b__sosick Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 that hood tops it off (what an amazing looking body!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Thanks guys. I ran it for awhile without the headlight covers (about a week anyway), but, I like the more "sinister" look the headlight covers give it. Hmm...what's next... Well, Now that I have a some black in the front of the car, I think I need to have a splash of black in the back also...I think I'm going to paint my spoiler black. I thought about racing stripes, but, I'll wait until the next paint job for the car before I do that. We're doing great RacerX! Thanks!! The hood (full supported version) costs $435 from 280Zone. He also produces a full pin on version for cheaper, but, I'd go for the supported version (which I did) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zfan Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Very good looking! Did you paint the hood yourself? I have a cowl hood on mine and don't want to spend the money to match my paint, ultra violet metallic pearl, Close to one grand to match/blend colors. I have thought about just painting it a nice black color myself. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd92gsx Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Well...I attempted to paint it myself, at first...but, in the end I ended up having dmsv8 paint it for me, after he explained everything I was doing wrong. Initially, I'd considered doing it the same red as my car...but, like you said, matching it would be difficult since I didn't know the exact paint color that was used on my car...so, that's why I decided to go black. The more I thought about it, the more going black on the hood appealed to me...but, I didn't want to just stop there, otherwise it would look like I had just forgotten to repaint the hood...so, that's where I got the ideas of getting the headlight covers. Now that I have some black on the front, though, I need to splash the back of the car with some black to even it out a little bit. I also painted my engine red/black when I installed it, so, I've tried to keep the red/black theme going throughout the car....I've also been looking at some red/black steering wheels.

blueovalz Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 All the parts worked out very well together. Great look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iskone Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Hmmm.... I'm gonna be needing a new hood. I wonder what that hood would look like on a white Z with black ZG's, black hood too. Isk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Now that is a hood I would buy if they were avaliable for the 280ZX's! Yeah Im jelious! LOL:violin: I dont know if painting the spoiler black will look good though, IMHO. I would paint the tail light panel black to match and leave it at that.

awd92gsx Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 I thought about just the taillight panel...but, from the side of the car, you see black in the front (because of the headlight covers and the cowl section of the hood) but, nothing towards the rear of the car... http://www.kpclan.com/pics/zside2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
