Some Nismo or similiar caps would compliment that nicely, another 75 bucks, never ending but then you could lose that orange.

Excellent point, the Nismo caps are the only thing missing! That's all I have. and just added the pop charger, I have a long way to go, where did you get all those medal hoses?

When you install GReddy twin turbos.

Most people hate to spend 75 bucks for dumb caps and do it last like a bite the bullet thing, I even thought about painting my oil cap bfore paying 55 bucks it's just one of those things, they know we want them so they sell them high. It's not done till you do the caps lol.

I must say the car is off the hook though, body kit and all and sitting on dubs too? Is this a car show car? I just washed my car today and looked at my black calipers (used to be red) and realized my car will never be a show car, I don't have the patience. I'm just gonna run my into the ground

add:

They make a pretty cool chrome oil dip stick handle too that replaces the ugly orange one. See what I mean about never ending?

In my opinion the nicest and cleanest looking Z around. Love everything you've done with it and the pic in your sig continues to be my desktop wall paper. Keep up the good work

You've got a great looking car and you've spent your money well, but the fake steel braid lines really cheapen the look. Samco hoses would be a fitting addition for a car as nice as yours. Not trying to dis you in any way, just an opinion.

ACP: Keep those steel hoses just as they are! I think they look very good!

Murry: He more than likely had it painted. A lot of us have had our engine covers, strut bars, battery and brake fluid covers painted. Below is a pic of mine as an example.

Max: Where can you get this chrome dipstick?

yep one of the cleanest z's ive seen...your ride is the perfect example of modding. clean look, definelty not stock looking but certainly not overdone. a nice stance with the kit and the eibachs. awesome braking power and clean but sweet looking wheels. and of course the performance to back it up with the greddy. fantastic. i love it.
