Painted some underhood pieces, carbon fiber, countersunk bolts, etc.

i bought the two carbon fiber pieces from HOLYWD a while back (thanks bro), had some paint matched up to it and painted the valve covers, fuel rails, and intake cover (which i also sanded smooth, no lines or 'powered by ford') two coats of paint, four coats of clear, wet sanded with 1000 grit, 3000 grit, then buffed. also got some countersunk allen head bolts to replace most of the 10mm bolts toward the front of the bay and on the fenders, also got spike nuts to go on the strut mounts (those come very close to the hood by the way, about 3-4mm clearance!!) and last but not least i self tapped a gas strut to replace the hood prop, i snatched it off the back hatch of a Toyota Sienna mini van. let me know what you think, i might have $30 in all this, just enough to pop the hood at shows now lol

So thats where my old cf rad cover. Looks good i should have kept it since i finally got a 500

that $30 was excluding the carbon fiber pieces by the way, they'll be more to come in the next couple months. i plan on putting a single turbo kit in it this winter and painting all the piping to match etc. so we'll see what happens. thanks for the love guys, that stuff used to be yours Gtcs07?

Downstarinc.com, the size is 6 x 1. It's a huge trend in the Honda/Import world (80% of my friends lol) just figured i'd borrow the style kind of, don't see too many domestics with stuff like that
