Updated Engine Pics!

[COPPERFX]

Well the mod bug hit me today and I decided to paint my RAREJDM Harness Cover and GTSPEC Strut Brace Mounts....Added NRG Polished Hood Struts (mine were shot). Needless to say I think it came out great for a rattle can paint job. Additional mods pictured are: Stillen Intake, Weapon R Coolant Tank and Catch Can, Motordyne Spacer, Throttle Body Spacer, and Grounding Kit. Enjoy!

Lookin' great! What paint and color did you use? I want to do something like that to my stb, since the blue is an eye sore.

So clean. Love the color match

Thanks guys...the color match was so random. I was looking for color shifting paint and found high temp metallic burnt copper. Awesome find at Advanced Auto Parts.

Great look - love the matching. You have one of my favorite engine bays on the forum!

I like your grounding kit, but I think a few of the grounding points you have picked could be better. A couple of them are not giving as much benefit as they could be. To improve the electrical system, you want the shortest path to ground as possible tying factory grounding points to the kit wires.

Just under your harness cover there is a factory grounding point, then your kit about an inch away. Tying them to the same point will lower the resistance reading on a meter. I found that you can move two of the factory grounding points to a post UNDER the Rare JDM Harness cover, then link them to the grounding kit. Check out this post for reference:

If you are happy the way it is, cool. Your set-up won't hurt anything.

great job!
I remember seeing the burnt cooper color when I was shopping for paint ... looks good in your bay.
