Project OVRKILL: The BLING Phase!!!
Looks great man!! Has been an inspiration and led me a little when I started wondering should I even make a change or what not! Hydro-graphics is about the coolest "new" thing! I found a local guy that has done some pieces for me and turned out great! I may have to follow your lead on the resevoirs!

Thanks Roberto! I see yours is shaping up nicely!
Been preoccupied recently with a few things outside this project lately but getting back to it very soon. Btw, I can finally remove those black covers in place of these billet beauties.
Ive always thought my car was well put together with a few small things only I noticed. Yep. I was wrong. Incredible build. Nice detail. I dont get on here much anymore but Im real curious about that hydro boost set up. I have a braking issue I cant find and Im starting to suspect the booster.

Less than yours for sure. Just as functional as yours now though 
Thanks Rick...been kind of stuck lately In that EVERYTHING seems to be custom, requires some kind of relocation or alteration. Work has been kickin my **** lately too, but with some time off on the horizon, should have some new updates VERY soon.

I've been following this thread for a little while, and this is my first time posting to the thread.
1). Though I'm not a fan of black (because you have to clean it so much), you car is just plain AWESOME! Forget the wipers! I honestly hope the car NEVER gets wet-other than an occasional wash, once per year or so.
2). As a guesstimate, how many man hours are invested in this car?
3). Love the details. I'm insanely jealous. Though it's not quite to the point of Jennifer Aniston naked, you're about as close as her "Vicky's Secret" undies are.
Finally, I think it's really cool you aren't doing any major body mods. Best to keep it looking "stock". Then when some punk kids pulls up next to you in his VTEC, you can shut him down in 30 feet. Absolutely SPECTACULAR!

To be honest, hatin the black too, lol. Everything else I own is white! Just somethin about those 10min of cleanliness of black is just sexy!
To answer your points in order:
1) Wipers wont be functional but will appear as they are and no...it wont see any "weather". I will have the driver side operational at some point. Nice winter project....along with the interior
2) Man hours including mine is crazy...as with the costs rolled up in this project, I stopped counting a loooooong time ago.
3) My favorite....love Ms Aniston and once this is done, Jenny will run a close second
. 
c'mon get this thing done! this has got to be one of the nicest (if not THEE nicest) builds i have ever seen. looks like you put 50k+ into this thing. i cant wait to see the finished product.
I bet that's not even close if you were to bill out his time spent! Very nice build indeed!
Return line is in place due a decided location for the fuel reg. Trying to keep things clean, I modified the stock retainers to accept the -6 line. Pleased on how it came out...
Speaking of fuel reg location, it took several trial and error positions but I FINALLY put it somewhere that made sense. So simple it's embarrassing how long it took to decide where it should go...
Note the reg bracket above....I made it out of a piece of aluminum stock laying around. Cut, bend, drill, radius, powder...done.
New valve covers are in place too. Naturally, nothing plug-n-play. Prototype gaskets from Cometic - production covers come with an o-ring style gasket....gonna be screwed if I have to pull these damn things, needed to find a oil fill and air breather too....which took weeks
Brakes are finally bolted up as well....another unexpected pain in the ***. Over torqued the bango bolt....a little....lol....oooops.

Still playing with things however....notice the brake lines from the master. The hydra boost puts them further forward then stock, gonna need new ones or re-bend the stockers.
Radiator should have been in place a week ago, but thanks to a clueless "tech support" team from a fastener supplier, all the hose clamps were the wrong size.
Ordered a BMR rad support too....got it and was slightly damaged in shipping. Decided to cosmetically tweak it anyway to so no biggy....should the results this week.
Engine compartment fasteners should be wrapped up this week. Cant wait to post those....
Much, much more to come....

Thanks for the additional pics, I really enjoy seeing your work and the clean results of that labor. Keep 'em coming and take as long as you need.
