When the car came back from the body shop, they had lots of residue and oxidation on them, so I did polish them up. Once I get my metal sealer shipped in, I will hit them with a red scotch brite and take them back to the machined look, and then seal them up. All the other silver metal work in the engine bay is machined and natural finish, so that's what I am going to stay with. Thanks for the compliment!:thumbsup:

I took a tip out of "Payback's" thread and used red scotch brite on the valve covers and air cleaner and then sealed them up with Wizard's metal sealer. Worked great and cleaned up a lot of the scratches that would not polish out completely. I also decided to go away from the chrome trim ring around the headlights and just stay with the single polished ring that holds the headlight bulb in place. Everything else around the headlights would be black. I think it gives it a cleaner look and goes with the theme a little better.

Thanks guys....almost done. Just need to install the billet Marquez driving lights (wiring is all done) and the Anvil carbon front spoiler and that's about it.
(fingers crossed...knock on wood);)

So, got the Marquez billet LED driving/signal lights installed and the Anvil carbon chin spoiler in satin finish mounted up. The billet housings are veeery tight in the stock housing holes. I had to persuade the mounting tab locations for the stock lights a little to get them to slide in and seat properly. The Anvil chin spoiler has no mounting holes drilled, so I had to clamp it in position and then drill and bolt each spot with some stainless allen head bolts. Pretty happy with how everything came out.

Nice job.

i think its a standard metal one just painted.
driving lights look awesome but down the line i think you should looking into different headlights/housings as they the old style looks extra dated with those high end marquez gems and that sweet cf spoiler
every time i see pics of your car i just ooogle over that color!!!:thumbsup:

Nice job.

Thanks Greg. That bumper is actually a steel core I had welded up to the mounting brackets so I could shave the bolt heads. It was then powdercoated for durability and then color paint matched. Pretty happy with the look and an easier mod (cost wise) than an endura bumper.
