The paint looks good. But I'm not feeling any of those colors. I guess it's kinda hard to find a color to go with the LS. Good luck.

gunmetal with a lot of silver flakes would look pretty good imo...

I thnk that SilverStone painted covers would look best under the hood of your car.

im new to the board, but why did u changed the cai? i know nothing about popcharger, but in the pic..it looks like a short ram intake to me. so that would be inferior to a cai.
anyways, i like it, the color stand out

actually the pop charger has shown great results compared to the cai. i use to have a nismo and switched to JWT pop charger.

+1 But at least you've gotten around to doing that mode TWICE! I'm still lagging behind. Oh, and surprisingly I think I like the look of the PopCharger better than the CAI.

the fact that you like it is what matters the most. it's your car and you can do what ever you want to it. A+ for effort.

it certainly sounds cooler than "cold air intake" hehe. and also looks a lot easier to install since u dont have to mess with the bumper and such. also since its not a cai...no hydrolocking issue. ill prollly get a pop charger as well if i get a z.

wow, thats a hot deal! around here $100 would be the price for just cutting the piping and the price of the bypass valve alone!

Besides the owner, I must be the only one who likes the yellow better. A darker blue would have been nice, but I'd take the yellow over the baby blue anyday.

Skittlez is that Daytona yellow engine paint?


I did the same thing if it is.....Looks good


I have the yellow grounding wires also


Plus side on the color is since there are so many negatives on the yellow there will be less copycats
