Ceramic coating isn't a bad idea. The good thing is that with proper hand placement, your hands aren't on the carbon fiber sections.

Exactly! I'm 6'4 255 lbs and my seat is as close to the floor pan as I could get without bolting directly to it, so my main concern was preventing scratches as I execute the 7-step procedure called "getting out of my Z." :driving:

I installed the cargo cover I bought from a member here, so now my subwoofer is 'invisible'. I also installed a real leather e-brake boot. I was going to apply the CF dash kit I bought but decided against it.

Installed my Stillen 25 row oil cooler.
Also upgraded my AFFM (Air Functional Fang Mod) ... it’s not so ghetto now. More in my build thread

Have you had time to drive a bit and test its cooling abilities yet? If so, what are the differences in temp you're seeing? Thanks!

I have! Long story short, last week, 15 min of driving and 10 min of idling I saw 196. Last night 20-30 min of driving and 10 min of idling plus a little warmer temp outside and never went above 184, even cruising at 90mph for 5 min. :tup:

I need to get one... temps here in FLA are probably fairly similar to the Dallas / FW area.

Pleased as punch so far. Not a difficult install either. Think it took me an hour to install it and change the oil. Hour and a half tops.

That's a clever/ballsy way to attach the lines to the sandwich.

I sometimes wonder if it would be easier just to fall out of the seat and pick myself up.

Haha yeah it’s a bit iffy... but I’m lowered on KW’s and putting them under the sway bar scares me

:iagree: My lines are run Z1-style.. I would have deleted the stock sandwich cooler/tubes and run the oil lines along the pan and up the driver's side, but I live in Chiberia and really dislike the idea of idling for 25 minutes before the oil is warm enough.
