I saw two of the "bolts" on each side have nuts on them making me think they are studs.
They are studs. The cats and headers do not have threads on them.

Just out of curiosity, I want to get an HID kit for my fogs - Morimoto to be exact. Do you fellas know if I need the relay harness for it, or can I just hook it up (with or without a CANBUS adapter)?

I'm pretty sure you won't need a CANBUS adapter. I don't have one on my DiodeDynamics kit, and I haven't seen any error codes yet.

Was it just plug and play for you? No relay required?

I bought the same kit from Diode Dynamics for my sedan, it is plug and play, however the kit comes with two bare metal prongs that you are supposed to stick into the factory factory fog light plug. I didn't like the idea of those bare metal prongs being exposed to all the elements, so I decided I would solder a H8 bulb connector to the metal prongs, and then plug in the H8 bulb connector into the factory harness. Not sure if that makes any sense without pictures

I also did not use a relay at all, and there were no issues with it at all. Since then I've decided to go with LED fogs that Diode has for sale, they just replace the stock halogen bulbs, no conversion necessary.

Thanks for the info Drive Clean. I'll source an OE Infiniti connector if my Morimoto kit has the same two-pronged wiring method.

What is the light output like with the LED fog bulbs? Do you have any pictures of the LEDs installed and illuminated?

Is there any particular online dealer that sells accessories for good prices? My local dealership wants $180 for all-season floor mats. I see them for ~$125 online, just wondering if there's anyone closer to the ~$100 mark.

Just saying if you are going to customize your headlights and swap the lenses to clear STI-R lenses and also swap in the Osram CBIs (5k) don't go with any 6k fog crap... get the Morimoto 3Fives 5k as well so it matches the headlight output color temperature

That's odd... all three of my local dealerships here in the Northern Virginia area all sell the mats for $125. Haven't seen them any lower than that.
