So they painted the letters on the VC silver as well? Nice. How much did that run?

Yes they're painted, even I have been working with powder coating I didn't make this VC by myself.

In previous works I just sanded the letters down but not this time, I really liked the surface prep too

The shop charged me around 85usd por this job, it has at least 2 layers one for the base gray and the tinted teal one.

This is not the first job but it's the most expensive, they notice that the VE VC is a lil bit taller than the regular DE

Still got some work to do

- Figure the intake pipes and wrap em up with some leftovers from the header wrap roll
- Bring the FSTB back
- Muffler shop, install both resonators and the muffler
- Power up the solenoids
- Rewire the window switch, instruction sheet was a mess

Now I'm breaking in the clutch as long it is brand new so the whole solenoid idea isn't a priority. I got rid of the cruise control temporarily, just while I make a new bracket that could hold both cables.

I'd like to get rid from the battery too aiming to gain some room for the intake but that will be after a few weeks.

For the next step I'll be installing my SR16VE cams and the N60 I just got and hello 8000RPM

This is a custom made bar, IIRC the design is from Neuspeed.

It's a very stiff bar, you can definetely tell the difference (at least with the regular eBay bar)

Cool. I haven't seen it before. It does look real solid.
