G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods

That's it, I can't come to Cali now. I'm afraid if I look at your engine bay it will blind me. I keep asking myself "how can Marcus' car get better" and then I see updates like this.
Effin sick, that's all I can say.

Jeah buddy.
Thanks Chris. We had to remove the passenger heat shield to get one of the chrome brackets near the PS pump on so since we had it out Randy polished it.^+1 
Looks sweet Marcus. You going for top G35 engine bay in the world huh?
I like what you did with the blue stripe on the alternator. I did something similar with my first Trans Am. The older GM alternators are pretty easy to take apart and I painted it matte black with a gloss red stripe in the middle (on the coils like yours) to match the car. The alternators on those cars sit really high, so it was one of the first things you saw, and people really liked it.
Pity the G buries the alternator so low in the engine bay. Still it's a really nice way of addressing those last few remaining parts.
How much you got left? (Or should I not make you think about that?
)

As I polished/chrome more stuff, the parts there were not shiny stood out more.
I do have a couple things left to chrome, a few parts to swap, somethings to delete. Final phase of the engine bay will be done in time for GTG III, can't wait to show you guys what I have planned.

Thanks guys.
The Idler pulley isn't hard to swap out. If you remove the large one you'll need new belts.

Belts are blue, accent color
