Do those go overtop the original pedals or they replace them?

These replace the old ones since they are OEM

I got everything I needed for around $100. I purchased the brake pedal pad and the dead pedal new via discount Infiniti part stores and I got the accelerator used via eBay for a great price in great condition. I think it's worth it!

After my engine cover emblem fell off, I tried just about everything to find a replacement (short of buying a completely different cover).
​​​​​​
I had to think outside the box. I'm sure you'll know where I got the inspiration.

Made out of stainless, It's completely hand made (with a dremel) so it's not perfectly symmetrical, but I like it so much, I'm going to have a few laser cut so they'll be perfect (and the front will be slightly curved).

Anyway, I had a blast making it! (no pun intended, but it was sand blasted)

It's a local Z/G shop, Soho Motorsports... They'll be doing my tune on the 20th.

I'm local, I've been there, and I didn't even get the logo

Looks pretty good, and your engine bay cleanliness rivals Rochester's.

Soho Motorsports... S.M. there's an S on the left, then the entire thing makes an M. I thought it was clever.

If Rochester's is a 10 (it is), mine's only a 7/8. Of course I spruced it up for the photo

Haha! Throw some peanut shells on the cover and it would be complete!

Entcee... drop $25 on one of these (clean, without the engraved Z). You won't regret it.

I really did not come up with the idea, so sure!! I am getting some laser cut, maybe the forum would let me do a group buy. Could offer plain, brushed, etched, logo etched, etc..

Actually, I purchased the fluid cap set from them just the other day and was going to get that too, but they were out. He told me his machine shop called it quits, so he is looking for another.

In the meantime, blast your dipstick handle with black paint. Since it's a rubber textured surface, use a paint for plastics maybe. It won't look as nice as ZeeToyz's cover, but will still look better in black than yellow.

Four Stillen logos, huh? That seems like overkill. Maybe roll those couplers over so the logo is out of sight, and keep the stickers on your mid-pipes. Or ditch the red stickers too. Or do nothing... just thinking out loud. Your car, Entcee.
