Not as gold as it comes out in the picture, it's a nice balance

Gotta throw some stainless steel hardware on that valve cover to make it pop, looks good though. What's going on with the vacuum line off the front of the manifold?

I probably will replace those ugly green nuts at some point. As far as the vacuum line in the front and the fpr line: I was hopeing nobody would notice lol. I ordered red 3.5mm line and 6mm line, but the 3.5mm was actually pink. So rather than rock pink I decided to try and cover the lines with the red 6mm, I think rocking the pink would look better. I ended up taking it off after this photo....and ordering actually red silicone hose to replace them

What type/where'd you get your hose from?

It's silicone, 3.5mm for the small stuff 6mm for the big stuff. A ton of websites sell it, the pink hose came from amazon (don't bother, not worth the money)

ECS sells vacuum hose. Not sure how their colour selection is, I just purchased black.

Haha hard to miss those massive vacuum lines! They look like breather hoses they're so large. I think the pink would look better. It'll look even better with red or black though.

Good luck finding stainless steel flanged nuts like are used on the valve cover. I'm using regular nuts with a washer beneath. Slightly more inconvenient, but oh well.

Got my new headlights today, they are clear cornered 2 piece projectors. And they are legit depo's instead of Chinese crap, I practically stole them for $80 shipped.

Nice pickup. Clear lenses make such a difference on all cars I think. So glad mine are clear lenses and that I was able to get the orange reflectors out.

Thanks, it makes the car look a lot cleaner and in the 21st century. This picture makes them look rather ricey but in the light they look really nice
