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?

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.

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

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.
