wheel. What the work itself would cost is probably the larger question.

Thank you Brad, much appreciated! It is a little different driving for sure, hoping it will be an easy transition.
It's coming together slowly, hoping to get the seats in by the end of March but I decided not to recover them for now. Not certain about the mirrors yet, I'm hoping to get the rest of the parts while I'm on vacation.

I picked up a set of S seats a couple weeks ago. I'm on the fence as to whether to have them recovered or just install them. Part of me wants to but they don't need it and I really don't need to spend the money on them. Plenty will be spent trying to get the mirrors installed and seeing if I can figure out how to get the camera to work.

motordyne m370 installed, ARC combo can and braided lines, swapped out the air filters for the black ones I got from Kirk. Reinstalled the modded JDM tails but I'll have to find those pics.

I'm tying to get the pics and vid of the tails uploaded but am having some issues on the hotel wireless. May need to wait until I get back to the states.
