Going shopping...shift knob, rear uppers, tires, paint and window moulding.

It's time to finish my Z and shopping has commenced. Thank you Advanta card services. I will charge my parts and sell my current ride when the Z is finished to help pay for all of this. Money for arguments sake is no issue. Nothing ridiculously expensive, just want nice, quality equipment.

First is shift knob. Blue interior. Does anyone have the Nismo rubber or resin ball knobs? Pics? Feedback? Other brands and pics? I know it's silly but I want to retain my lifelong happiness with what I put my hand around.

Next, adjustable rear upper arms are $125 at Courtesy Nissan, anybody have them or feedback on them?

Tires. I'm going to be running 18x8.5 350Z track rims all around. What size should I run? I want summer performance / summer extreme / nice handling / looking tires. Looking at the Nitto NT05 but not sure if the sizes are in my territory. Anyways for those that have an eye look at the pic below and tell me if a 245/40-18 would look similar. Looks last, performance first, cost....credit.

Next is window moulding, the front window mouldings are shot, quarters are good. Cheapest and best place to buy? Kuruma?

Paint. Long subject. If you have anything positive or negative to add lets hear it!
