Default DIY week

Had a great DIY week with the Z... un-plastidipped my rims after at least a year with it on

finally installed my stillen gen 3 intakes
(thanks to this post DIY: Finally Installed The STILLEN G3 Intake today! Lots of Pics inside (AK370Z))

took me nearly 8 hours (with a dinner break) and it was a pain...but worth it... side note: should only take 2-3 hours but my Z was a salvage and alot of things were more difficult to unscrew/bolt and the fitting of certain things was not perfect

Also took off the badges to black them out
(thanks to this post Under the emblems)

Used Dupli-color perfect match Universal gloss black and universal clear... came out a good level of glossy

hopefully more to come

I got my intakes sitting in the house in a box. Need to find time to install them. Overall did you notice any power increase or throttle response change? How'd it feel on the butt dyno?

ive only taken it for one good spin since installing.. (still debadged and looks like crap) but i think the ecu still has to adjust.. When reving i could hear a slightly deeper tone but it wasnt anything huge... I feel once i break it in on a few more drives the butt dyno will show bigger results... throttle response felt quicker but only time will tell
