Message	Lately Ive been thinking of random upgrades and minor things to do to the Z.. before this I painted my calipers black finally after many years of delay ! Decided to buy a couple cans of VHT wrinkle red and VHT wrinkle black and paint things on my day off. Its not perfection but I think it came out pretty good.. spent a lot of time degreasing and preparing surfaces. I let the plenum dry for 1 week before installing it... once it heated up and was under the hood for a couple hours the paint and wrinkles hardened up and looked better as you see in pics. The plenum itself is red, the coil pack tops are black, and I used caliper paint which didn't stick to the bolts like I figured it wouldn't.. so a SS bolt kit is on the order list. Also painted the cruise control actuator deal wrinkle black. It looks more red in person as I was using a camera phone .. :) **I am awaiting the NISSAN lettering and Twinturbo.net throttle cable stickers.. thats why they look kinda blah! ** 2 hrs into drying.. Instagram-like bandwagon jumping picture Overall a pretty good mod I can say for 20 bucks !! Thanks for checkin it out ! src="http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f192/drk93tt/Picture6.p ng">
