Hey about the cover paint. I had it done at a body shop. I just told them I wanted it to be dark blue metallic. lol. They picked out the color from whatever paint they had left over. Got it done for really cheap.

But, I want to ask you. Looks like you have an aftermarket power steering tank. Just wondering where you got it and how you mounted it? Did you use the factory brackets or fab your own?

Man, I haven't heard from you in a while. Did you ever get the Fcon installed from that guy that was coming from out of state to tune youe car? The cover is sweet in CF but are you planning on doing any other pieces in Cf to go with the center piece?

Thanks for the info. These engines get hot so hopefully the paint will hold up. The reservoir is from Murray's Speed and Custom. The bracket I just bent some aluminum and polished it. I need something better. They have an online store I believe.

Bluelex, What's up man. I have been busy but still lurk from time to time. Hope all is well. Just happens to be that the guy is flying in on the 14th. So I won't be going to HIN , but my car will have the f-con
As for the carbon fiber, I have always liked the look but haven't found enough engine pieces to do it. After translating the japanese, the cover is like 400 bucks. I might just get it painted. Will update about the standalone. It better be good.....
