I just have to ask - how much did all of this cost?? I'm sure you're keeping track, aren't you? I have sunk about $7,000 into my car so far and I don't have anywhere near the setup that you do. I know an engine rebuild can easily run $7000+, plus the TT setup...and all the other mods... Any idea what your investment is at so far? (not counting the car istelf)

dude... you rock...
You put in a great effect without overkill on the body kit. Great job, the engine bay looks excellent as well. We need to see some more Z's like this... a very respectable agressive look without looking like your car came out of a movie, congrats!

All I can say is ....WOW! The kit really sets the car off. Engine bay looks great as well. This is definitely my favorite roadster on the forum. No rice at all. Show and go is what it is all about. Congrats again!
. Great job. You are going to have to let me know when you take it out to the track for the first time (after break in and tune) so I can go check it out.

I was thinking of putting on some black AL mesh. Just make sure to get aluminum mesh, or it will rust.
Right now, I just cant resist the "open" look, so I will probably just leave it that way.
