Default Polished plenum
I know polished plenums aren't for everyone. But some may appreciate good polishing work.

wow as beautiful as that makes the engine bay look, it helps in no way of performance.. I wouldn’t spend the money on that until I was satisfied with my performance mods.. This engine bay has money in cosmetics yet he doesn’t even have a CAI, which is the basic of basic mods.

Maybe for Hondas and Acuras. He has a short ram intake, which on the Z has been proven to be better than worthless long tube CAI's...

Actually I don't have a CAI but I do have the Gruppe -M Carbon Fiber intake with the Carbon Fiber Ram air system, 5/16 Plenum Spacer, and a HKS Hi Power Titanium exhaust. I know it's not much right now but I plan to go FI in the next few months. Here's a few pics before the polish:

No problem bro, I just wanted to address your concern about the intake.

Looks great! Use Mothers metal polish on it when you polish it.
