Looking good as always Marcus. Just think, in a mere 4 months Venice Beach will host another awesome event.

Probably not for Wekfest, I've got parts to install but no time. For Spocom and the Sedan GTG for sure. Just the last (yes, last for a while) round of mods in the engine bay.

All of the things I've done this year have been small...LOL. Just random parts chromed, polished and painted. Not cheap, but small details sometimes are costly.

^Depends on how far you want to go with the engine bay.

As far as OEM parts to polish/chrome at a minimum you should do:

Polished Upper Plenum
Polished Lower Plenum
Polished Throttle Body
Polished MD Spacer (if you have one)
Polished Timing Cover
Polished Cam Covers
Polished VTC Housings
Chrome Driver's side Coolant Pipe
Various bolts that can't be polished but only chromed, Danny should know which ones
Replace all (~110 at minimum, ~200 if you go all out) bolts with chromed/polished ones, you can do this over time

And if you want to go all out consider some or all of the following (I'm OCD when it comes to the engine bay, some of this stuff you can only see if you look real hard):
Polished Lower Collector
Polished Idler Pulley Bracket
Polished Alternator
Polished PS Pump
Chrome Pulley brackets
Chrome Pulleys
Chrome Hood Pin Bracket
Chrome PS Pump Bracket
Any other remaining bracket that can be chromed

Thanks homie.. there are a few totaled out g's and z's around here at performance shops and I'm sure I could get brackets and stuff. Do you have aftermarket pullys? Or your oem ones chromed?..

Chris, I have OEM pulleys that have been chromed. I was going to get a set of aftermarket pulleys but I would have wanted to chrome them anyway so I stuck with OEM. I was also able to get OEM cores for a great price from Heist.

Modified/Welded coolant pipes being sent out for chroming, wanted to get a before pic. I'll be able to delete the hose that runs across the timing cover once I install these. Thanks to Dave @ RareJDM for the pro welding job he did on these and RRYDE for prepping the items for chrome.
