Cool. And there's the nature of your surprise reveal... something else.

Looking forward to seeing your build thread bumped with awesomeness.

I hope it doesn't get too cold in Philadelphia. An all metal shift **** in the cold of winter NEVER seems to warm up. I love what the car came with.

That's a fair concern. It's why I have a summer **** and a winter ****.

The summer **** is Titanium, and the winter **** is made out of Copolymer.

Those look pretty stunning, though. The paintwork is really nice. I'd love to have one of those bright colored ones to look at, but I wouldn't actually want it on my shifter, since it wouldn't go with my interior.

I hear you - red would have matched the GT-R push to start i guess...but not anything else.

There are already several DIY articles for grounding kits in the DIY Section

John got tired of rubbing his **** to all winter long to warm it up.

This made me laugh a little too loud and my wife asked me "what's so funny". I told her a guy on the g37 forum has a winter and summer ****.

I guess I have the "all season" ****, also known as OEM.

Thanks for the chuckle!

Oh hey, I make no apologies for being over the top on this. The Titanium **** is positively brutal cold when temps get below freezing. The first year, I used to keep a right-hand glove in the car, just because of it. So the second year I bought the same design, but in Copolymer. It simply doesn't get hot or cold (to the touch.) It's strange.

Here's another picture of the Titanium **** with the Redline boot. Absolutely love this configuration.

Im on my second pair of S-04s and couldnt be happier about the performance, super sticky, handles amazing in rain and ride well. Only thing is if you don't baby your car they go fast

I got better tread life out of the PSS than the S04 by about 3000 miles, which pretty much negates the price difference.

I thought the S04s were quieter and had sharper steering, but the PSS had better wet/dry grip.

Does anyone have the topspeed pro 1 catback with FI rhfc? Any info on this combo would be great. I was waiting on getting a FI catback but I keep seeing good things with topspeed as well. Having it priced 1k less than FI with no wait is a huge plus as well.

I stopped by the local Infiniti dealer to see what their price would be on a midnight grill and it was $576.01. Holy hell. I'll be getting one in the next few weeks but i'll be ordering it from somone online....
