Sorry man, no trading yet.. Too new :-).
As for the paint, well this was all done at a bodyshop. This was the same color as the original factory paint - Arctic white pearl - Paint Code: QN0, I believe.
As for buying paint, try these two distributors:

Thanks. Anti-rice is good!
As to the poster that remarked about the TYPE-X spoiler. Its a nice one, but I think it sits a little too high for me. I like the low factory SE spoiler. Its all about personal taste. Someone didn't like the TRENZ grilles, but I admire that grille. Once its classy, though.

Thanks man. Well the Stillen kit was bought a few years ago when it was on sale for $779. It was sitting in storage for a few years. I refused to put it on until I got a drop and some rims. The rims and tires were exactly $2000. The audio and headunit including install was a few thousand. And then the body work, which I got a good price on. Keep in mind, everything wasn't done all at once, so it was a little easier on the wallet. I'm a network security engineer that works for a large financial firm. Most of the "play" money for this came from stock market gains. I wouldn't touch savings for stuff like this.

Thanks, but I like the Trenz Grille. The car is already tinted. Its a "legal" tint here in NYC, which still lets the cops see in. Any darker and I'm looking for a ticket.
Those are the CustomMaxima carbon fiber door sills. If you scroll back a little bit, you'll see that I posted a link for Chris as well, who had the same question.
As for the front leather seats, well I condition them everytime I detail the car. The outside edges are vinyl, but the inside section is leather.
Use a small whisk broom to really sweep out the seams. A lot of dirt and dust gets trapped in those seams. Once that's done, get some leather cleaner and a white terry cloth and clean the seat from top to bottom. Then condition it, until the leather won't take anymore conditioner. You can tell this when there is a slight "film" being left on the seat. That should help the leather stay supple for a long time.
If your seats are already hard, there are leather softening/rejuvenating products that you can buy. Do a search on google.com and you'll see some pop up.

Actually, I lost both of them a long time ago, after replacing the regular foglight bulbs with HIDs. I think Nissan wanted too much for them so I never bought them. I'll check again with them to see.

Exactly. Becuase of the dish, it looks a little smaller. Some people think they are 18s, but they're not 
. Up close though, they look like 19s.
