- Stainless steel brake master cyllinder cover
- Stainless steel battery cover (custom)
- Stainless steel wiper bottle cover
- Blue el plate in slam panel
Oh and a couple of other changes (not pictured):

and the pictures (bit dark - will try and get some daytime ones soon):

Nup, panel was bought off topgun on the forum (brilliant fit - although he is in the UK). Have put an el plate off ebay underneath (about $20). The pictures dont do it justice actually. Turned out really well.

Looking real nice dwayne, how did you wire up the EL plate?

Comes with a little transformer. Just a positive and negative wire. Negative straight to earth. In my case ive wired the positive to a switch in the centre console.

Oh and ive covered the el plate with a thick felt as an insulator seeing as it sits directly above the radiator and will probably get quite hot. Didnt want to melt it.

Wait till you see the blue annodised allen key head bolts. Put about half of them on today with silver washers.

Yeah, would like to get the ends annodised blue. As for the fuse box, dont mind it the way it is actually.
On another note, made a bit of a mistake.....

. The CF bonnet I have sits lower where the battery cover is. At the moment, I cant close the bonnet.

Isnt completely covered. Needed to enclose it for cold induction purposes, so method to the madness.

I just may have a slam panel GPX MIVEC cut out that you can buy. As with Dstocks though will have to light up yourself very simple job
