Clean silicone for windows and doors. Working temp of -60 to 400*. Will never crack, peel, leak etc. will flex and move and not cause an issue.

I don't know. It looks good on the vette. Not so much on the Z. Maybe a front shot will change my opinion.

I know everyone's a critic and big props to you for even attempting something like this, but I wonder if something a little more pointed would have looked better?

Like this maybe?

How about mine? Modified Nismo RS hood cut outs.

That looks good, did you use a template from the 350z nismo or custom? More pics please!

Good job OP! Looks professional.

Hmmm I don't know about that. It'd be nice for the cai but the triangle look is off putting I think. Might have to paint instead of doing black on something. Maybe ill paint the lower lip black for more black to even out the front.

Thanks.

How hard is it to do? Have a few more ideas but don't want to waste your time.

Tomorrow I think I'm going to color match the brake inlets so I don't get that triangle look with the filter inlets. And was curious what it might look like with the inlets right over the filters for max ram air, so maybe a few inches inward. And last what it'd look like to have the lower front lip black that so many do. Just thinkin...

Sorry. The brake inlets are the round things? And filter inlets are the one I put on? And you want these slightly more spread out? Did I get it right?

Sorry. Brakes are bottom. Yes filters are you, and I meant more inwards where the filters are like on a G3.

Got ya. Tomorrow night (maybe), but I'll get it done eventually.
