Don't want too much CF but those few subtle touches I think are nice.

I am going to have to bust out the dremel if I want my cover back on. :eek:

Good "morning" people. :hello:

madwi 08-11-2016 06:07 PM

What a gorgeous day. Might have to go work in the garage a bit. :tup:

ChaseZ 08-11-2016 06:07 PM

Gorgeous blue GT-R passed me while I was in the truck. First one I have seen out in the wild.

ChaseZ 08-11-2016 06:10 PM

Weather has been so crumby lately forgot what it was like to have an actually clean car. So got her all washed up then a coat of Adams detailing spray. So purdy n shiny :)

I think it will be OK if I plan it right. Where the nitrous and fuel lines connect to the plate is right in the way of the corner/side of the engine cover. Shouldn't be too bad to make a decent looking notch.

Not so sure I like the Motordyne decal in it with the new finish, but it's on there so not likely coming off now

repaint cover black and keep the sticker :tup:

Ah I see where you're going with this. Yeah a steady hand and some patience should do a nice clean job. Maybe make a guide if possible.

ChaseZ 08-11-2016 06:20 PM

Crap, here comes the rain again

Guess I'm leaving the Z in the garage if I head out this evening

There's actually a used cover for sale online here for $40 I was thinking of grabbing so I'd have a stock one too; like the rest of my parts in case ever want to go back that way.

For sure.

I meant a more substantial guide that the Dremel can ride against to leave perfectly shaped cuts.
