Really looks great man just keep it garaged or it wont last long ;)

:tup: no problem man

fold it??? it that possible without ruining the lip? find out on both bumper and lip because I was JUST ABOUT to get my front repainted but if yours is in GREAT condition and since ur symbol is shaved might work for me.... Let me know so i can now copy cat you lol

sorry for the late reply man.... i can get a qoute tomoro morning.... i didnt even know you replied..... honestly im not a fan of folding the lip.... but i know some companys fold the lip then the body shop has to pretty much un warp the folded part and prep and re paint it.....

btw guys im thinking of getting a carbon hood.... and roof maybe... this is really later on later on.... but just some fun ideas.... but instead of leaving it carbon im gonna paint it solid red... like everything so no carbon will show LOL JK im thinking of shooting red candy over it so it will look like red carbon... is that gay? or im just really bored and should just stop.... and stick with my set up and just save money....

I think you should get the Seibon TS Style Hood and leave the vents unpainted like me =)

ive always loved that hood only thing stopping me is that it rains alot here :( so wouldnt that make the motor super dirty? and would it be bad for the electrical components?

I don't drive the Z in the rain so it would not effect me. If I got caught in some rain I don't think I would worry to much anyway almost everything is covered with plastic. You can always find a covering around here anyway so I could pull off and see how much water was getting in. As for it getting dirty...probably will have to clean the motor area due to dust and dirt more often.

I thinking about the CF GT-R stlye hood, but it also rains it azz off here. Then I thought I could get the hood bring it to a local gasget/rubber company and get some removable plugs. Then keep them in the car just in case i'd get caught in the rain. Any thoughts????

^ That's an idea wouldn't hurt to contact them and see what they think.

I see no issues with a TS style hood, I am getting one, as long as your intake filters are covered properly.
Mine are up in the front passenger side so having a vented hood is not going to change anything.

Don't they make rain guards to help assist with channeling water away from the engine?

Some hoods do come with them, but i'm unsure about the one i'm thinking about. It's the one Trip has on his sliver Z.:yum:

theDreamer 03-28-2011 03:01 PM

Trip's has the Seibon GT-R hood.
