chris, your engine bay looks good! was wondering what the red maf tubes looked like in a MB bay. what are the red hoses connected to the post maf's? another random question, what did you do w/ the aluminum nozzles that shipped w/ the Z1 tubes?

Thanks! :tiphat:

I'm not sure, it might contrast, or it might look good. Could go either way...

Those are the PCV tubes that Z1 also sells. They replace those black boxes on your stock intakes.

I used them to connect to the PCV tubes.

Yeah my theme is Black/Red.

I also have my stereo cover plates to match. And had my brake calipers done too.

I'd go Yellow, or Black. Depending on if there are other Black accents.

not really. there are smoke chrome/black chrome powdercoats, but they really just look gray metallic.

I bought that brace from Rick/VIP Status a long time ago. I actually need to get it re-done as the finish wasnt so great when i got it, and has gotten worse over the last 2 yrs. But yes its a black chrome and does match the black chrome emblems pretty well.
