Default JWT question

This is for people that have seen it in person. Does the JWT TT kit look ugly from the front of the car with those two intercoolers. I was just thinking about it and thought it might look ugly Give my your input

depends on whether you driving a 350Z or G35; the dual intercoolers are for the G35 only. The design is for effenciency; either way it looks hot.

The Z intercooler is a dual as well, but the intercooler on the G is spaced out a little more. Very efficient setup

I think it looks fine. The G35 one is perfectly situated for max airflow with the OEM bumper.

I'm going to paint mine black, too. Should look better in black. I've even toyed with the idea of replacing it with an APS intercooler; no so much for looks but for better air flow and weight savings.

They sent me the G35 intercoolers, and on top of that they shipped the BB530 instead of the BB700. Apparently, the 700/s has to be custom ordered/shipped, as they're not as readily available as the 530.

So we ponder and we wait.

The intercooler looks fine but what looks bad is having a license plate on the front of your Z. I refuse to put a plate on the front of mine and I don't care if I get a ticket for it. I havent yet. Most cops are not observant enough to even notice.

Around my house you get pulled over for alot of things if you go around silver spring you are for sure going to get pulled over. i took the tag of on my old car and got pulled over 3 times in one day for the same thing. but only got one ticket for it cause i just kept pulling out the ticket and telling them i would get it fx plus there is no need to break the law for something stupid and get pulled over for it. but i agree it looks 100x better with out the tag.
