No kit, per se. Just looking at things one at a time as the ideas come to me.
VMS fender washers w/SS countersunk bolts. Gloss black for the ones on and near the radiator shroud, and the 3 on the engine cover, but gunmetal on the radiator overflow bin. And actually, the countersunks in the engine cover are Titanium.
Titanium washers in the two front engine cover bolts, with SS acorn nuts (Home Depot).
Titanium buttoncap bolts and washers for the four, large M8 bolts in the front cross-member, from DressUpBolts.com. (These look really nice, IMO.)
SS buttoncap bolts and washers for the vast variety of M6 bolts throughout, also from DressUpBolts.com.
Titanium M10 tapered-head bolts with titanium M10 nyloc nuts for the front strut tower brace, from ProBolt-USA.com.

BTW, TwoThree... followup: I picked up a can of VHT Gold Metallic and sprayed some things that I could lay down on the engine cover and get a live "eyeball" perspective on the idea. And it was just too gold for me, so I've put that project idea on the shelf for now.
Bummer, too, because I was pretty jazzed up to do it. I'll very likely revisit the idea in the future, but for now I've backed off.

Thanks, I'm probably going to eventually order the stainless kit from dressupbolts.com eventually. But that's later on lol. Have a decent list still.
It's definitely a goldish color. I personally just think the blue slate pulls it off really well since blue and yellow just pair well. Any other mods planned for your bay??

I'm looking at wheels and tires in the next 2-3 weeks, so pretty much holding all mods for now, them some coilovers. After that a cusco strut bar and takeda long tubes. I still want to do something with the black plastic as I said before. Just not sure if I should wrap it in 3M DiNoc or paint it gloss black??
