The top pic, Bryan's car, was custom made if I remember correctly, and like the pic said, for the 430. The second pic is a RMM CF engine cover, for the 400, so check the RMM website to see if it's still available.

thats true thomas, overall your car is amazing but to me its those small attention to detail settings that set it off even more.....you also forget im anally retentive so im constantly changing these that are ok to be better to appease my OCD self. either way never meant it as disrespect

i indeed had mine custom made, mine is the only one in the world made for a GS430,SC430, or LS430. it took me 6 months to get and a hefty price tag lol

whose bryan bing? its Brian.....

RMM cover isnt available anymore regardless of what the site says, i called RMM awhile about a year ago to try and get a RMM strut bar since it showed on the website and when i called they said they didnt have that or the cover anymore BUT its worth a try to call

thats a toss up....i think if joe did a wire tuck i would love his car more than adrians but adrians motor shot to me is perfect and im not typically a 2jz fan

Brian...i'm about attention to detail as well...so I did mention in a different thread that those parts are getting fixed...not sure your point of bringing it up here if you already read on the other thread. That's the point I'm trying to make. Talking to talk so that others will see you talk....LOL

enough ruining this AWESOME thread with your OCD and my flaws....back to engines. If you want to talk about my flaws, do it on my build thread. thanks.

Pics look great Poy. We gotta GTG very soon and finish off the CF pieces you've started here and get to that final version in time for WEKFEST SF.

I've seen his workmanship in person and it looks just as great. Note the cover in the brake fluid area as well.

Its not "cleaned up" yet but getting there. All the wires are there temporarily, but I will be moving the haltech to the glovebox. Also got a few pieces of bling to add and a little more cleaning up to do.
