Default Wtt 2 tone z....

I know some have tried it and Ive seen a few examples. Since times are tuff Im looking for an inexpensive new look for the Z. I am interested in trading my hood, roof, hatch, mirrors, A and B pillars for a different color. My car is a super black and I am interested in all colors except lemans, brickyard, yellow, and daytona. Trade could be temp or perm. Paint is in good condition and I would prefer silverstone or red, locally. let me know if any one is interested? Please no bashing...




Heres were the idea hit me...

I think silverstone on the top half of the car would look pretty good actually.

And I could care less about having work rims right now Mr. Steeee...

Jesus when did the Mid-A turn into a bunch of kids heckling everything and anything?

I personally wouldn't want a different colored hatch/hood, but how is this any different than someone getting a carbon fiber hood that weighs close to the same as a stock hood?

And don't give me the it "dissipates heat faster" because most of you haven't even taken your Z to a track to actually get your engine temps high enough.

Im not gonna get used to it. Just because the Z is Getting "cheaper" doesnt mean when people do retarded **** to it we arent going to get mad. It just means we really have to do the Z up properly so people know whats its supposed to look like.

Id also like to know how to swap a roof out. I was looking to borrow someones convertible roof. My GF wants to go to the beach this summer. I will lend you my DB roof and rear hatch for the weekend.

.steeeeeez thats like a 20 min swap right?

Abui can you help with the swap?

I admit, I do it just to look cool and be able to tell all my friends I have Carbon Fiber bodyparts like the Formula 1 cars. On top of that, it looks very "race" and I hear people back off when you have one of these babies in fear of what other JDM goods you might have lurking under that hood.

Oh.. it dissipates heat quicker too? Awesome!! Something new to tell my buds after school lets out tomorrow

Dont think you'd want that, my mechanic skills are limited to a hack-saw and maybe a big hammer.

I'm thinking of parting out and moving on to the next stage of my mid-life crisis since these are a hell of a lot more common these days. Not to mention they're getting stolen/stripped now!

So the carbon fiber piece is just a lay over? I thought it replaced the stock roof cover...
