im making a home made pipe to go from the bumper and up through the hole where the resonator was straight under the air filter, i've also got some stainless steel sheets in the garage that i might use to make a heat block aound the filter and heat wrap the pipe.

How about a very light dusting of black from afar over the orange?

Your engine bay's starting to look pretty hot ;-) I love the gold heat shield, and the rear light look good to bud, especially when lit 8)

I love the fact that everyone loves my heat shield its supposed to be silver but it was cheap heat resistant paint off eBay and after a few drives of burning smell it turned its lovely shade of gold.
The rear lights look like they have been done by masking off where the reflector is and been given a light spray over

The mesh colour difference doesn't stand out as much as I thought it would, or is that just a trick of the light on that pic?
Battery cover looks good. Did you put some red insulation tape under the writing like I did? to show up the VTEC better? :D
Much prefer those lights too 8-)
