Here's mine...just added the strut brace and the CF engine cover this past weekend. At this point, it's all still a work in progress. Probably going to add one or two more small things and call it a day.

1.) Where can I find a step by step guide to painting the engine , battery, and brake covers? And where is the best place to buy paint? I thought I saw a link earlier, but can't find it.

The most exception work that I have seen is by ZPresence. It costs but his work is impeccable. ZPresence is from Florida.

2.) I've seen some other people's engine bays and they have some sweet caps on their fluid with a Z logo. Where do you get these?

Caps are available from Z-Toys.

I see you prefer the hood rod in the center vs the outter edge.
It holds better?

That manifold almost makes your engine look like an RB series inline 6 instead of a VQ V6. I like it.

I will only post this because I am waiting on a new motor that will have a ton of powder coated and painted parts. Hope to have new pics in a few weeks
