Mine was on the battery tender so I unplugged it and admired the engine bay (wiped it down yesterday)....mostly because it's only day two of all the plastic (dme and brake master covers and microcabin with wiring looms) back in place...the way it's supposed to be....

Here's a few more shots. From outside, door open, from inside with the some sunlight and the last one a few seconds later when it got a bit cloudy. Overall I'm very happy with how it turned out and I don't think the exterior colour would affect how it looks too much. Hope that helps!

Fundguy1 · 06-14-2016, 07:14 PM

Got the final tweeks done after the install. It's at 578/514 rwhp/rwtq now with 21 psi boost. Going to put in the higher boost program next couple days and redyno. Going for the VTT 2+ record Ghost has of 680 rwhp.

I'm thinking of doing the same to mine, does wrap look better than paint? I was thinking of painting them silver the color of the car.

Eat92nuggets · 06-14-2016, 08:35 PM

Mr. Bluecollarman, paint will have a much better finish, texture and depth/gloss to the pieces if done properly. However wrapping is easily reversible and not much equipment needed.

Dan Bilzerian · 06-15-2016, 01:19 AM

Finally replaced my water pump and thermostat after 114xxx miles with the help of NiNeTyOne. The coolant was black basically

The hoses were pretty hard to get off after being of there for 10 years lol

MR.BLUECOLLARMAN · 06-15-2016, 03:42 AM

Hey Nuggets how much wrap did it take for all the pieces? I want to wrap mine instead of painting them.

djjsarai · 06-15-2016, 03:57 AM

Installed new LEDs to compliment my interior more or less. I like them and think they go well with the theme of the car. Before and after photos. Add lights for the rear footwell too, plus thinking of adding under glow for shows. Custom headlights coming soon!

John 070 · 06-15-2016, 07:51 AM

I poked around under the hood to try to get a view of the accessory/serpentine belt...very hard to see it....have it in the back of my mind to replace it. I'm pretty sure it's just fine, but original and around 50.5k.....mine is a '07 so there is the subframe contact issue, but as somebody nicely explained, that's only 1/3 causes for a belt failure, the other 2 affect all N54's....
