Thanks!

What aren't Koni yellows good to pair with? How's the ride now? Are they stiff at all or is there too much float?

That is my opinion but I just wanted to be sure.
Koni Sport shocks 2003 2008 Set of 4, Free shipping 758.10
shox.com is the best I have found so far, anyone know of a better price?

The Z feels faster, more stable and the 6mt & rwd make it easier to drive fast.

^^ I've driven both in 6MT form.
350Z feels faster.
And, turn off the traction control and go 3/4 WOT on 90 degrees turn,

I did keep it, did not have time or interest in parting it, kept a few items & sold it to a member here.

Wow, didn't take long for the mods to start pouring in, huh? Very nice! So I'm assuming the 4.08 gears are going to completely transform it into a 1/4 mile beast? How does it affect highway driving? Is it your daily driver?

It reduces the top end from the cutoff at 159 where I'd never go to about 140 based on my research.
Stock is 3.538, the guy doing it that has it in his car said mileage is only degraded if you are on it alot just like stock but it transforms off the line performance which is what I really want.
Yes it is my new daily.

Thanks guys, appreciate it. I really love the color too & I also am not a fan of the 370's headlights/taillights & third brake light.
Although not having the rear strut bar take up the bulk of the hatch would be nice. I had to use the CR-V to take the VLSD in to be geared.
Speaking of the VLSD I just got back from dropping it off, Tuesday or Wednesday it goes in.
The owner of the shop said it is like an 80hp increase!!!!!
He said identical cars lined up, the one with the gears will have three car lengths in the 1/4mi!
I am surprised as well.

Wow. You waste no time on modding!
As for your CLS...since we are to make up our own story. I heard you slid on a banana peel and went off a cliff, O'doyle style. It's a wonder you walked away without a scratch.
On a serious note. I LOVE it. If you hate the front opening have you though of having it painted to match? It would be less obvious and look less like someone cut a hole in the bumper and slapped it in. Just an idea.
Everything else is PIMP, color, performance, wheels, drop. It's all good. Congrats on the upgrade! RWD is my next move, one day.

The "cover" on teh hole is carbon fiber. When I went to teh body shop to get my things I asked what it would cost to paint it.
They said CF is not fun to paint and that they would need to drill the pop rivets out which can be problematic.

Rear Image Dynamics are in!
Why did they put this stupid thing between the grill & speaker?
You can't see in the picture but it is covered in dust, can't be acoustically neutral

This box came also, it goes behind the driver's seat in the dead space back there.
116 now.

Woofer and power/remote control wires for the 4 channel amp that will run the other speakers are in.
It was literally 117-123 in my garage the entire four plus hours it took. I have honestly never been so hot for so long EVER!
Quick video, warning it is loud. Although bass free, G9 is not made to record audio fidelity.

Congrats on the sub install! That sucker is loud.
Is the Alpine MRP-500 enough for the W3? I had one powering a 12" Alpine Type-R and sometimes I felt like it wasn't enough.
