I've got oxidation on engine, looks like crap. I live 20 mins from the gulf, so i thought the salt water in the air may have done it. Your on an island and your engine look F-ing great.

I agree 100% to bad we cant make little doors in the bumper that would look stupid.

Also we get so much rain and random deep water in our roads. CAI are just to much a liability for me.

KaienZ34 04-06-2011 11:45 AM

sides and front did... the rear.... a tad bit darker :(

Nitex 04-07-2011 04:30 PM

Hey sim, how is the Amuse front matching up with the stock side skirts? Looks ok from this angle but i cant really tell.

Edit* Not color wise, but fitment wise, do they flow well together.

Mr&Mrs 04-07-2011 04:33 PM

Are those stockers? They look like the Amuse ones to me.

small update.... powder coat guy is on island.... only for a week took off my gold jim wolf heat shields and coolant overflow tank and having them powdercoat it with silver vein (same as my strut bar)

should look tasty with the password jdm covers when ever i get them lol...

got a small problem.... have a small leak on my lower z1 performance radiator hose... its a good thing that had to remove my coolant overflow tank with the stock one... it was empty.... second time already... first time i noticed it was empty i thought i forgot to fill it i then checked with a flash light loads of coolant on the front amuse bumper.... never leaked to the floor though cuz of diffuser collecting it :(

SPOHN 04-09-2011 05:19 PM

Is there a pin hole in it or is it where it connects?

where it connects i believe i cant tell lol cuz of amuse front bumper its gonna suck but i might as well do an oil change while im at it.... its such a pain to pull off the front... especially on the undertray cuz it goes so far back :shakes head:

SPOHN 04-09-2011 05:28 PM

Yea I know the feeling. Wish there where some type of quick clips.

KaienZ34 04-10-2011 10:44 AM

Good to hear it was a small problem. It sounds like the hardest part was the bumper removal.
