Looks pretty good. I bit to "carbon fibery" for my personal tastes, but still very nice. I've only sanded and painted my fuel rail covers and painted the flags on the air bridge. I imagine that must run very well. Looks like you have all the toys on there. I just finished up installing the heads. The clutch is next (farming that out though). Then maybe an 85mm MAF and bridge. Short of FI or a shortblock, I'm not sure what else you can throw on yours. Anyway nice ride.

Must look great in person with all the carbon fiber parts.

On another topic I noticed you posted a idling problem over on the Corvette forum, just wondering what work you did while it was down for six months? If the ildle relearn doesn't correct your problem I was thinking you might have an vacum leak.

Looks great, I have CF on my T/A. A CF NX bottle would finalize that deal.
