Nice car ! Like the blacked out turn signal lenses and tail lights (what did you use for that) as well I like the louvred hood did you make those louvers or did you buy them like that.

Re: New pics of the vert

Pics of the motor and drivetrain. I have a 92 Z vert black on black but its not quite as perfect as yours. DAMN NICE CAR. How did you do the hood and are those two semi-hidden latches of some sort (more pictures of that also).

Re: New pics of the vert

That's one sweet looking ride. The black on black w/ blacked out tail lights / side markers really makes it look badass. One of the best 3rdGens I've seen. More pics would be great.

I live in Milpitas but work in South San Jose off Cottle road. I was hoping to check out your car during the July GTG cruise from SF to Santa Cruz but was out of town that weekend. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to check out your car at an upcoming NorCal event.

Re: New pics of the vert

Nice looking job tommy, i am jealous of that hood i wish i could buy one for my car. looks like you got the only one out there. the paint and the car looks so nice! my car went through the whole tuning process, but the guys who tuned my burned my trans up. So i am wait for them to repair their mistake. hopefully i get this cleared up we can meet up. i still think you should put the stainless longtubes on your car.

That's too bad about your tune! You need to get her up and going! In regards to the headers, I am currently looking for 1.75 size headers. I don't think long tubes will work because of ground clearance. I need shorties.
