G35xChicago Engine Bay Progression Thread

I'm pretty content with the exterior of my car for the time being...so on to the engine bay. Sorry for the bad quality pics, was testing out the camera on the iPhone 4 which I believe to be an improvement if i can just hold the damn thing steady. Thanks to Vivek and Levon for sourcing the polished parts!

Things on the agenda:
-**Sell Pop Charger/Z tube combo**
-Nismo oil and rad caps
-Paint tanks matte black
-Relocate VIN
-Mothers polish the AC lines
-Start replacing various fittings/clamps with stainless ones
-Braided hoses
-Remove any unneccessary parts (windshield fluid filler, misc brackets, guys help me out here.....)

Longer term stuff:
-Polish timing cover on car vs. buy one and attempt the swap
-Start tucking wires
-polished spacer and lower plenum
-Paint (and possibly mold) battery covers
-Paint some other stuff black
-Remove hood prop and get NRG hood dampers
-Steel tanks for coolant overflow and ps

Any other suggestions? What would u guys recommend I use to really make the polished goods shine?

Fujita, it sounds exactly the same to me.

My 1st choice was the Kurookie because the MAF /vacuum air are hidden below for a cleaner look. Too bad those are no longer available!

Paint those tanks, tuck some wires (fender ones first) and get some better oil and radiator caps
