More pics to come! Fully wrapped in KPMF Black/Red Iridescent and a set of WORK CR2P's that finally came in from Japan. That's the good news lol. Bad news is I found out yesterday that both my inner axle boots are torn. Keeping the driving down to a minimum until it gets replaced next week.

Appreciate it guys. Thanks!
What an awesome car! Definitely one of the best G's I've seen!
How are you liking the air lift performance kit? I know you wrote a quick summary page before but was a little confused when you said tire wear.
That pic was your aired out height but do you drive around at that height a lot? I'm assuming you also have "daily driving" height and have your alignment to that ride height.

UPDATE: Flew out to Singapore for my vacation until August. Actually typing this during my stopover in Frankfurt.
Car has been dropped off at Real Auto Dynamics for the install while I'm gone. Missing brackets for the 370z kit to G37 conversion have arrived as well as the Stillen oil and transmission cooler.
In regards to add ons and other supporting mods, I'll be upgrading the heat exchanger to the Frozenboost upgrade. On top of that I will be having A/F, Oil temp, and oil pressure gauges installed. Gauge pod setup will be a custom made 3 pod A pillar from Ortiz which actually won't arrive until a couple of weeks after I return from the trip. In the meantime, universal single pods will be drilled into my stock A-pillar for a temporary solution.
I will also be most likely switching out the stock Bosch BOV that comes with the kit for either a Turbosmart or TiAL BOV, which I will leave to Real Auto Dynamics to decide.
8lb pulley will be kept to avoid potential reliability issues. Switching over from Uprev to Ecutek since tuning via speed density on Ecutek tends to lead to more reliable end results as opposed to tuning via MAF on the Uprev software. Valve body will be upgraded at Level 10 Transmissions in New Jersey while I'm away. Hopefully the torque increase is not too substantial to warrant a torque converter upgrade, but fingers are crossed.

Also, look at the dates for comments you're quoting, and click on the member profile. If you had done that, you'd see the OP hasn't been online for over three years.
