My 2011 Rebuild Thread
Like I said before I always thought you went the extra mile as far as engine bays are concerned. I would be interested in knowing where you got the black braided sleeving and how difficult it was etc.

I bought it from a seller on ebay named furryletters lol. It's split but had some extra material so the wires don't just pop out. Pretty easy to work with.

Painted the underbody today. Need to drop the rearend and hit those spots but you really can't see much of that anyways. It was hella fun spraying on my back and holding the gun every which angle I could to get it to spray. This is also Rustoleum Hammertone in black even though it actually comes out charcoal looking.
Everything is coming together nicely. I ordered a whole different set of stainless bolts and nice aluminum washers for the engine bay. I'm waiting on a new nitrous feed line to come in so I can route it to the back of the intake so holding off installing the motor until that comes in.

Thanks guys. I got the new bolts and washers that I'm going to use around the engine bay. In the pictures one of the washers is unpolished and the other I polished real quick along with the bolt. Still trying to decide if I want to leave them polished or not. I don't want it to blingy under the hood. I'm thinking about powder coating the washers gloss black and just polishing the bolts. Should look good against the white.

The ones in the pictures are the biggest of the three sizes i bought. Those are to replace the plastic push pins that secure the top of the bumper to the bumper support brace, then two for the bumper support brace to the latch bracket and two for the latch bracket to the mounting point on the radiator support.
The majority of the ones I bought were for 6mm bolts for the fenders and all the bolts on the radiator support. The 6mm washer is maybe an inch in diameter.
