i wouldve taken a pic of the SF fuel rail, but i was messin around with the fuel pressure sender and broke the teflon seal, so its kinda messy under there at the moment. i think i got the leak under control, but ill find out tomorrow on my way to work! the fuel leak really pissed me off... but since its in, i can live with it...

looks real good

ur engine look clean and nice..what type of strut bar is that?? look good..

personally i would done a brighter color like Red or Blue or ORANGE...i dont see the point of painting it the same color it proll already was. sorry, but it still looks tight.

good job. i gotta paint mine soon too

Very clean, good job!

good job

VERY NICELY DONE!

nice

actually the GT covers are black so its not the same color, I think it looks AWESOME!!

ok cool i dont know much about 7th gens, but it would be hot in a different color

carbing strut.



im going for a clean look.

before pic:
[img48.exs.cx] and after pic [img61.exs.cx]

definite improvement -

- get a pic of the SF fuel rail too if you can... I'll be getting around to completing these two mods sometime soon as well

looks kinda like a GTS

L00ks nice Love the Carbon Fiber covers

what kind of paint did you use??? i wanna do somethin simular

It looks ok but man those carbon fiber pieces look terrible. I'll tell you what, if you mail them to me, I'll make sure they are properly disposed of and I'll send you my engine plastics. haha kidding. Looks really good!

That looks really really strong!!!!! How'd you do it BTW???? I want to do it to mine too...

Rob

anyways yes wonderfully done job

I like it!


And... Where did you get those Carbon Fiber piece?

clean mod

what strut bar is that??

i think he said that it was Carbing Strut.

your car looks great and so clean.

what paint did you use to paint your entire dash?

where you get that carbing strut?? how much??

good job...

Stock color is flat plastic black.

Where did you get that carbon fiber side panel?

Looks sweet man

where can i get the carbing strut bar too? isn't that the header that was painted, he said it was the Intake manifold?

the header on the GT is located in the backside of the engine. im not sure if the GTS' is the same way

for the Intake manifold, i used duplicolor paint from walmart, couple coats of primer, couple coats of paint, couple coats of clear coat. when i was taking my fuel rail out, some gas splashed onto the manifold. there were a few spots of paint that came off, so i just did a quick 'in engine' sprays, came out ok.

for the dash, i used duplicolor flat black and SEM silver metallic. no primer, no clear coat.

strut is carbing, got it for about $220 shipped.

Carbon Fiber plastics are IPT.

any other questions i missed... shoot me a pm and ill try to answer. thanks for the compliments!

Looks awesome.

Looks nice dude, mad props

looks good but uh... a little overboard with the carbon fiber

one can never go overboard with Carbon Fiber -

VERY NICE

looks really good man

looks good
