Don't think I ever posted any pics in here. Still have to change a few things, but this is how it sits currently

Crimson - that looks awesome. Are some of the CF pieces wrapped or is it all hydrodipped?

what did you do to polish your AC unit? Also were the pieces painted with rattle can or spray gun? Obviously they were cleared but it looks so damn good.

For the AC condenser, I sanded with 800-1000-1500-2000, and then went over it with Mothers aluminum polish. for my first time polishing anything I'm happy with it, but I know I can get better results. Gonna pick up some Adams polish for the next time.

All of the paint was rattle canned.

I look at these pics and then look in my engine bay and wonder how I'd even start... so I just close the hood and try to forget about it
