What site did you go to where you got the hood? I'm trying to find a cowl hood or a hood that sits higher through the middle.

It's always interesting to see different tastes when it comes to cars. Nice Z. How are you liking the 285/35 rears?

Thanks! The 285/35's are a good setup and I'd recommend it; got the 265/35 up front. Plenty of good tread on tires, but I'll have to decide when the time comes if I'll keep the same tire sizes. 9.5"+10.5" wheels.

Thanks, yeah it slams the checking acc. a lot harder as well, but once I get the mcr hood here and finished maybe (doubt it) I'll take a break on the spending, but you know how that goes with a Z hehe!

Outside of that wing, I like it! Also, is that a black intercooler showing through? I didn't think the Stillen HR SC kit had an intercooler.

Thanks! The sides fit excellent; a fair amount of fitting involved with bumper cover/diffuser though; actually quite a bit of labor involved their. Yeah I really like the sides.

Thanks ksuberk; well the wing is part of the Amuse body kit which I really like. Stillen's sc kit has a heat exchanger up front and the intercooler is actually inside of the manifold. Also, it was silver when new.

Thanks guys! Some of the pics have some funky reflections in them, but the car is polished up and with some red sand/rock around some of them aren't the best actual photos. With the mostly cloudy sky and changing light some pics look like the paint of the car is in 3 different colors like it was pieced together, but that is the nature of smb color and different lighting, you can look at the car and walk around to the other side and it looks like a different color, plus now the car has a lot of new angles on it.

Looking back at your thread, car has come a long way blue. You've taken a few jabs here and there but didn't leave the forum and stuck with it whereas most noobs would've left screaming I hate this place.

Now your car is a well built machine now inside out... props!

Question - is that a bullet atenna? A for effort homie.

Also don't even think about blacking out your head lights... I'll be the first to say no. My

Thanks a lot Stogey! No way on the black out head lights hehe! Yeah still got the bullet antena; cheap little thing I know, but I like it. The Jabs, well I gave back pretty well too and to that certain little crew, only makes me want to stay longer; not going anywhere. Thanks for the compliments Stogey420time!

Definitely a nice build! After seeing your MCR hood, I'm waiting on Bo from Bulletproof to send me the invoice. Lol Does the hood really emit steam from the vents? It seems we also have the same drivetrain setup minus the final gear.

Congrats for the order! Also, no steam, just heat waves that you can see.
