MoonFace, I hear, are good replacements for the fronts...

For those of you that upgraded their sway bars, what end links did you upgrade too? My oem end links went bad a week after installing my hotchkis and made such an annoying sound when going over small bumps below 25mph. Please let me know what you guys used. Saw some MOOG brand but looked similar to stock and don't know if it will actually hold up. Thanks

like others have said, MOOG would be a good replacement over OEM. If you're lowered or plan on lowering your ride, it might be good to get adjustable endlinks. I haven't installed my Eibach sway yet, but when I do, I'll be using Whiteline adjustable end links....will also lower my car at that time as well.

I thought MoonFace, since they are very adjustable might work, but I can't get any concrete confirmation. And I believe SPL is out too. Don't know what's left.

Just like the new Maxima 4DSC **** customized for the 7AT G37, the GTR **** as a component unto itself looks gorgeous. Just something not quite right when retrofitted to the G. I think it would look better (to me), if the leather boot were flush with the bottom of the ****.
And since opinions are like cottonwood seeds, I'll share this one too: I'm not digging the wide stitching pattern on the boot. It seems overly fat and unnecessary. But obviously you selected that pattern on purpose. Are you happy with it?

I was actually considering the 4DSC **** from the Maxima as well, but was able to swing a decent deal on a brand new 2016 GT-R **** so I went that route instead.
I think the top fitment of the boot will look at little better once I tighten everything up, but funny you should mention the stitching. I originally picked that stitching pattern to match the stitching on my steering wheel, so I actually had to send Mike at Redline a picture of the stitching on my steering wheel and he did a great job of matching it in both size and type. However, after installing the boot I am in agreement with you and feel that stitching pattern is a little too "bulky" for the boot, plus you really can't even see the steering wheel stitching at the same time as the boot stitching... leave it to me to overthink stitching! In retrospect I should have first picked out my shift **** and then had the stitching on the boot done to match the ****. Oh well, live and learn... I'll probably order something different next time I change my **** anyway. LOL

I finally got around to having the Redline arm rest cover modified and installed. It looks nice now, but took some work. Plan on paying a reputable leather shop to do this unless you are good with sewing, stretching leather, and gluing and stapling it. Maybe mine was just a fluke, but it definitely did not fit right.

I'm not sure, but I can tell you that our new Stratasys 3D printer uses a proprietary material that costs around $2,000~ per pound lol.
So if our mechanical engineer is going to develop custom brackets, we want to make sure there's enough people interested.
We've been gearing up for SEMA the past few months, so once that's over and things slow down a bit, we may be able to look into it.

You guys have a booth at SEMA this year, Nick? I plan to be there at least Thursday and Friday, so I will stop by and say, "Hi".
FYI... Finally got my Tail-as-Turn modules installed last weekend. I ended up leaving the factory turn signal bulbs in-line, since I have the JDM tails and like the amber turn signals, but I do need to change the bulbs to LED's so they will flash insync with the rest of the bulbs.

I'm going to order the $15 pack of sample leather swatches from Redline, to see what looks right with my Stone Leather interior. If one of them is a *go*, then I'll probably replace my boot too around Xmas. I really, really like what 4DRZ did here with the boot and his armrest.

Was that directed to RexHavoc?

That was meant to be directed to 4DRZ and only him. I wasn't even considering what RexHavoc had done. I just know too many people that will take in on themselves to try and modify something in a rush that doesn't fit right, myself included, and really end up screwing it up.. just because your excited to get your new part/mod installed. I've since learned to take my time with the installations and make sure I get them right and I was simply complimenting 4DRZ for doing the same. Hope I didn't make anyone feel I was directing that towards them.
