Solid fabs here too. Admittedly I'm 4th gen not 5th, but FYI, the build is gorgeous, sounds lovely, obvious gains and £500 built from a jig. (They didn't need my car) Needed to notch the subframe, but as I say that's all in relation to a 4g of course.
Pics are in my thread (in my sig)

Ceramic coat when funds allow @Mercutio. I don't really want to put anything on it (it's too beautiful), but ceramic coating should preserve it the most.

I think you need to get it wrapped I don't know about the coating but because the pipes are quite high you will find the heat will burn the paint on the rocker cover

that's if yours is anything like mine

Got a pic of how close your is?...

Here's an idea of mine (fitted on edaniel's lude)...

Ceramic coating will help though.
