pics of my engine bay... lots of eye candy!!
something old, something new, (nothing borrowed 
) but definitely something blue....
what's different from stock....?
injen intake courtesy StreetSports
polished manifold courtesy StrictlyZ
nismo oil cap courtesy CourtesyParts.com
painted engine cover, and battery & brake fluid covers courtesy Stuart's
real carbon fiber overlay'd and end painted stock strut bar courtesy Stuart's
blue grounding kit courtesy myself
throttle body water bypass courtesy myself
let me know what you all think... i dont know if i am sure of the colored covers in the rear, they kind of pull attention away from the engine...i will keep it for a while and see if it grows on me.

the carbon fiber is layed, then resin is added.. then it was sanded down, and then clear coated along with the blue ends.. nothing is gonna happen to it.

How much is the polished intake manifold?
I like most of the changes though I personally would leave the brake/battery covers black, you're right they draw the eyes away from the engine. Probably because of the contrasting black around them.

Did you do a brake upgrade yet? I think that's the first thing I'm going to do if I ever get around to spending any more dough...

ricky: i had them painted.. i dont know what they used..
the guy who did the carbon fiber'ing to the stock bar said it would be $200 + shipping + painting (if you want the ends painted).
he also said if he could do the black plastic pieces on the outside of the B pillar for about $120 if there was enough interest to get about 15-20 done.
here is a pic of the enginebay with the black covers..
WOW! Looks GREAT!
I don't think I"ll copy, other mods before......
My question, does anyone else think the GREEN bolts look like sh#t? Did Nissan get an AN surplus buy? Although the Z IS heavy, I don't think Army Tank bolts look right.

Damn, that's exactly what I've been wanting my engine bay to look like, except I want the strut bar Daytona blue as well. And a Greddy tt kit, of course. Anyway, you definitely have the nicest looking engine bay that I've seen on the Z so far.

Car looks awesome! You are missing one thing that I can think of. On the Vivid racing web site, they sell Samco radiator hoses in Red, Blue colors. These hoses would look good on your car. I purchased the red set for about $150 for my crome silver, but have not installed them yet. Will post Pics when I do. I can't wait to se your car in about 6 months, wonder what mods you will have by then.
