I've been working on this for a couple weeks. I've finally gotten to a place where I wanted to post up some pics of my progress. My mom is a professional photographer, and the photos are quite large, so I'm just posting a link to her website.

Let me know what you guys think!

wow nice work man.. love it.. CLEAN.. where are you getting the hex bolts and such.. can you pm me the info and sizes.. thanks

 

me too!!

 

Its a small start... you want dress up, I'm your Huckleberry!! A couple of the different looks I've had in the past 3 years.

 

Thanks! The bolts are from two different distributors. The all blue ones on my engine cover are from dressupbolts.com and the ones with the blue washers are a kit from gallery fresh. I have all the sizes etc written down at home. I'll shoot you both pm's when I get back this afternoon.

 

 

^^^ I was hoping someone would get that!!!

 

Good start..clean.
I'm not much into the color thing.
I've done my engine in CF,blacks...alot of polished &brushed alluminum.
Goes well with my silverstone Z.

 

I've been wanted to make a thread to see where you guys get these bolts from. OP, I tried the sites you put up and some others as well, but I'm having a hard time getting the bolts for the strut bar only. If anyones knows a site or anything that will just sell the strut bar bolts (6 + 2 nuts) PM me plz. Good start BTW

 

I just purchased an engine bolt set from Champion Nissan in TX and then sent the out to be powdercoated. I've tried painting them too, but it doesn't hold up at all. Just make sure the powdercoater leaves the bottom of the bolt heads plain or they will come loose.

 

I would say you best bet at getting some strut bar bolts would be to contact the distributor directly. He may sell them individual sets. I did that through dress up bolts, but those aren't the ones I used for the strut bar, just the engine cover

 

you can get the stut bar bolts from Gallery. I bought the whole set but I'm sure they can get you the strut bar bolts by themselves.

 

i like the last one but could use a nose mod
