you can barely see an intercooler behind the stock Z grill anyhow. Doubt you'd need to paint it.

the only time it wont be noticed is when the car is off. SOmeone just needs to follow you to where you park it and steal it there if they want it that bad.

A turbo car is never a sleeper.

lol good luck getting to where I park it. Trust me...my car is the cheapest car in my neighborhood...theyd steal the lambo before my pile =P. And yeah thats the point, when the car is parked..these cars are jokes in CT, ive seen 1.5 decently built 350z here. one was a twin turbo and the other was a single turbo..but it was riced out...im going for a stock-ish look..with the only appearance mods being tints and rims..

Nice, Super-Sleeper! I like when people do this, but please rattle-can the hose clamps, and have the lower I/C pipes done is black as well. I always seem to notice these things when people "Black-Out" there intercoolers, and you can still see the silver clamps!!

Edit: nevermind about doing the lower I/C pipes in black. The Powerlab I/C is so wide; you can't even see the pipes with the slock bumper.

haha dont worry, I know. im even going as far as keeping the stock muffler/tips and doing 3" pipin right before the muffler to a cutout..even from the back its gonna look stock. You wouldn't happen to have a pic of a car with the 37r installed would you?

I don't think I have any of the GT37R. I'm pretty sure the ones I have are of the GT35R. I know Intense has a GT37R on there G35 right now, maybe I can get some shots of it. I believe the only difference is a larger snail, and a larger inlet. They both sit in the same location.

This is a picture of a GT35R Powerlab kit, but this turbo has a 1.06 A/R. The customer requested the higher A/R. This is probably a close comparison to the GT37R, but with a larger inlet.

You would have to call and ask Pete. Are you asking for a smaller inlet housing or a smaller snail (Exhaust housing)?
