Haven't seen you in a dog's age! Calipers looks nice, can't wait to see them all stickered up and bolted back on. What wheels are they going behind?

Hey stranger! Nice colour on the 35th Anniversary wheels, pretty close to what I'd like to do to my sets (35th Anny & Track V.1).

Is your Z a base model? I don't think I could live without cruise with all the highway & interstate driving I do.

^^^unfortunately it is a base...no cruise for me.. which really sux since I have UPREV/Osiris. I cannot switch between maps. :tisk:

I dont daily the Z anymore.. Im rolling in a Nissan Titan these days.. :dblthumb:

The color is charcoal anthrcite with a clear coat on it. It really set the wheels off for sure..

I dont do highway driving man...I work 8 miles from my house.. If I drove alot - I would prolly drive the Z too - All back roads...HA!
