Default Fake BBK on EBAY!

Thought this was hilarious. Sorry if it's a repost.

to tell you the truth the OP in the ebay page is smart to sell these...everyone knows what people do to their cars these days, and don't make me bring the blue "k&n blown" 350z in here!! lol

either way i guess it's not THAT BAD if you are just doing it for ***** and giggles...i mean it's only $50 and who knows, someone may actually keep them on their car


and by no means am i saying i'd want to ever EVER see these on a Z, it's just that i've seen WAY worse

Dont forget to purchase those nifty turbo/blow off valve sound simulators for your Z33 as well. It will save you some bones. Oh yea, every sticker adds 15 horsepower (to the wheel), so be sure to cover your entire car with the product name so your Z can be compensated with the amount of power it will not gain by installing this mod. You'll thank me later... Don't forget the intercooler (if your serious) and uhh... weld the hood shut. These will definitely compliment your plastic BBK/calipers...

Its tasteful,I would buy a set....Would be pretty darn close to last on the list, but Im not going to dis the idea. A $3k BBK look for $50..

Oh and OEM's look so hot...NOT..Its the old saying "all show and no go". People that put a kit and rims on their car and no performance are essentially doing the same thing(Iam a all show and no go kinda person ).

Gold volk challengers, red lugs, and red covers would look dope.

Wow. Just wow... You can't be serious. If you are hinting the "all show, no go" towards the Z33, your wrong. Last time I checked, power in stock form wasn't lacking that much compared to other cars... I understand being a baller on a budget if that fits your criteria, but DO NOT put these cheezy covers on your $30,000 - $40,000 sports car. (BTW OP, this thread was intended to be a joke...)

I have to disagree about painting calipers and having these things being anywhere near the same. Improving an existing part seems fine to me. I painted my calipers, not to pretend they were racing brakes, but just because I liked to have a splash of color on my silver car.

But why in the world would anyone want to have THOSE? It's just pretending and faking and posing. I really really don't understand it.

Maybe I'm just not in touch, who knows. I'm a bit of a beige fellow.

I think they woudl be fine for those who want the look of teh BBk without the price. IF you have aftermarket cross-drilled/slotted rotors AND those covers came with NO brand name then i don't see a problem with them. IF there is no brand name then you aren't pretending liek you got some 10K brembos but a nice alternatlive to painting stock brakes red which looks liek crap. Covers shoudl say NISSAN or just nothing if you really wanted that look but jsut dindt' have the money. Just imo..

I thought they jsut clamped on but yea that woudl be a *****. But to each his own. Someone wants to do it then it's their call. Cause if you think about it, 80% of people here buy a BBK becasue they got deep pockets and like the look of a particular BBK then they shell out the 6k or w/e. Most people don't even track their cars but have 6-10K BBK which is defienlty not needed on the street...so I coudl see this as a possible solution for those that also want thsi look but just dont' have the cash. ANd it woudl have to be done with aftermarket rotors. I'm just thinking on both sides here and this is just imo
