Thanks AK. Yep, I'm actually on the group buy.

The whole engine bay should be themed with the color matched pearl white (my powder coater actually has a color that's a near-perfect match) and the illusion violet. The piece on the radiator cap that matches the bar is a billet-aluminum cover, one of several we worked on several months back. We're trying to come up with more ideas to prototype then take to market :tup:

Tower brace looks good I like me some purple! My other car even has purple harnesses :D

Might as well add some of my own now that the engine bay is not completely stock anymore. The only addition is a Stillen G3 intake powdercoated textured black to match my OEM+ theme with the car:

What kind of 0 to 60 does the car get with the Stillen Supercharger?

You should powder coat the band clamps black too (minus the threads)

I decided to go just a little "old school" on my tower brace. A local artist did the pinstriping on it along with the striping on the side and my pissed off bee on the back. I think he did a great job! It is amazing to watch a true artist do that stuff by hand.

How well does the paint hold? Is there a clear coat done after to protect your design?

Looks really sharp man!!

Azroadster 08-23-2010 10:26 PM

The guy that did the stripes and the bee said that the paint is damn near bullet proof. I make sure to keep it all polished, but no clear coat. It all seems to be holding up perfectly so far. Thanks for the comments.

Here are some pictures of my engine bay. It includes my custom Modshack intake (with Cobb intake tubes), custom painted Platinum Graphite engine, battery and brake covers, Stillen grounding kit and ZeeToyz engine caps. Enjoy!
