Default Completed Engine Bay Pics!!!

Thought I would share with my fellow members my summer project on my Z. You may have seen some of my pictures on other posts, but I would like to think that I am finally done. (Yea... Right)

The following is a list of changes (mods) that I made.

1. Painted (red) seven engine bay pieces.

2. JWT POP Charger

3. Z-Xtreme grounding kit.

4. Engine Bay Polished Bolt Kit.

5. Polished Radiator Cover

I will follow this thread with six pictures showing my project.

Feel free to give me your input positive or negative.

Looks good, but the JWT blue looks a little out of place, when your popcharger needs a refuel try the K&B oil and see how that looks.

I hear ya...

Do you think the red oil would change the blue to red?

I also like the contrast with the red, but I would consider changing to red if it would change.

Not sure what would happen if you just sprayed it. But you could do a washout and clean out the blue completely. After that go with the K&N. It won't turn out red but it will be a rust color. I really have no idea how it would look, it was just an idea.

Looks very nice. I am not sure how i feel about the battery and brake covers being the red. Kinda stand out, almost too much for me, like bug eyes. But that is such a "nit-pickey" aspect for something that looks that nice. The engine itself looks great. I am sure it was hard work and it definately paid off!!!!

What I was about to say......I dont like the covers much. You did a SWEET job on the engine, and I think it'd stand out better if you had left the covers black.
