Looks great so far, it it were me I'd paint the throttle body the same color as the plenum. It just looks a little out of place back there like it is. Just my .02.

 

Been really contemplating this

https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/5879489791.html

Could be a nice flip or a engine swap to something else more fun

 

Yeah, throttle body was installed at the end of day 4 at night and I was like oh well I'll do it later, lol. One day I pulled a all day and night scenario and the Throttle Body connector I thought was another wire I thought I snipped or hid in the tuck. So I literally spent 2 hours chasing wires when I had the TB connector in my hand the whole time. I'm looking at different color grays/silvers. Want to find a route that's a paint that's close to chrome as possible. I'm gonna do everything and dress the engine up. What I'm not sure of is do I want an accent color or stay with the color of the car. I love orange but orange hoses aren't as easy to come by unless I go the sleeving route. So basically just gotta get more stuff to paint. TB will either painted chrome or my accent color.

Any ideas on power steering, coolant, and windshield reservoirs. They look horrible dispute being clean. So options are paint them, replace them with factory or the $75 chrome replacement s.

 

Both cars are beautiful but, I'd go with the gold.

 

^ His car is white! Silver for SURE!

 

No gold, it'll stand out better

 

I went with Gold don't worry if anyone is looking for Thermal DEI products btw Amazon has them for half off DEIs website plus Prime Shipping

 

Great minds think alike, thanks for the info because I plane on wrapping my intake.

 

Alb you could always go with getting the TB polished. I had one before the NWP TB and it looked great. If you were going with silver for the engine dress up I'd recommend SxExCx's polished aluminum tanks for the PS fluid and coolant overflow replacements. With gold it'd be baller to find gold tanks that match the gold you're already using but I don't know if they even exist. You could always buy Sean's and paint them but that seems like car blasphemy.........

 

Yea I purchased the throttle body already have to get it polished.

I just bought a polished timing cover and chrome plated cam covers they should be here Saturday

 

Painted brakes and swapped out to narrow steel lug nuts

 

Brakes look great, did you use the G2 caliper paint?

 

Looks good I would like to see those wheels in a silver or gray. What wheels are those. When I get my next big paycheck I'm gonna repaint calipers, bumper, side mirrors and wrap the chrome trim around doors.

 

I forgot to say what I did today. I decided to do the front turn signal mod which I advise everyone to do. No reason from the factory our side bumper lights aren't blinkers also.

A quick DIY for anyone wanting to do the front turn signal mod. Its one of the easiest beneficial mods anyone can do.

All it is instead of the horrible DIY on this forum. Passenger side blinker + wire tapped into the ground from the side marker light. Purple/White on passenger side and Green/White on drivers side. Cut the black ground wire which is 1 of 2 wires on your bumper light and wire that ground into the purple or green wire going into your blinker. Cap off the other end of the cut side marker cut wire and that's it.

 

Felt the car pulling strange figure I check the spark plugs and well...



Ac and Heat smelled a little funny figured I take a look the cabin filter. Probably was the oem filter car currently has 107k miles
