Are you going to paint it with crazy krylon spray paint? I hear that's getting pretty popular

^^^^ yeah, if your lucky it will add like 20 HPs dawg!!!!!!

Why did you shave off the Nissan letters? Going incognito or what?

I say polish it with white tripoli and get that think looked chromed out...mmmm bling is hot, I hear it makes girls drop the pants too, I haven't seen it yet though. You could also powdercoat it blue, that'd be really nice too.

it has been done. cept it was a KAE-T. i wanted to polish mine but i dont have the time to do that. i would like to polish my intake manifold tho

Post by **EazyBreazy** » Thu Mar 04, 2004 4:54 pm

its very time consuming to do what i have done so far

Post by **whiterps13** » Thu Mar 04, 2004 4:54 pm

there was someone on here that sent you a powdercoated/polished cover for like $40 with your core. that seems cheap to me since alot of work is put into em..

Post by **EazyBreazy** » Thu Mar 04, 2004 4:54 pm

yeah but i can say i know how to do it and i can say i did it when it all boils down
