Default Pic request: polished hood?

hey guys, i know there is a silver Z running around with a polished hood on here, i just cant seem to find pics. Ive seen a pic of it at the last hellaflush meet. If anyone has pics, please post them up.

im looking into doing this with an extra hood, but cant seem to find it using search..

thanks in advance.

Just go polish your own hood, and then post a picture of it.

But just in case it's raining where you are, here's a pic I found of a polished hood. Notice how nicely the lights reflect off the surface.

Definitely sarcasm. Polished aluminum on antique planes looks great, so I guess it would look pretty nice on a Z, too.

There's a 300ZX with a polished aluminum hood here:

How about removing all the paint not just the hood?

Not sure if it is polished or another color entirely.

He may be a member on the forum, the pic was taken from this thread:

After seeing the car in post #8, I'm going to change my mind about it looking good. Let's leave it to the old plane guys.

No problemo, I didn't even read your post about it being from HF but I thought it was this Z anyway.

My photographic memory is a blessing and a curse sometimes.

Dude, I LOL'd so hard I scared my cat.

I'm too old for skinny jeans, it would look struggles.

i really think its still ahorrible idea... i kinda like if its polished like on the interior, for show of engine bay... but ir eally dont like it outside...the yellow "gsr" (lol) that looks decent its more to do with the kind of hood, and everything else is "clean" but...the z... just polish paint.... but the rest is just more the picture than the actual car IMO....

really...it a bad mod... i dunno if its a style off domestics....
i guess....if you are looking for somethign that catche syou eye at a car show too...doesnt mean its good though....

Again, the best look is the one in the yellow car, that has more to do with the hood style, the rest in clean, and the pictures are good too...its amazing how decent pictures can carry you a long way.....The Z....sorry if its a member, and again i know its car show, but all those stickers are fail....

+1 on waizz wearing using those tight jeans
