Dude, that engine bay is something else. The colors are wild. Really nice job.
Few questions/suggestions...
1. Tails. In those pictures, some of them look like you've taken your taillights apart and painted them. On your car with the dark green paint, you should do that. It'd look awesome to say the least.
2. The windshield washer bottle cap and other lids, did you just paint them?
3. What kind of paint did you use in the engine bay? That green on the heatshield, I'd be worried it would discolor.
4. You painted everything else man, paint your shift knob. I'm not kidding, it'd look good. You could even fill the crooked H in the center with another color, maybe the yellow you've been using? Then clearcoat the whole thing.
5. The seats you put in, how much for the brackets?
6. Clear corners. I usually don't notice, but on that dark color, I do. Get them clear corners.
Great work man, I'm inspired and have some new ideas now. Keep us informed!

Unless he's repainted them then the paint is holding up fine. I remember over a year ago the engine bay had some parts painted yellow and green.Looks good man.
I like it! The wheels are a better choice than the other ones.
Looking better than ever Hyper!

the taillights are carbon fiber so i dont think id really want to paint them but it is a good idea.
the engine bay paint is actually rather old its a ceramic heat temp paint so its held up awesome so far..
the seat brackets are from corbeau i beleave there about 79 dollars a bracket with the sliders they went in really easy..
keep an eye out for new pics already have new plans in the works
if anyone has any qyestions or needs help just ask wink

I think that the CF tails are just "Look alikes", I've been told before that it's not real CF, it's just molded to look like it. In a few of the pics it looks like you've got them painted to match the body and that looks REALLY good in my opinion.
I may have to look into that for mine...

There the same carbon fiber ones I have made my apc. There not real carbon fiber up close there not that great but far away there pretty cool. They almost look tinted when you have some distants between you and the car. Not even a week and mine got busted by the stupid neighbors 5year riding his back and slammed into my car. Well they didn't break but stretched the plastic covering so now looks like crap.
