What color was that? I ordered the darkest blue from them and it came much lighter than your photo.

I ordered the “navy blue” one, it was towards the bottom or the choices and frankly I think it’s a little brighter than a real navy blue which is closer to being black than blue. When you look at the color choices it is third from the bottom.

I am a long term MG guy and their engines were red, so when I went to do a few things on the Solstice, I did this:

Looks great, my solstice is Ming blue & that’s why I went with the blue. Thought about the yellow for contrast but ended up going blue

Looking good under the hood is always a good thing.

My street engine in my Jensen CV8 (fibreglass body, 3300 lbs., 4 wheel disc brakes from 1962 - took Corvettes another 3 years to get the brakes and even then they offered a delete option so traditionalists could stick to drums - and a 383 Chrysler - I was responsible for adding the sixpack. (And yes, I did run an air cleaner in a plastic car!)

One of best uses of red in the engine bay I have seen. The use in one place draws the eye to it and compliments the rest of the components. And, yes, it looks right. Now I have to rethink adding color! You do realize you are helping the economy...

why would you not run an air cleaner in a plastic car?

Got a response back from DDM basically telling me to pi$$ off as the colors they have are it! Wow! Tried to get a venom in blue and same response from them! You think they would want to expand their business?? Go figure!

ya, the red charge tube sily cone elbos were pink...I really wanted blue..I should of got black but i didnt know the red was really pink..I tried to get a tunnel brace while they were on sale but they were out and told me the price was going way up on the next batch... count me out. I already have one but I have the coupe and the gxp...Ill probably out it on the gxp someday as Ive had it for 2 or 3 years now not installed. too much ther stuff to doo. perhaps Ill put it on when I put the 3" exhaust on. Ive got a coil cover too I may or may not put on. I seem to remember years ago they had some different sily cone colors...I think.

Where did you get the overflow tank?! It’s nice!

 

[yamahaSHO]

I previously asked about the wife as I saw your post on Facebook.


I think the coolest engine I've had was one of the SHO's I had years ago:

But I also really like the engine bay in my S2000:

My STi was pretty well done and clean, but it still looked like a mess of a Subaru...

FWIW, PerformanceAutoWerks also sells a tunnel brace. 3/8 inch @ $185. DDMs 3/8 is also $185.
