I just want to see that car shine man, sorry to hate, but it's SOOO close to being a beauty, all you have to do is fix the fitment and it's on my fav 5th list. Think of it as negative reinforcemen

I FEEL U positive criticism...but im am in the process of goin bak to the 03 bumper and stillen lip
and oem headlights

The hole on the headlight bracket were u put the bolts thru maybe off, I would cut/grind out the hole a little bigger on the right side of the hole. So you could move the headlight in more

Hellz yeah, 5th gen bumper and stillen lip FTW

If I had the stock 5th gen grill I would have kept it too, but I had no choice, and damn that bulgy and flashy SS grill! No offence Nexus

^ Don't dothis, it's not your problem, your problem is a LOT more than just being out a little on a bolt hole.

Did you replace the ENTIRE rad support? Like the upper, lower and everything? Or did you just replac the lower portion?

If you replace the whole thing, then you installed it incorrecly, or possibly there issomething jammed in between the mounting location on the Left side. I would recommed you pull it all apart and inspect it, the problem should be pretty obvious once you take it apart. You probably rushed it puting it back together and didn't notice something was wrong.

Besides, it only takes about 1/2 hour to pop the bumper off, maybe less becaus you've done it before.

Hey no offense taken lol. I painted the grille black awhile back (pics in album), it doesn't stand out nearly as much (hell, it almost looks like it isn't there in some of the pics)

I'm w/ you on that. I was ready to pull the trigger on a 5.5 front but then yours and Tuner's words jumped into my head lol.

I got in an accident last October and some of the chassis was bent up by the headlight. I bent it back into shape as best I could but it stopped the headlight bulge I had. I would take both lights off and compare the two sides (to find any inconsistencies on the driver's side vs. the passenger side)

I saw OP's car yesterday and have to say it looks great on the road. It's really an eye catcher in black. Him being very low makes it look even better. As much you guys want to rant, it takes a lot of work to pull this look off. I bet his cv axles hate him right now. We need some dam adjustable control arms.

The output on the ebay reflectors is a lot better than on the ebay projectors. But his car def makes them work. Those being modeled after the 5.5 lights I think would look better, but I agree w/ you his current setup still works.

what do you mean by the 10 350'z? but something like 9 or 9.5 will be nice in the front and the rears 10 wide with a +25

you dont have an option on what offset to get for the '10 '350z' (370z) wheels...the offsets are what they are....but to make those 370z wheels look proper, you HAVE to be lower than eibachs..no way around it. just learn to drive slower and dodge potholes.
