I agree. Low gloss engine paint would look perfect on there.

Could also paint a few other parts.

the way the tuck was done was part of the give-away for me... I saw the entire harness out of the car labeled - I knew it would be a super clean stealth job!... plus the flat/matt black theme was mentioned by another homie in that group...

^I like the contrast of the gold stock bolts against the back parts but I agree with the black TB and black tanks. I am sure the intake setup was chosen for performance but I think the blacl "crinkle" finish Fujita intake would LOOK perfect with this setup.

^^^ I agree, I'm sure performance was considered as well - which is why I'm perplexed by his decision not to shield the intake

As for gold bolts, for bling I guess the contrast is good... I think this theme is stealth though.

Hmm, I did a double take because I recognized the bay but not the screenname... Phantom, indeed!



Really brings a smile to my face to see it all put together... excitedly looking forward to more, sir!

Bolts are not stock, don't remember what they are made out of but they are super light.

you cant chrome plastic... that could be vaporized aluminum process, to look like chrome, the same way they make black chrome emblems (but not actual chrome)... or could be chrome paint.

You can chrome plastic, but it is very expensive.

unless you're talking about spray-able chrome (like Gary Watson uses: http://www.creationsnchrome.com/what.html) - then I'm not aware of any process that can chrome plastic... more info please...
