Tony was referred to them for a different item. In conversation, I mentioned that I was looking for rails without the logo. He said they make them for other companies and he could get me one. You'll need to call and speak with Jim. |

Big difference a what a few hours of sanding will do.
This was all done by hand, 120, 320, 400, 600 and the gray painters scotch bright. I test fitted it on the car and it looks REALLY nice. I relocating the harness that goes over it to feed the alternator. So that area is going to look really clean. Can't wait to show you guys. I have some stuff coming in the mail thats going to make your life a lot easier to relocate these harness. Stay tuned. |

Nathan, OMG!!! That bracket is beautiful! You could make some money polishing out parts...not that you would want to, I'm sure. Are you going to clear-coat the aluminum so that it stays looking that way?

So my newest present came in the mail yesterday - polished evap line. Hoping to install it today, but it's balls cold so that may not happen.
I got this lovely piece from member Nathan Moreno - who's totally awesome by the way If you haven't already, you need to check out his Project Cleaning the Clutter in Our Engine Bay Bay thread. It's insane how much detail he's putting into it, easily one of the top DIYs on here. These are some before & in progress pics of the evap line. Again, thank you so much Nathan. I'll post before/after pics once I get it installed |

Here the bracket installed:
Here you can see how I rerouted the harness under a cavity. Looks much cleaner without the harness running over the bracket. One more shot. I guess the only thing that stinks is that now the water pump and alternator bracket looks like crap. Oh No, I shouldn't had said that knowing myself that will be my next project. Factory exhaust stick out like a sore thumb, looking at different brands. Last edited by Moreno1; 02-08-2012 at 11:54 PM. |

I updated the OP with a listing of most of the parts I've used. I'm still working on getting all of them but, it's a start.

Nathan, when can we get a sneak peek at the 90 degree boots you're going to put over your injector connectors?
