What do you think of the new look?





















You didn't think they were going on my Z did you?

We picked them up last fall and we're going to put them on my girlfriend Stephanie(NSR240sxe)'s kouki s14 in the spring.

We painted them to match the valve cover

Here's a picture of the car they'll be going on....

Hope you liked the pictures

hey jerry, hate to break it to ya, but i think those are for a 300zx. so, with this new knowledge, i have no choice but to make you put them on your z instead. they will look quite nice with the white paint and the red interior. pink on Z32's=sexy.

cough.

They should look great on the car. We've got a big stockpile of parts that we've accumulated over the winter that are waiting to go on the car come spring

Matte black + pink = win. Think old challenger or panther pink 'cuda Pink definitely wouldn't look right on my Z though haha

Oh great - now the wife wants a 240 with matching pink accessories, thanks a lot!!

j/k - excellent job on the painting, should look pretty clean when it's all together. Here's hoping any painting I do in the future looks 1/2 as good as that!

Hell, I'd put pink calipers on a white z32, that's awesome.

They look great Jerry, what kind of paint did you use to do those?

Agreed and thank you!

Its VHT brand paint that I purchased at Summit Racing. They offer a hot pink engine paint. Good up to 1200 degrees if I remember right.
