Looks good. Not sure I like the big swooping curve but it certainly doesn't look bad.

Why do you have two nozzles? I have never seen two nozzles and only have one kit. Did you have a seccond at some time?

Looks good and the hard lines look way better then braided. What bender did you use.

Looks pretty good. Get the other side done, and a hard line from the fuel rail to the solenoid, and it will look really good.... new stickers on the solenoids would make it even better

It's something that does take alot of pratice. But, be glad you can just do a 37 degree single flare with tube nuts.. double 45 degree flares suck compared to using the 37 degree/tube nut deal

Not a bad job for the first time. I agree with JL ws-6...now that you have hardlined that i'd go further and hardline the rest.

Hardline the purge. You really should have the purge solenoid right at the nitrous solenoid, so that way you're not wasting a bunch.... then you'd just have to run a hardline purge line out of the engine bay.

Hardline that fuel feed too, it will look a TON better with that loop of line out of there for that side. I think that's a 1/4 inch line you need there with a -6 fittings, if I remember right. Been a while since I have done one of those but I think that's what it was. Could be wrong though.
