Thanks man. Got the Bolts (Gallery dress up kit) from mynismo.com and I bought the ARC panel from someone on here used.

 

What did you use to coat the coolant overflow tank?

 

^ Not sure. Ask GTM. They had some place coat it with a carbon fiber film. I would not recommend having the whole thing covered. I can't see the fluid inside which is bad...I don't know if it's low or too high. I might have to get it re-done.

Thanks brah.

 

I figured I'd revive this thread with a link to the work I've been doing lately. I'd post individual pictures but they are extremely large files my mom took (she's a professional photographer). Here's a link to here website.

the intakes are powder coated Ice wrinkle black. I also used a combination of dress up bolts and gallery fresh bolt kits.

Your engine bay looks great! I really appreciate the subtlety of your work.

Do I see a grounding kit hidden in there? More info on that please.

 

Great eye! Yes there is a grounding kit hidden in the back there....I purchased it from a guy who makes them custom. His company is called RadioActive Motorsports

 

Need to update my pics. I built my own grounding kit as well. I just took Stillen's install directions and made a kit.

 

Looks great. Someone is in dire need if some blue Samco hoses!

 

I'm definitely getting silicon hoses, but I'm getting them in black, just to keep it subtle. I would love to get my hands on some of those infamous python locks in blue though!!!

 

You and me both bro. They look awesome. Not sure why they stopped making them

 

there's a butt load of money to be made for anyone who could come out with something similar

 

Just my work in progress...







Z1 Cooling plate. I'm going to wrapping in in carbon fiber in a few weeks.
Samco 4 piece hose set.
NRG Carbon Fiber Engine cover
Carbon Fiber Battery/ Cables Covers
Tanabe Strut Bar
Mishimito Radiator Cap
ZeeToyz Red Fluid Caps
Mishimito CF Oil Catch Can
CF Hood Dampers

 

does your Z1 plate get in the way of your hood being able to close? I've run into several fitment issues and am now about to cut the hole a little wider because my hood latch area keeps banging into the z1 plate.

I really like those carbon fiber covers! Still think you should get that gallery fresh bolt kit to finish everything off. Or the stainless steel kit from dress up bolts.

 

How are you guys polishing the timing chain and cam gear covers? You guys taking them off or doing it with them on the car?

And who makes that CF engine cover, battery and master cyl. covers? Im diggin it!

Does Z toys make the cap set in black? only seen them in blue or red...

 

Who sells the bolt kit? I'd love to see and maybe purchase. Also, yes I sometimes have issues with the hood. I can't really tell if it's the cooling plate or the Aerotech hood pins though. I gotta be real careful when closing hoping not to break anything.


I bought the CF engine cover from B2AutoDesigns here in the vendors section. By far my favorite vendor. The battery cover, etc. were bought through The Z Store I believe. I haven't seen any ZEEToys caps in black. Only silver, red and blue.

 

^yea same with me...i guess i might just cop the zilver ones..hmmm

 

I have two different sets on my car. A full Gallery Fresh bolt kit. and then on my engine cover I have a few bolts and nuts from dressupbolts.com

http://galleryfresh.com/
http://www.dressupbolts.com/

and my hood won't close at all..I'm going to have to cut the plate just to make it work. I have the stock hood tho

 

Wow, thanks for the links! I never thought of this. I'm going to research for a bit but I'm buying a dress up kit for sure!

 

More info on the Strut Bar please. I didnt know we had aftermarket ones available

 

Just replied to your PM.
