Pictures of Installed Painted Stillen G3 Intakes?

SwissCheese · 05-11-2015, 09:39 PM

I did some searching, but didn't find much. Does anybody have pictures of painted Stillen Gen 3 intakes installed on their Z? I really like the idea of having them painted, but I'm not sure if I can justify the cost.

Anywho, let's see some pics!

A cheap DIY alternative is wrinkle paint(VHT), which you can buy at any auto zone, pep boys, etc. i have done this in previous cars with success, paint looks good, to me at least, and lasts a long time. I dont have any pics of my own, but i believe a member did this a few weeks back. Anyways, heres a pic i found but if you want to see more, google: "wrinkle paint intake 370z"

Yes! Save the $ and paint it yourself. Plastidip works too so go nuts, but use common sense and carefully wrap up the MAF area well.

Per your suggestion, I checked out google and found some good pics. This one could even pass for stock!

On a side note, along with pictures of intakes, my avatar popped up int he search results!

The black looks very clean, Swiss! As far as painting, believe when i tell you its very easy (and kinda cool) painting with the wrinkle paint, and very hard to mess up if you follow the instructions. I know you didnt ask for pics of the engine cover, but heres mine, done this past week

just in case you want to dress up the engine bay a bit more. WARNING: painting with wrinkle paint is addictive, careful with not going overboard
