Arrow UPDATE PART 2: Coilovers, Mid-Pipe, Reverse Overlays

Went to John's (Stanced370z) house on Saturday and had my BC Racing Type BR coilovers installed. John and Alex did an awesome install job they were very meticulous. We dialed in the height and dampening perfectly. All I can say is wow what a difference a drop makes, changes the look and feel of the car completely

Diego (VossenG37S) also came by and installed the Tanabe Mid-Pipe with a quickness! The addition of the mid pipe makes the exhaust sound so SICK. It has the same tone as the axle back but its deeper and wayyyyyy more aggressive sounding. Between the R2C intake and the Tanabe Mid-pipe + Axleback exhaust I cant stop stepping on the throttle just to hear how beautiful it sounds. We're going to record some vids so everyone can get an idea of how the setup sounds. *BTW I know in the pics there are only 2 bolts fastened, I snapped the pics before it was completely bolted down.

Also Alex installed tint overlays over the reverse lights and trunk release button. Small install but made a huge difference in my eyes! Gotta De-badge the "INFINITI" and "G37" off of the trunk now to clean up the excess chrome lol.



Big thanks to John, Diego, and Alex for the huge help!!!!!!
































Coming Up Next: Lol I know people are going to be like "WTF put the wheels on already!" I really wanted to get the wheels on the car this week end but it was just too much to get done in one day and I had to leave the tire mounting for this week. Lol its very difficult to organize and schedule things when the only full day off you have are Saturdays. So the next update will be with the SSR's mounted. Going back to John's on Saturday to re-dial in the height/dampening with the SSR's mounted
