Default Underhood Bling from RPIdesign ...

....caps, fuse, alt, and plenum covers by Ed. Still need to attach the plenum and get with Josh (the power steering reservoir does not fit properly) other than that, I'm planning on a custom painted hood liner and painted radiator shroud.

Not trying to steal your thread, but my underhood "stuff" came from RPI and Nakidparts also (all except 1 or 2 anyway). Yours is looking great, wait until you get the radiator shroud, it makes a big difference... It brings all the color forward.

Very nice. I am trying to get mine together also. RPI has been great to deal with.

Thanks all :-) I really did have a good time putting this all together. The black custom chromed parts by Ed really help break up all the yellow. Also, I didn't realize that just mentioning Nakidparts in the title was against the rules.

Looks good, you should also consider painting your intake housing. Most of mine are from the same people:

Fixed the pictures, not sure what happened to the original ones.

Bapd77 - your shroud, is that two parts? Painted and SS?
