Seeing Bigbri post his new setup So here is mine LOL . Do you guys think I should remove the OEM plasticd grill for more air to the intercooler? I will be attending Carlisle show in Harrisburg this weekend.

 

carlisle show is in carlisle... ill give you the same answer here as i did on 1auto.org.. i say keep it.. it attracts less attention.. unless youre going for a show car look, then id open it up..

 

open it up man

 

 

Looks good!!! I would open it up. Would be a great look for your Z!! if you got it, flount it!

BTW, what are your thoughts about your Seibon TS hood? Fitment; good, great of needed alot of work? Overall quality; CF weave, Imperfections, skeleton? How useful are the vents in keeping the underhood temps down? did the hood come with water plugs for the vents? if so how effective and easy to install are they?

 

Looks great...love the lip...

 

sleeper look keep it sealed

 

The Seibon TS hood fitment is still poor. Even though Seibon said it's been fixed, but not really. The weave is pretty good, skeleton is jsut smooth fiberglass just like any other CF hood. The top vents hit the battery and fluid plastic covers. On the 2 sides near the fenders it bulge up( not flush with the fender line). Beside those flaws, the hood look very good in person. The vents are functional as it release hot air from the engine bay. It definitely keep my hood temp down( don't know for sure how much ). They don't come with rain guards for the vents. I washed my car couple times with the hood and drove int he rain couple times. The car runs fine.

Thank you for the imputs.....I will leave it as is for now.

 

what brand / style lip is that Z PHAT Z?

 

Nice look, cut the grill out, I think Im gonna do that soon...

 

Slightly off topic , but do you have to remove the bumper or can you take a cutting shear to it???

 

It would be much cleaner of a job imo if you remove the bumper, but I suppose it can be done from the outside...

 

can we get a closer pic of the turbo set up??

 

Nice setup man.....Like the car...

 

Nice! What lip is that?

 

I, too, think it would look cleaner and meaner to open up the front bumper.

Seibon hood looks hot. I had that exact one..and loved it...until it started dimpling, and it rubbed on just about everything under the hood. Took it off a few months back.

 

opener up

 

Where did you get the lip and about how much do they go for?

 

ShineAutoproject they are on ebay and on here its vertex replica and its actually VERY GOOD. They bend and everything. its some hybrid frp stuff feels like plastic to me

 

It's Seibon CF lip. It's a replica of the Veilside CF lip.
