Painted Intake Manifold Cover

I posted on the 2nd Gen Group about this, but I figured I should post it here too.

I have the entire article on my articles section of my website.
Check out the pictures:

Like I said on the other forums, I think it looks nicer kind of stock-like. Which is why I spent next to two hours sanding the letters and the edges out. But I do feel it was totally worth it. Shame I dont know any 2nd gen owners around here who would care to see it.

Hope you guys like it.

BLING! I took that off and put my old one back on! Was tired of being blinded by my bling plate everytime I opened the hood!

If you want to paint, polish the old one, I can do that to. Think of how my 300z calipers turned out

You put 300 Z calipers on your 92 Max SE?

What year calipers did you use? I assume 92...

I've been wanting to see if I could install some newer calipers/rotors/brakes
but haven't actually done any research as of yet...

300z 30mm calipers. 13" cobra rotors. Custom brackets. Custom brake lines. I was thinking this would work on a 2nd gen that was converted to 3-gen spindles etc.. Just some more "jury rigged" stuff I made. hehe

Actually they are polished. Since they are aluminum.
