Dmitry it's been a huge pleasure to work with you on this project over the last few years. I must say seeing the progression of your car overtime has really made me proud you chose us for most of your parts needs. This thing is a rolling work of art!

Picked up some of the parts from Tim @ The Powder Pro.
I picked the same wrinkle black finish that Tim uses to do all the parts for AMS. It's got a little texture, nothing crazy. Housing brackets in satin black same as lower oil pan. The rest was done in gloss clear powder. Tim had a great idea and did pearl black between the Precision logo on the housing. I loved the look, all the credit goes to Tim on that, his work is amazing. Super top notch. Anyone in northern Illinois, I highly recommend him.

Installed solid steering rack bushings this time.
We installed Daizen polyurethane bushings before, but then I replaced the rack with a new unit and never bothered to change out the stock rubber bushings,
My dad made a bracket for the oil dip stick to work with and clear the Hypertune. Works like a charm:

Finished up the engine wiring harness. Big thanks to my father (who is an electrician) for helping and doing most of the work on this project. I regret paying someone to do it the first time, when we inspected it (under the covers), the previous work quality was sub-par, not to mention all the issues we had with it when we installed it (ac not working, engine not firing, etc.). We redid the entire harness. Everything was also labeled (no pictures of that yet).

Next I mounted the proefi color display/logger. Went back and forth on where to mount this thing without it sticking out like a sore thumb. Very happy with how it came out. Looks very oem in person. Used simple mounting brackets and double side tape. Came out nice and sturdy.

Also made another 6spd shifter bezel with the opening relocated back. This one will allow for quick change of the leather boot (I plan to do a suede boot but have the option of using leather).
Mounted a USB port onto it for ProEFI logging.
Bought a spare ashtray assembly to play around with a while ago.Mounted my ProEFI iBoost switch where the cigarette lighter used to be (never used that thing anyway). Also mounted the line lock switch and indicator light where the ashtray was. Went for an oem stealthy look again with this, not trying to clutter up the cabin. Just needs to be sanded and painted!
