nope. i gets no beef. The nighttime lighting isnt all that bad if you have HID's. Just makes them look like regular halogens.

Did you give your engine bay a shampoo or just cleaned it by hand? What products did you use to clean it cause it looks sweet......

so if you blackout your headlights and taillights.. they look like regular halogens and the light doesn't shine through that well? hmm.. i guess i'm going to have to reconsider doing the black and blue theme... maybe i'll do blue and white..

for the air duct.. how can you hide the screws?

Why don't you try using black rivots instead of screws? It could work. Just a suggestion.

Nice setup...does your Z perform better with the Varis Duct? I have a popcharger and have often wondered if adding the varis duct would improve performance.

I think that the Varis duct would work cause it draws in more cool air to the intake....

it pretty much works like a "ram air" kit, if you will. So in theory.. it SHOULD help some. lol. To be honest, its a very minor difference. It also helps with underhood temps.. where stuff like that is important. Like here in texas where its hot year round.
