Stillen is only 5 min from my house. Untill they get better hood, no stillen supercharge for me

I'm sure some readers are a little slow on the up take, but after 3 (repeat) posts I think it's now clear you're not a fan of the Stillen hood.

Here is a pic of mine, its the only thing i have done to her so far, until i decide which direction i should go

Personally, its not the hood i had in mind, but as it turns out it grew on me and i love it now

Hey, does anyone have a pic of what the stillen V1 350Z hood looks like from the drivers seat looking down the road?

I should take a pic like that... the back of my cowl is all scratched up though... i need to get the entire hood sanded and re-cleared.

GSX-RZ - what stage are you? I would recommend either the stillen or HKS exhaust and stillen or JWT intake next for performance and wheels and suspension after that... make sure you get some decent tires and if you can resist the big wheel temptation stick with 18's so you dont lose performance.

I am not sure if i am going to go that route, i might just look into trading the Center exit for some other performance part, or maybe some wheels. I am still trying to get a good idea of what i want to Z to look like when i am done so i dont buy parts that i will not end up using...knda like the center exit exhaust.

I am going to wash and wax her today, ill be posting up pics soon.

Any pics of your Z with the stock hood cut to clear the S/C (without the CF cowl attached)? Would love to see the Z with the Stillen S/C sticking out old school Muscle Car like! Did you post finished pics yet? Did I somehow miss them in this thread? Are they in another thread?
