Wow. Who did that work, Chris? You? Love how the purple stripe fades to black.

Thank you John, I couldn't get the picture to post.

JP is doing the work, panamera shrouds, extra LEDs and the paint. He really faded it in nicely. Just waiting for the STI-R lenses to arrive so they can be sealed up. Tick rock, tick tick.

Couple other goodies came in, I need to suss out the iPad issue and update my build thread. New grounding kit went in and I picked up a Top Secret anniversary oil cap.

Geez Chris... Second set of headlights, one done by OnEighty and now by JP.. looks great, love how it came out and I love the eyelid *cough cough*

Yeah, I'll be selling the ONEighty lights once I swap these out. I figured I'd try the eyelid, see if looks as good in purple as it did in Orange. Big thing I wanted was the panamera shrouds though.

Now if I can decide on a grille I can wrap,that up for awhile.

ah I see, nice ! It looks good, nice idea on the faded eyelid, haven't thought of that althought not something I'd personally do. They might not be as eye catching as orange because it is a darker color but I'm sure they do appeal a whole lot more and definitely stand out more than without them and set it all nice apart and match the BBK calipers

Those look great Chris! I'm digging the purple and especially the fade. Very clean looking.

Nah. If I end up getting another G and I decide to do something with the headlights I'll probably do something similar to what JP did to your new ones. I'd just shave to figure out a color scheme to do with the MW...

Wow Chris, those look superb. JP really is THE MAN when it comes to custom work. Can't wait to see this installed and the panamera setup is going to be awesome.

Thank you sir! They came better than I had hoped. Looking forward to getting them installed.

Ah well, I tried :-)

Thank you Brad, he really did an awesome job! Between the two of us I'm not certain who is more excited to see them installed. He might be...

Here's a couple other pics of the lights and some other changes

Connor did a brilliant job on a new grounding kit for me


I tried this out


But I went with this

Chris, your engine bay is over the hump between effort and success. It's beautiful.

That Top Secret oil cap looks like a standard Nismo cap with a particular color scheme and a logo piece fitted into the center to raise it up level with the edge. First impression is that it looks like it belongs in your engine bay.

Thank you very much John, I appreciate the kind words.

There are just a few small tweaks I would like to make and then I think I'll be "done". I was on the fence between the ARC and TS cap but I felt like the TS was a better fit aesthically as well. I haven't toyed with the cap too much yet but I may try and swap out the hardware we'll see.

Buy some black wire loom at the hardware store, and trim up the MAF wires with the plastic loom and some black tape. It will look lots better.



And what's that green cap in the back? EVAP valve cover? Take that cap and spray it with some black plastic paint.

Lol now there's two more things! Great points though, thank you.

I'll be in there doing some wiring fairly soon. When the new lights go in I'll be installing new horns, I can add that to the list for that process. Struggling to decide on a grille direction now. Was thinking to go emblemless but now I'm thinking mesh....

Alright I need the hook up on the grounding kit, maybe in red? Also need the hook up on the headlights as well. Beautiful all the way around!

I'll let connor know you're looking. I'll be selling my Black Betty kit, just haven't photographed and posted it yet.

These headlights are being done by JP, I can't remember his handle... I think it's JPSBLACKG37s?
