Would love to see a video of the process.

It is a diy job...I am incredibly mechanically challenged lol. The guy that did the install said it was a piece of cake and that John's instructions were spot on easy to follow.

The black on the silver really pops. I agree it looks awesome on the red as well. You just need a front splitter to set it off even more.

Looks great Bob, with Nismo fascia and the splitter, it compliment the look, although I pulled the trigger, I am still thinking it will look weird on stock car

but I need it for the track

Any ideas yet on how much cooler Zs are running now with the new inserts as opposed to stock? I'm TTed and this is very interesting as my temps have risen a bit since going FI.
Is there an option available for rain protection? I like the looks of them and think they would look and work good on my black Z.

and great skills cooltoy, I like it

if you have time, can you put the vents on the attached photo with Mine's intake scoops (sorry for the resolution, this is the most current photo I can find).

Compared to a non-vented hood, you should see like a 20 degree drop. Compared to a cosmetic hood with vents like a Seibon TS or a VIS Terminator...my expectation is that it'll drop 10-15 degrees.

My car is NA, I was at Chuckwalla this Sunday and my oil temps never went above 240. Normally I'm up in the 260's, I hit limp mode at SOW in October with a 34 row oil cooler installed. So I think the vents are working pretty well.
