I would recommend that you relocate the EVAP solenoid and get a braided stainless fuel supply line...this way, you could ditch the ugly factory heat tape. Also, maybe look into replacing those brass fittings on the end of the rail with anodized or polished aluminum fittings (Aeroquip, Earl's, etc)...if they're available.

Here's an easy idea... peel off the stickers on the battery (I did and it looks much cleaner.) and also peel the stickers off the driver's side inner fender too.
Much, much cleaner that way. Nice, I'm a sucker for polished engine parts.

Man I love it. I love the way to the untrained eye the nitrous could go unnoticed. The only thing that really caught my eye that i thought needed to be changed, was the black crinkle finish on the Lid. I mean everything else is smooth, its either painted or chromes. I would recomend the clear lid or have your curret one painted SOM with some kind of emblem on it, maybe LS1 Motorsports or a Z28 or SS, just so its not a big empty SOM space. .02

Where did you get that silcone bellow? SLP
What is a SJM ABS delete kit. Any pics of it?
TB is polished.
I sent most of my chrome parts to a place in Texas, it's not cheap and the turn around time is about 2-3 weeks including shipping time.
Thanks for all the idea's and comments!
I have been kicking around the idea of getting a clear lid with a VERY unique sticker on it. What is the best way to protect the clear lids from scratching? Can you Zaino them?
As for painted FRC, I won't do that since I have chrome valve covers, chrome coil pack brackets, and SOM painted coil packs, don't want to cover it all up.
The battery mod will be taken care of soon, within 2 months.
The light grey bumper support, I'll get it painted sometime, but I have to talk to my painter and see what options I have, I don't want it to have a full gloss finish, maybe a semi gloss finish.
As far as the EVAP and Fuel lines, are there any kits for this, or do you have to go all custom, any pics/info?
The fittings at the end of the fuel rail needs to be out of sight, but not sure how I want to do it yet. What's the smallest AN line you get get? The end of the fuel rail is a 4 I think. Don't need anything for volume since, one is for the N20 fuel pressure switch and the other is the fuel pressurer sending unit.

One suggestion...the grey piece that runs above the windshield washer fluid res...paint that black (maybe with clear?) Looks out of place being the nasty grey that we all have
