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!!

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!

From this past weekend (Williamsburg Cars & Coffee) this was the most upclose photo I've seen of my engine bay. Dummy that I am forgot to bring my camera.

Nice bays!

Tony, those headlights look sweet...

I have to post these cause I think these shots are so cool:

No, I can't show you what's under the hood of my 370Z, but I can show you what's through the hood.

Si. We're not going to give the car a purple overload, so the intake pipes and custom sheetmetal engine cover will be pearl white to match the car.

More pics here: A Slice of Raspberry Cheesecake in the Canyon

I'm going to get some engine bay pro shots once it's done next month.
