^the timing cover while on the car? I would say 5-15 hours depending on how detailed you get.

making your engine bay look nicer is very costly mainly because if you just do one part it looks like crap. And once you buy that one part you get the ball rolling and your screwed. I just wanted to run a 350z cover $50 and a polish plenum $200 and call it good but i have a feeling i will just keep going with this and end up killing my pocket.

Right with ya Turtle, I did exactly that...should've just left my hood closed!

Of course if either of us had snoop's bankroll, it would be no problem.

I'd start off on small detail stuff like the battery cover for reservoir tanks, hood dampers and flush washer and bolts.

I want to do this too, Nice contrast not crazy bling or full polish deal. A tuck would be great but thats costly as well. Nice stuff all the same....

^ you went for the ones that POP at you...

RARE JDM harness and plenum is the eye catcher, you gotta knock those 2 out of the park. The 3rd part should be the timing cover and then intake and small stuff.

Thats how i would do it reason why i wanted 350z cover was that it replaces/covers 2 parts the timing cover and the RARE JDM harness cover. So you can skip that and go to the intake and fluid bottles.

but my wallet is not big like that or WAS that big, LOL. i'm more focused on paying the car off
