Thanks fellas... not much happening but I did pick this up from @dell_locs today ^_^
Authentic Kazz no damage
Super easy install took about 15 minutes. Take off the top 4 locks and 1 nut, push out the lower outer small tabs, then the side tabs, pull the lower part of the grill out, push the upper grill in towards the engine... pull the grill up and out from behind the chrome molding. Reverse with the new and you are good.
Gonna roll without the emblem for awhile toying with the idea of black pearl emblems.
Also replaced the ORIGINAL water pump at 168k miles! It didn't fail I simply replaced it as preventative and kept it for backup if needed for a quick fix. Also had the spark plugs regapped to oem specs, cleaned out the throttle body, and switched to full synthetic.

Thanks brotha - not much going on lately but still looking around. Finally put my front emblem on tonight and got my plates last week. Picking up a front lip from a member on Saturday. Un-installed the Tom's linear throttle control system cause it made me want to drive my car harder that I normally would lol. It's a cool lil gadget... I just couldn't stop using SP2 and SP3 and it'll end up getting me a ticket. I like to cruise and sometimes get on it so I'm gonna put it up for sale or trade for some parts. I even tried a couple days on Eco setting to see if it would help with gas... but every time I had a red light I'd keep moving it to SP2 or SP3 for the grins.
Wheels were sold last week to a G35 owner in Sunnyvale so I'll be on stocks for a lil while.
Added the GFX front lip today
