I thought you were tucking the main harness (its visible running over the valve covers)?

I know Marcus......stop getting on me lol....I was looking at all the other pictures after and realized I need to tuck it where the fuel rail is but I was scared at the time that it was too hot there.

what else should I change???

I know some bolts can be changed to stainless steel. also what u think about putting a breather on the front valve cover and plugging the manifold?

got a 2x2ft sheet from hpiworld. I've had it on only for two weeks with the car being driven around so its to short to say. the stuff is made to withstand heat up to 700 degrees I believe so it should be alright.

Mine has been done for 2-3 years and it hasn't faded.

Simply a beautiful thing. I haven't seen anything like it. You can tell you had your heart in that installation!

What are you guys doing with that coolant bypass line (the ugly in your face one in front of the motor)?

I want to remove it, but what's the process.

Is there anything special that has to be done to the radiator support before it's painted? I know fiberglass is a porous material.

Not on mine. I didn't cut anything though. Could that be why? I didn't separate any wires from the loom. I left everything as is.


2005 coupe 6mt if it means anything.

could be where you drilled your exit hole from the battery compartment. It is VERY important not to cut any wires (if that is what you meant). the side harnesses are a simple pull back and re-route. no loom cutting needed unless you wish to change your wire covering.
