Yea thats right, JDM conversion started tonight. JDM OEM smoked amber front reflectors (stock in Japan and Australia) went in tonight and boy are they pretty.... From any given standpoint they almost appear to be vent cutouts in the bumper until light hits them then boom, a pretty dark amber flash hits you back.

The new reflector is very noticable, you can definatly tell something is different there. Whats next?

Next JDM part will be sidemarkers if i can find the ***** to cut thru my fenders for install.

Next parts in general to be added are going to be OEM style Carbon Fiber trunk lip spoiler, Carbon Fiber front under-splitter, and carbon fiber or painted rear wheel canards (see the axis wheels demo 350z if you dont know what im talking about) All 3 parts will be both function in aerodynamics, and also keeping weight down compared to fiberglass or urethane parts. Carbon Fiber spoiler is light enough to use the stock air struts, where the real OEM spoiler requires replacing the air struts thats how much of a weight difference from OEM and c/f aftermarket ones. The lip spoiler also functions to make a non-track model Z have a zero-lift design over the rear wheels. The vehicle already has a zero lift design in front. The front under splitter is function, but will mostly just be for image to match the spoiler and to take front end scrapes and save my bumper in those unfortunate cases.... And the canards also function to add downforce to the rear axle at high speeds while also adding a nice touch to the lines of the car.

Other than that, tints will go on as soon as we get some warmer weather (35% mirrored all around except front windshield.) and i may upgrade to a better LCD screen for my custom video system install. (currently a 5.6" TFT with a DVD/VCD/MP3 player)

Actual performance parts will most likely be an S-AFCII once i locate a harness for the 350Z. And depending on price and warranty issues there might be a Nismo turbo kit on my checklist of things to do.

would you want the JDM steering wheel, it was on e-bay. I think the only difference is that there is no control...........just wanted to let you know.......

The JDM steering wheel and USDM steering wheel are the same. The wheel on ebay right now is like the base model with no features in it. the only other real difference from JDM and USDM wheel is that the crusie controls are on the left peg and the USDM cruise controls are on the right peg.

What i want to get is the JDM FairladyZ MOMO steering wheel, its a bit more aggressive and even smaller diameter than the stock one (as if the stock one wasnt small enough already) But I jsut cant justify spending nearly 800 bucks before shipping for a steering wheel.....
