Looks a hell of a lot like my bay. You need some polished/brushed tanks from SxExCx in a bad way.

I'll get around to it. I'm pretty much putting the bay aside to work some other projects for the car. Planning on doing a lot of out of state shows next year.

I strongly recommend against installing the ES compression rod bushings. I got a set and they tore in less than two weeks. I replaced them and a few others with SPL and have been much happier.

Oh wow, no bueno Tim. I've had ES bushings for several months now, very happy with them so far.

Are these Ti bolts that you are burning yourself to change the color. I have toyed with the idea of doing this to some of my bolts

color matched my moldings and side view mirror bases... it was a pain in the *** taking those trim pieces off..SMH it was well worth doing it though..... i learned a lot doing it. doing door handles after Hurricane Sandy passes through. then installing jdm window visors.
