Carlos Chacon > So, back to my first mod: as I was telling you all, my car is an '06 in the body of an '05 :-) It can be a little bit frustrating, but there are three things you need to get rid of, to get this wrong right: tail lights, xenon lights and wheels... easy, right? If you have the cash, sure it is. 

The cheapest of the three and the one I started with was the tail light conversion from the plain red version (upper) to the led version... but not being satisfied with the red led version I decided to go JDM and get the clear version: an excellent decision even if I have to say it myself! It makes a world of a difference on the looks of the car, and the leds are extremely long lived. Sourced from Courtesy Parts in Texas ( http://www.courtesyparts.com/350z/exterior.html), not the cheapest guys around, but great service and most of the stuff is on stock.

Now, to the next add-on...

I will post a shot of it soon, but this was a simple thing, a carbon fiber cover for the center lower lip of the bumper...  a great look that should be simpler to install!  I mean, you might be thinking: "How hard could it be to remove a double-sided tape and put the cover where it needs to go?"... the answer is, it is plenty difficult to get it *right*!  The cover is cut to measure, but it requires some force to get bend into place, and that is where you might loose the right spot... I kind of got it right after a while :)
