My mailorder Bride came in... ***NO 56k***

My interior is finally done... I think. Forgot to take a pic of the F&F quick release steering wheel. Yes, I'm a ricer @ heart. LOL

Okay guys, here is my new interior pics...

Wow, stunning. Very nice work! It looks like it was made that way from the factory because of how well everything matches.

DAMN!! is it tricky getting in and out of those seats?

My fat American ass would have a hard time falling into that car without breaking the bolsters of the seats!

I'm about a 33" waist, anything bigger then 34" would be very uncomfortable. I cruised with the seats yesterday for over an hour, felt great! It's kinda a bitch getting out due to the high bolsters, but nothing unmanagable.

Thanks. It can be a DD, but as with any MT, kinda a bitch in traffic. As far as winters go, get a nice set of blizzaks and you'll be fine (just dont get the base model with no traction).

Thanks, the shift knob is by NISMO in CF. I did all the installs except for the door panels (which is probably what you were asking about), which was done by showtime audio in Chicago.

done for now... might upgrade the sounds.. but keeping the HU because the wiring makes it impossible to switch HU's and maintain the voice for the navigation (which I don't want to lose).

Thanks, it's kinda the "bride thing" to have the logo repeated on their seats. I did however get the darker logo, it's very unnoticable and subtle. It looks more apparent in the pics because I purposely overexposed the shots (some more then others) so you can see the logo.

you fraudulent bastard!!!!!

Although, in all honesty did know a kid in college who installed a fake clutch pedal. he also had one of those CAI interfoolers too. so he linked this fake clutch pedal to a little speaker that made the "whoosh" sound of a BOV everytime he hit it...all this in and old ass chevy blazer...

lol...yeah I had to give it to him for all the wiring he did..i'm no electrician so it all looked very intimidating...btw, how's the clarity of the xenons with the updated headlights? You've had some time to get used to them now...do the larger projectors provide better clarity?

Very nice pics. Glad to see nothing happened over the mail with FedEx this time! That is indeed a astounding lookin' Z. Do you or you should track it? I'm sure it would give you lots of good sensations!
