Finally took my own advice and upgraded my RSB with a NISMO 370z sway bar. Some modification of the brackets was required in order to elongate the holes for the clamp bolts; but was able to get it in once that was done. Needless to say, the handling is ridiculously better. All the top heavy slop has been tightened down and handling has improved drastically. Gained a lot of confidence when it comes to throwing it around bends and back roads.

Working on the tail lights and should have them on in next 24-48 hrs....pending a mess up.

Last night I changed my oil and installed a GReddy magnetic oil drain plug.

Installed some parts from Successfull Automotive today. Carbon splitter, mirror caps, and Bella trunk.

Those mirror caps are sick, especially on a white car

Question, how many hours went it fitment of the trunk, I have seen 3 bella trunks in person and they are never aligned properly or do not have exact OEM fitment.

I agree, thanks! I had the mirrors wrapped in black vinyl and these blow that look away! Wish there was a carbon roof optionslol.

Thanks, it's honestly the only spoiler I like on the sedan. So this trunk came off the owner of Successful Automotive's car so it was pre-painted. As for fitment all I did was make marks on the trunk hinges around the factory installed bolts and then lined up those marks when I installed the new trunk. What I don't know is if any work was done to help fitment when it was installed on the owners car originally. What I will say is the fit is good, I'd call the gaps a bit large, but they are perfectly even and it doesn't sit higher than the quarter panels like I have seen other carbon trunks. I'd say the fitment is 9/10.

Thank you! Other than the undersized wheels I love the look!

What's that signature on the trunk? No wait... zoomed in, and it's "Bella". Hence the Bella trunk reference. Doh!

That's a pretty huge expanse of negative space on that trunk face. Got any plans? Would the oversized Fuji look proper, in black perhaps to match the lip edge?

I love how you only have two dozen posts in 6 years, then slam those photos down.

Lol thanks man. I bought the car new for my wife to daily and then she wanted an SUV so I needed up taking it since I’ve always loved it. I joined way back when to get some info when we bought the car.

Yes it’s a lot of blank white space. I don’t hate the Bella logo but it is awfully feminine. I have a lot of Tommy Kaira parts inside so I almost thought about maybe a Tommy emblem. Honestly not sure would love some feedback.

They call it the Bella trunk made by successful automotive.

I actually like the Bella signature, but smaller, and not where it is.

Seriously, think about using the oversized Fuji. I think it's off the QX80 or one of the other SUV's. Imagine that centered, with a Bella decal under it. Or maybe a little Bella decal to the right under the light.
