do you also paint the top of the engine cover as others above? do you use powder or regular paint? did you preform the work above?

any pictures of monterey blue calipers on my car or red ones on blue

I did Daisuke's, Kevr6 and mine. The engine cover is painted with liquid paint, I don't do that. I don't have any installed pics of calipers on 370z.

That's super nice!

how did u ship it lol. what box what protection etc? and how much was it to ship. i am here in norcal.

Badazz!

Uh oh. no one tell Tony

Wrapped it with foam sheeting, taped cardboard pieces over the three corners and slipped it into a 48x15x15 box, but didn't fold the box, just cut the flaps off of it, so it's like a sleeve for the whole thing. Taped the ends. $21 shipping with my ups account

damn i went to uhaul didnt find any boxes like that. where the heck do i get one? trying to ship to u mike!

I get my boxes from uline.com but you can't just order 1. try your local ups store. they usually sell all sizes of boxes, or just have them package it for you.

im diggin the cf engine cover and the hood struts. where did you get those struts? and what are the specs? i wanna get rid of the ugly metal hood holder. any fitment issues? maybe you should wrap the hood struts carbon fiber. it should look hott. and how did you chrome out the strut bar?

Or ask for a sample. ;) Though that might only work if you have a business account set up with them.

Here's mine. I painted it when I resprayed the body. I'll post better pics when it's sunny. The color is the same chameleon as the body.

Tracie, y u no tell me bout diz thread?

I'm looking to do something with my front tower strut brace, but I'm indecisive. I have black nickel R2C intakes. I am worried doing the whole brace in black chrome would be too much, but I like the idea. Or maybe just gloss black? Open to suggestions :tiphat: I'm also going to do a design on the brace, but it is still in development.

*shrug*

I vote for black chrome.

Back from the dead. Shitty iphone pix on an overcast day. Will try for better later.

Rest of the engine bay is chrome (intakes, coolant tanks, PS reservoir), red (hoses and fasteners) or carbon (engine cover)

Thought about red, but that seems like too flashy for my car

OEM is black

Carbon/Titanium is stupid expensive

Preferred a darker, shinier gunmetal but this was the best available

I still like it though
