You're telling me Brad. My bank acct has taken a serious hit these past 2 weeks but I love all the time! And made some money back by selling the original mods that I switched out so it's not to bad I guess. Lol

However, Infiniti sport seats are excellent, aren't they? When I first got my car, I thought they were confining and stiff. Sure didn't take long at all for me to appreciate them.

I got the neck pillows for looks but when stuck in rush hour traffic it's nice to lay my neck back against them believe it or not. As for the sport seats I am absolutely in LOVE with them! Best interior investment without a doubt.

I do believe you, Kenny. I also bought them for the same reasons. But after reading how they compromise the seat design in an accident, I ditched them immediately.

Just don't ever get rear-ended, and you'll be fine.

As for plate bolts, buy a $5 set of fender bolts. They'll look great.
Just ordered it Roch thanks for the input! I probably would've never noticed it but you were absolutely right.

g'luck with that. I'm assuming from the design that the bolt flanges are *behind* the plate.

So for bolts... I would go with clean, black or gunmetal fender washers, without any screen printed logo, to match the car. Alternatively, gold fender washers to compliment the NJ colors on the tag. Like these:

Blox Racing® BXAC-00310-S-GD - Gold Fender Washers Kit, Small Diameter

Obviously, only the two top bolts hold the plate to the car, so the bottom two bolts would be there simply to secure the frame to the plate, but you also need them for continuity. Pick up a couple of nyloc nuts at the hardware store, for the backside. And if the bottom bolts are too long, you can hacksaw the length so they don't dig into the bumper.

Once you start experimenting with how the tag looks with different frames and bolts, pick up another one in black... since they're so inexpensive. You might like black better.

That gives me one month to practice up on how to drive an automatic.

Only thing I hate about the car. Wife doesn't know how to and refuses to learn to drive a stick. She didn't have a car at the time so I bought this car in a 7at assuming she's be using it as well but she got her a new car 9months after of me owning mine ... 1st world problems lol

I actually don't mind seeing the original white lol I actually think it has its own badazz touch to it... that and I was to cheap to pay the extra money (over priced imo) to wrap it all.

Coming soon...

Minor nick nacks under the hood!

So my battery officially hit the pooper tonight while me and Ed (Q.Gsxr) were figuring out why my BlackVue dash cams weren't working. Long story short (very long Ed knows what I'm talking about lol) $300+ later for battery, tools and jumper cables and I finally pulled the trigger on a last sc decision that I've been contemplating on getting for the past 6months or so.

Quick question Kenny... why the yellow and not the red? Are you running a bunch of aux equipment? I have the yellow in my truck but thought the red top would be better in the G.
