i think i will do like a half install...do one side in the new blots and whatnot and then take a pic so you can see the comparison side by side, got a few washers painted last night to get an idea of the color...

looking good dude. i I'm waiting for my strut bar to dry and then installing my bolts! i sprayed the bay all black and just that a lot looks sick. i can't wait for the small amount of color on the washers to change so much

nice can't wait to see it. its been raining here ever since i finished spraying. at least i got that far. but i would really like it to stop so i could at least put my intake back on so i could leave my dads house lol. i came here to use his big driveway and his hose (to clean the bay first) that i don't have at my apartment but now i think that was a mistake lol.

so i FINALLY got around to finishing the bay. work has been cray! so after putting most of the new bolts in i realized i forgot a few. so instead of flipping out (well i did flip out for a few minutes) i just took a small wire wheel and cleaned up the stock SS bolts. didn't come out too bad. for the washers i did the same color i did my calipers. code is "snakeskin green pearl". I'm pretty sure its the same that dodge uses for the viper and challenger. either way i wanted something different than the usual red, blue, and yellow. i think it looks great against the black. so here are a few pictures. enjoy! and thanks for the idea OP!

ps there will be a few posts for the pictures..
