The OP already has slotted aftermarket rotors. If he blacks out his calipers, that qualifies as good-enough, IMO.

Yep, exactly. I don't need BBK although if someone offered to give me their set for free I wouldn't say no

Very beautiful car man! Love the attention to detail!

I was planning on getting the Z1 MotorSports brake kit like you did, how is it holding up? How are the drilled rotors? Any issues?

Thanks! No issues with brakes after just over a year of daily driving (10,000 miles so far)

Those mirror signals are pretty cool looking, although I'm sure that wasn't cheap lol

can you post some close ups of the spoiler?

Here you go. The fitment on the camera hole and trunk button are not great but overall it's actually not too bad.

lol the cutout for the button is just terrible but the rest looks pretty good. That's the best looking spoiler i've seen for sedan tho.

Yep, exactly what I thought too. If you end up getting one, hopefully the cutouts are a little better lol.

Tinerking with some ideas for the new year, and I've come up with the following:


- Vibrant resonators for the midpipe
- Toe arms to replace my spring buckets
- Sway bars
- Drop-in filters
- Vinyl wrap the window trim
- Carsmo *****


Most of these will be small/minor mods! I think I got all my major mods out of the way already.

Nothing wrong with the minor mods, those little details tie everything together and the sway update will make a major difference

Sways aren't a minor mod, IMO. At least, you won't think so after they're on the car.

That's what I've heard. Just pulled the trigger on Hotchkis F&R sway bars, $352 shipped from Tire Rack which was cheapest I could find by far.


Next up are toe arms, drop-in filters, and Vibrant resonators. 75k mile maintenance is coming up so I figure I would get all of that done at the same time. Also debating on front strut tower brace.

Well executed mods, love the cleanliness! Platinum Graphite vs. Graphite Shadow...these look the same at least in pictures and I don't think I've seen one in person. Are they different or did Inifiniti decide to rename that color?

Anyway, inspiring build. I've always been a fan of subtle not-far-from-OEM and plan on keeping mine in the same arena.
