CF Engine Cover Painted LR Installed

Picked up a 350Z CF Engine cover. Preferred it painted LR so I just got it back from the shop. Need to get my upper plenum out to Sean or go with Mikes mod.

Looks good Bruce. Like you said, you just need a polished plenum to complete the look.

Yup, I think that will complete it with a polished plenum. Let me know it you ever want to get rid of the Injen intake as you can't get the one you have anymore.

you should have put some LR clear coat over it to give it a red sheen..I find it a waste to buy CF then paint over all of it

but looks good nonetheless

Btw, for the SFL group, Danny hooked me up with this paint guy and he does great work. He was up in Orlando but is now working in a shop off Oakland Park Blvd. Great work at reasonable prices.

I got the CF cover for the same price as I would have an OEM 350Z cover. I had planned on painting the plastic one the same color so price wise, it was a wash.
