Very well done.

The plexiglass is a nice touch and the Radiator hose fits in perfectly:thumpsup: How hard was that to install(hose)?

PS-Is that just Carbon Fiber vinyl on the Fuse box?

that looks great! What did you do for those hoses and wiring? If covers where did you get them? I must say you win best NA motor bay, Kennedy wins 1st in FI motor bays. I give a big Also do you have a DIY on installing the oil catch can?

You must have one of the sexiest engine bays, im just starting to work on mine now, where did you get all the covers for the plugs and hoses if you don't mind me asking? it adds a nice touch.

I hope CT-Engineering has been working on a kit for the Type-S. You guys could certainly benefit from having one mated to those J35s.

thanks man! my GF says i've officially gone insane! she says "what are you gonna drive around w/out a hood?" should i? JK

the catch can was part of the plan it looked too empty there w/ the smaller battery, plus it gives the bay more bling!!!

haha! no, im insane but not that insane, but i will tell you this, no one here has them

ahhh, my wheel presure was low and i hit some fuckin construction on the road. my front passenger wheel has two nice bends they can easily be fixed. but i used this as a good excuse to get some new wheels. im prolly gonna fix it and keep them as an extra set, or sell them we'll see how these new one turn out. unfortunately i'll have to wait 8-10 weeks till they finish making them.
