Nice.. that valve cover looks awesome.

Yeah I really like the valve cover as well. Did you do the painting in your garage (on the bay, not the cover)? Looks good.Josh

Thats a really nice paint job, I love when people get into do it yourself type of jobs and come out with professional results....really nice and glossy, the orange color on the valve cover is different and sexy, good job man!!

[Loofee95SE]

I love that orange, reminds me of the Spicy Orange on the Mazdaspeed Proteges..

[kim]

Thank you everyone for your commets and support

GrubyFngaz - everything on the car was installed and painted by myself with some minor help from my brother

float_6969 - That is an FSR radiator

biosehnsucht - The paint is a Nissan orginal paint color, it is Z33 orange pearl metallic

[biosehnsucht]

That would have been the second color I'd say it looks like. I still think that the way it looks in the picture (which can never be really exactly how it looks in real life) it looks more like Spicy Orange, but I can see how it could easily be the 350Z color

Great job man. I never heard from you about your engine issues, so I assume you got it worked out. I'm going to try to paint my own car too, but I'm not so artistic, so It'll probably look like a kid's coloring book.

[float_6969]

At least it will be new paint!!!

thats looking awesome. good luck with it, hope all goes well. very nice work with the paint, i hope that when it comes time to repaint my car i can pull off something as good as that.

on the subject of paint, can i get a show of hands of people who think i should paint a huge japanese rising sun on the hood of my car just to be a huge fag? just trying to get a feel for how many people think i should and how many would stab me in the face with the first object they found..

I vote stabbage...

[r34 gtr]

ok then, i wont do it. your vote is the only one that really counts.

the concept is fun, but its the wrong car. my friend did it to a '87 300zx that he bought for $200. i just kinda wanted to recreate the "beast" but i would never do that with my car. its just too disgraceful. and my dad would probably rather die than let me do that.

[r34 gtr]

ok, something happened and the first reply didnt show up. then i replied again for the hell of it and both replies popped up. what the phizzuck nico, that was gay.

You should paint a flying transformer (I'd use Optimus Prime) on both sides. Oh how about a rising sun on the front and a setting sun on the back. Or did I miss the point?
