    Custom Hood Liner now available

    There's a guy in Westland,MI (about 20 miles west of Detroit) that can make a hood liner that will fit the Z31. He needs a hood or a stencil made with the factory hood liner. Let me know so I can PM you the info. He can also do a group buy if there's enough interest.
    It's a 1/4" thick and needs to be glued in place with a spray adhesive. Custom decals can also be added.
    Really nice looking hood liner for about $100.

    Or I can order one (not made for the Z) and cut it to fit if he can't get a stencil of the OEM hood liner .

    They look great and all but I can't really justify spending 100 bucks on one when the money could be better spent on different parts.

    Racinjitter's gonna talk to him soon to get the ball rolling.
    Here's some Z's I thought would look nice in the center of the hood liner. It's an extra $15 I think. He can do em in a few different colors. I think Silver,white,red,blue,orange and maybe some others.

    I personally like the first one.

    btw you'll also want to supply a EPS/Vector version of said logo, or you'll get some shitty results when it's printed from a web-safe jpeg.

    He needs a jpeg,then he converts it to the proper format for printing the decals.
    Take a look at the pics of the hood liners. They look good to me.

    Me thinks use the z31 z with all the little dash marks around it like on the emblem.

    Those Z pix are just some examples. I'm sure you can get any style Z or decal you want.
    In a week or two we'll have all the details (price,decal choices,time frame,etc).

    If anybody has any other decal ideas just post the jpeg image here.

    I just thought of something since my Z is an 88. Do the 84-86 Z's have the same underhood support bracing and use the same hood liner?
