Got some post install pics. Trunk spoiler and Journey front lip are finally on. Install was fairly quick and easy. The most time consuming thing was just aligning the holes in the trunk to be drilled.

It's missing a couple of things. Mostly brackets and fuel pump but those should be relatively cheap to get

UPDATE: Got some extra exterior stuff done. Plastidipped grille is gone and now done in gloss black vinyl wrap to match the rest of the gloss black trim I did. Autokits rear diffuser in carbon fiber just got to my door this morning and is getting put on as I type this
The supercharger will be getting installed at Real Auto Dynamics in New York while I'm on vacation for the summer. Since the original kit was from a 370z, I needed new brackets and a new fuel pump to make it work. Will be getting a stillen oil and tranny cooler as well as an upgraded valve body from Level 10 Transmission in New Jersey. At the moment, I'm debating if I should upgrade the blow off valve on the stillen kit.

running a conservative tune so hopefully the torque gains won't be crazy enough to get a torque converter upgrade. Will see once I come back in August and pick up the car.

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.
