Can't say I've ever seen an aluminum PVC hardline like that, I like it! Aluminum exhaust looks good too, you buy that from Grant?

I wish someone made wire tucks into a business... I would pay a few bucks for a clean engine bay.

Ah, I see the catch can, nice! I like the little cf pieces over the "fog light" holes. How are they attached?

I fiberglassed them in from the back with resin and fiberglass cloth. The link below shows better pictures of them,

I will post some better pictures of the catch can later in the week, It was my first time welding aluminum with my new TIG, so the welds are not the prettiest

Yes I am going to annodize it and then etch my user name into it as well, however I need to finish the drain section of it first. I will post pictures of it soon
