Default my blue powdercoated Vortech installed. pics

Well, it turned out great and looks awesome. I am waiting on my cusco strut bar and SSV manifold from Kinetix and my engine bay will really start to look hot. I am working on something special for the blowers finish right now it is just satin...

you can see the blue piping and intercooler too. nice....

I'm not selling it, I couldn't go through with it. Just look how awesome this car is! this car has my name written all over it, my work of art... I love it and I'm keeping her!!!

BTW Sharif, thanks for the lm-1 and innovate WB gauge it is awesome!!!

so now I am just adding to the list, I have the JWT Clutch/Flywheel, Topspeed headers, and kinetix SSV manifold (whenever it gets here, next week) to install.

Hey Cat! The car looks awesome. I'm really glad you decided to keep it. We both hit the F/I club about the same time.....what a coincidence.

That's bad ***. I've been trying to decide if I should go with black wheels (I have Daytona Blue too) but was afraid they wouldn't look right on the blue. I think the black and chrome wheels you have are perfect though. Nice balance.

I also plan on a carbon fiber hood but was thinking of going with the blue CF because I was afraid the black hood would just be too much. I knew if I went with black wheels I'd want the black carbon fiber hood but I was really afraid I would be entering the land of rice at that point but those pics convinced me. Looks amazing.

Oh, and the Vortech install doesn't look too bad either.

Kaitain, CF looks awesome on bright colors... blue, orange, red... it is an amazing contrast and you will definitely like the black with blue. go for it.

here is closer of the diamond black and blue.... great combo!!

Do me a favor and go beat up on some M3's. You will feel even better about your decision. This car is one of a kind and would be difficult to replace. Both cars are nice, but your Z is a work of art. Can't wait to see this thing in person. Are you going to HIN Dallas?

Wow, I never thought to use that flexable plastic tubing (the light blue) in the engine compartment. I use something that looks like that in my computers (black though) and behind my desks to keep the cables nice and neat. Is that a special high heat version of the tubing? I would just be worried about it melting with it touching the engine in places.
