Yeah the Brace will be the only hard one to take off I think. Worst case I just sand and paint it again (;

Hopefully it works out okay. Im going to check on it tonight to see how it is holding up. From what I have seen that Brace only gets to 150~f max. I cant still touch it for the most part after a good drive so...idk :bowrofl:

Yeah I was thinking about painting my engine cover red at some point. I thought about doing plasti dip, but I think paint will look better.

Very cool dude! I would like mine done blue and black like the SA55M's

dmhenderson 10-08-2012 02:53 PM

I'm doing lazer crystal black with the recessed nismo logo done in satin white with a red satin "o"

Lazer crystal is a metallic black that has a silverish shine to it.

So it's this:

So getting wheels powdered takes a bit longer than doing calipers. Had to move the appointment back to 10/22 and I'll be without the car for about a week.

It'll be worth it though :tup:

dmhenderson 10-08-2012 05:50 PM

Yeah I'm gonna leave the lugs silver.

Mark, how much have you invested in your Z? its gotta be a lot.

dmhenderson 10-08-2012 07:28 PM

Enough that I don't want to do the math to add up the mods but so far:
-G3 intake (purchased with car)
-DLR LED set (purchased with car)
-GT-R start button
-FI Exhaust and HFCs (ships next month)
-Headlight nonsense
-Door handle blackout
-Door speaker/tweeter swap out
-head unit + XM tuner + Steering wheel control module
-Amp
-Sub
-Caliper powder
-Wheel powder
-Silly crap like allweather floor liners, hi-pressure radiator cap, nismo oil filler cap and interior LED bulb swaps

So yeah not terrible. Not like I bought a TT kit or anything.
Definitely going to buy another pair of headlights before next year's show season but that'll have to wait for now.

b1adesofcha0s 10-08-2012 07:39 PM

That reminded me to update my sig. Had to add the painted brake calipers and the headlights.

dmhenderson 10-08-2012 07:43 PM

Yeah I think honestly, most of you guys (of the ones that attended the headlight event) have more done to your cars than I do

I think you'll be right up there with us once you get your wheels done and exhaust installed.

Oh and I also bought those black/black CF EVO-R emblems. Those shipped today. That will be my Sunday project.
