What do you think??? Powdercoated Stillen G3 and Strut Brace
 
Got my Stillen G3 installed today during our GTG at Z1. Thanks Mike for doing such a great job powdercoating the intakes and strut brace. Also, many thanks to the guys at Z1 for continuously taking care of my car and the other 370Z guys.

Thanks man! My first choice was to do the brilliant silver on the car, but we could not match it perfectly. As a result, we did the dark gray. Came out much better than I expected.

That looks great, I plan on powercoating my future intake tubes flat black when I go pick up a G3 from Stillen. I have to say, the dark grey really suits the part. How much did that run you if you don't mind me asking?

daisuke149 07-24-2010 11:26 PM

whatever you do christian, have Mike do them for you. : ) hes trying to retire but im trying to keep him going! lol. he did the powdercoating and he does an amazing job. Im sure alot of people can vouch for that.

:iagree:

That's just the nature of the 370Z. These cars always look better in person. I love that gray so I'll most likely carry that theme to the rest of the car. Also, that's almost the same color as the calipers.

You're camera is SICK dude.

Looks great man! :tup:

I agree with daisuke149. Mike does amazing work and if not probably one of the best in this business :cool:

:iagree::iagree::iagree:

Thanks again for the great work Mike. The color is very subtle but it looks great on the silver.

m4a1mustang 07-25-2010 10:12 AM

I like it, but I need to qualify this response... I like it BUT I don't like the huge "Fairlady Z" on the brace. It looks way too busy and clashes with the engine cover.

If I were you I would paint the silver part of the engine color red like on the NISMO (Simota1 has a DIY) and it will look a lot better.

So, aside from the Fairlady Z lettering I think it looks good!

Thanks buddy! Simota1's does look good. There's a lot of space on the strut brace and with the dark gray it would have been to dark under the hood. So, I decided to bring in some of the silver with the FairladyZ and I like that emblem.

i dont see how a red engine cover when nothing else on the car is red won't be considered as "clashing"

I think the fairlady z looks really good and not busy at all. I would change the color of the engine cover or the engine cover itself, but definitely not red.
