Brian! DUDE shit looks fantastic. Way to take the fun out of it for the rest of us lol.

So, have you ever thought about this for your reservoirs?:
before

after



The black makes the reservoirs completely disappear from the engine bay. All while retaining the factory locations, quality, function, and fittament.
I just roughed them up a bit, used a plastic primer, then painted them with a few coats of duplicolor Trim Spray. Looks 100% like brand new factory ABS plastic. its not ultra glossy and retains that matte and slightly grainy factory molded plastic look.

Just a thought. Your shit looks so slick buddy. and the form definitely follows the function. biiiiiiiig thumbs up

Nice! The thread had a nice history and pics to read.

thanks for the kinda words.

Right now im gonna leave the reservoirs alone for a little while. Im most likely going to have a custom coolant reservoir fabbed up, I want it to be the same shape as the OEM one but be made of aluminum with AN fittings and have stainless fittings w/an external clear tube to see the level. I already found a good alumium power steering reservoir and I would just paint the windshield washer reservoir neck black.

looks f#cking dope Brian i cant wait to take a ride in this thing, i wish people could know how much work and pesonal sacrifice went into this build that started way back in 04' and im glad i was there to see it and help with what i could.

ive seen it go through 3 different exhaust manifolds, about 4 radiator setups, 2 intercoolers w/piping, 3 coilover setups, a couple of short blocks, a 3g tranny, evo tranny, wheels, tires, and the list goes on and on, not to mention the countless phone calls to me talking about "im gonna roll this thing off a cliff!" or my favorite "im gonna burn it to the ground!" when things werent working out. the goal was achieved homeboy and were gonna rock this spring.

Thanks bro. I couldnt have done alot of this without your help. Its funny that nearly every time we worked on the car that entailed you being under the car I would drop something on you, either a 10mm wrench, anti-freeze, trans fluid and oil on more than one occasion. Its amazing when I look back when I had my other G body kit'd up with neon windshield washer lights and stuff. It all changed the first time I rode in a fast turbo B-series 93 civic hatch, thats when I decided performance was my next phase.
