Cool. And there's the nature of your surprise reveal... something else.

Looking forward to seeing your build thread bumped with awesomeness.

I hope it doesn't get too cold in Philadelphia. An all metal shift **** in the cold of winter NEVER seems to warm up. I love what the car came with.

That's a fair concern. It's why I have a summer **** and a winter ****.

The summer **** is Titanium, and the winter **** is made out of Copolymer.

Those look pretty stunning, though. The paintwork is really nice. I'd love to have one of those bright colored ones to look at, but I wouldn't actually want it on my shifter, since it wouldn't go with my interior.

I hear you - red would have matched the GT-R push to start i guess...but not anything else.

John got tired of rubbing his **** to all winter long to warm it up.

This made me laugh a little too loud and my wife asked me "what's so funny". I told her a guy on the g37 forum has a winter and summer ****.

I guess I have the "all season" ****, also known as OEM.

Thanks for the chuckle!

Oh hey, I make no apologies for being over the top on this. The Titanium **** is positively brutal cold when temps get below freezing. The first year, I used to keep a right-hand glove in the car, just because of it. So the second year I bought the same design, but in Copolymer. It simply doesn't get hot or cold (to the touch.) It's strange.

Here's another picture of the Titanium **** with the Redline boot. Absolutely love this configuration.

Im on my second pair of S-04s and couldnt be happier about the performance, super sticky, handles amazing in rain and ride well. Only thing is if you don't baby your car they go fast

Pretty sure all tires in this category have limited tread life?! especially on a staggered setup and ones with mucho camber

I got better tread life out of the PSS than the S04 by about 3000 miles, which pretty much negates the price difference.

I thought the S04s were quieter and had sharper steering, but the PSS had better wet/dry grip.

Does anyone have the topspeed pro 1 catback with FI rhfc? Any info on this combo would be great. I was waiting on getting a FI catback but I keep seeing good things with topspeed as well. Having it priced 1k less than FI with no wait is a huge plus as well.

I stopped by the local Infiniti dealer to see what their price would be on a midnight grill and it was $576.01. Holy hell. I'll be getting one in the next few weeks but i'll be ordering it from somone online....
