Are you colorblind? Just curious.

Looks very clean, though.

I'm gonng have to say bc your car is Copperish and your engine bay is Teal...and full of Diamond plate, which by the way kills the look of your engine bay. Which by the way is probally trapping massive amounts of heat in your radiator with it wrapped around it like that.

OMG

I love it all, just that contrast in color from body to bay is hell IMO. Probably wayyyyy better in person. Then again, you can't say isht with what looks like a good bit of power.

I love it. I think your car looks sick! Did you build it all yourself? The only comment I can make is you need a spacer to flush up the rear. Other then that, I love it.

Did you get this off eBay?

absolutely beautiful, extremely clean . This is almost exactly the way I am doing my s14 ( wide-bodied clean paint and blacked out).

- though the engine bay made me do a double take. but that's not necessarily bad.

I too don't get the contrast b/t the ext. and engine bay colors. the diamond plate around the rad seems like a bad idea, esp. in hot FL. can't wait to see what #'s you post up. more details about motor/car (turbo, cams, suspension, etc.)

What is the manifold looking thing on the passenger side fender? Is the car on air or is it for something else. Sorry if this is something obvious just looks wierd.

Edit: looks like it is to clean up all the vacuum lines sorry didn't see the second picture of it and i haven't seen it set up like that before.

I see and I understand your comment.The color off the car is Atomic Orange, trust me in person when i open the hood it looks much better. About the heat atrapping on the engine trust me NOTHING AT ALL.

Once you get the rear flush, this will be a badass ride. That Sr looks like it can put down some numbers.

Diamond plate is stainless steel. Stainless steel is up to twenty times less thermally conductive than aluminum. Combine that with a turbo that has no effective route of cooling and you're asking for disaster.

I'm not going to ask you to remove it. I'm setting my stopwatch for when you'll start seeing the negative effects.
