I haven't installed the python clamps, the cap set is the second one that I've bought, the one's that I have installed are the ones without the Z emblem.
here's a couple of pics. the parts are not for sale, just be patient and sooner or later you'll find a set.

that's a pretty sweet lookin setup you have in there, ha that's alright can't blame a guy for tryin :P... i also notice you don't have your tower brace, is that because of the CF engine cover? or do you have a plenum spacer in therer or whats the case?

I haven't installed the strut bar because I'm still looking for something different that will fit the HR motor, most strut bars are made to fit the DE engine which sits a bit lower than the HR. they won't clear and I don't want to use spacers for the bar. I bought a couple of strut bars already which will require some modifications in order for them to clear, one option that I can go with is to have the OEM bar wrapped in CF but I feel it is just too much CF in my engine bay. there's no plenum spacer in there and still have a number of items that are not installed in.

I bought the Red Tenabe strut bar from another member, it still makes contact with the engine cover and the bend on the passenger side does not line up with the edge of the cover either. I also have the EVO-R carbon fiber bar which also does not clear the engine.

if your z is 03-06 it will fit just fine, it's the 07-08s with the HR engine that have clearance problems because the engine sits a bit higher.
