I dunno, i still haven't driven it lol. Lazy weekend.
I have to go out in a few hours so then I will find out finally.
EDIT: Finally drove it. there is a difference. mainly lower speed, hard cornering. I went around a roundabout at speed and I was surprised by how that felt.
It's centered right over the infiniti logo, but maybe I was just at a slight angle when taking the pic. Where do you see damage? I didn't notice anything.
Tell me not the before and after, the steering became a light lighter when going at lower speeds and handling round about exits or entrances to a highway or freeway.
My car is lowered, nothing too extreme. The TBW tray I have has completely sheared in half right below the sway bar. The thinness of the metal doesn’t provide any real protection but a semblance of one as it instills some peace of mind. They should create a thicker one that can provide some real protection.
I was slammed two months ago, I hit the oil filter door about 20+ times, and had it rebent and reformed, it saves everything else. It really does.
I'm now about .7 of an inch higher but still low. I don't scrape or hit the tray at all.
Installed the ZSPEC Ultimate Engine Dress-Up Engine Bay Fastener Kit.
I had wanted to get a fastener kit for a while, but in my limited searching online, the pricing was upwards of $200. I wasn't going to spend that much for engine bay bolts. When I saw that the price on the ZSPEC kits is $100 and shipping is free, I decided to pull the trigger.
ZSPEC was awesome to deal with every step of the way. Within 30 minutes of ordering, I had a tracking number. They shipped it USPS Priority Mail and I had the kit in my hands two days later.
ZSPEC has a ton of colors to choose from - including Neo-Chrome. I went with emerald green because JDM, yo. Also, red or blue parts are so common and I'm not into purple or orange. YMMV. Anyway, here's what you get with the 370Z/G37 kit:
Installation was a breeze - the only thing to be careful about is not dropping hardware deep into the intricacies of your engine bay. Use extra caution when working above your belts and pulleys - it would be hard to retrive something if it got wedged deep in there.
OEM hood latch. ZSPEC recommends you use Loctite on the replacement bolts. I did.
Out with the old...and gummed up. Here are all the OEM bolts that got replaced.
Here is my bounty of leftover parts. For now, I've opted not to install the throttle body hardware nor the hardware for the timing chain covers on the engine block. I'll save that for another day. Even still, there are plenty of leftover bolts and washers. The options are endless.
Parting shots.
Props to ZSPEC for putting together such a generous kit at such a reasonable price. I'm quite happy with my purchase. Big thumbs up on this.
When i bought these Rays 2+ years ago i knew i was going to have to refinish them but they were so cheap i couldn't pass up the deal. Not too long after picking up the wheels, i grabbed some plasti dip as i pass Dipyourcar.com all the time. I think painting is the way to go but already had the plasti dip so went with it. I'm happy with the way they came out but it did take a while. In hindsight, i should have paid a little more for wheels in better shape.
