Talking Powder Coated Tower Bar 370z

What do you guys think?
I went and got my tower bar powder coated Fire Hydrant red. I will keep this color for a couple weeks then change it to something else. What do you guys think on the color? I did red because I have the 40th anniversary so the interior and caliper are red so I went along with the theme.

Here are stock colored tower pictures







Here are pictures of the new powder coated one








There you go, hope you guys like.

Yes, the Nismo version has a badge as well. Right now I’ll head out to Pepboys to find the take or glue to stick the badge back on.

I agree. the anniversary editions become collector car's. They are worth more in there original form.
Never the less it's not mine and I do like the look of it.

Very true, but I got a full sponsor ship for this car, so I’ll keep all the original parts just in case for the future. But for now I will go ahead and build it up for SEMA.

I liked it better gray...unless you plan on driving with your hood up so it goes with the theme. Lol.
