i'll probably do satin. the polished stuff would look great but I don't have my hood open that much to be honest.

I am PRETTY sure that is (or is very similar to) what I had on my 240sx (satin black). It got all rusty after about a month. I was pretty bummed out. (side note, check out that brake booster placement... that was an RHD CONVERSION, lol... I'm a ricer)

Before:


After (don't hate on my manifold too much, it was my first one ever...):

Really? Those same people did my headers and they still look perfect after 4 years. Maybe a little bit of fading but nothing like that.

I'm not saying it's definitely the same place, but it just looked similar.

Well, just made it through the whole thread. Props, hopefully I'll see this thing this spring in person. Whats the pay like for a Mining Engineer? Also where did you go to school?(I think you may have mentioned this) Annnnnnd..the 3D printer headers blew my mind.

Good jorb. Tuning now?

[Farbin Kaiber]

I really think it needs a GT R badge, really. Maybe two small ones on the fenders where euro signals would go, but something.
