Looks sweet off the car but i dont think the engine bay will look great with the deep blue and black and aluminum. Guess its just me.

Again.....as I said earlier the bay will be black and blue. The timing cover, pulleys, and VCs will be done as well. The VCs and Timing cover will be black as well as the alternator and pulleys will be blue. Anyways, install didnt go bad. Made sure everything was torques to factory specs and scared me when we first started it up because it idled all funky. Turned out it was a vacum line loose then it idled fine. I didn't get to drive it yet as we have to belch the system for coolant and it got too late to start the car and wake th neighbors. Took us about 3 and half hours for everything. Here are some pics:

Looks nice.
Can't wait to read your review after driving it.
I didn't realize that powdercoating looked so shiny. I always thought it left a matte finish.

Depends on what you get. The guy that did the manifold had a ton of colors. Ther alternator and some othwer brackets ill be getting done in gloss black in a few weeks. When I buy my cams here soon, I will be doing the Timing cover black, and pulleys blue. The valve covers maybe black vut a nice glosss. They are harder to do though because they are composite.

Didnt say full assing it 
Just half...but to me, i dont like the blue throttle body...just looks odd. But not my car so i dont have to like it. My engine bay is gonna have a silver/gray/black theme to go with mostly everything thats already on the engine. DSG intake and plenum with polished throttle body, when i get an aftermarket intake manifold, i'll powdercoat it DSG and then have the brushed aluminum coolant and power steering fluid tanks and maybe moroso valve covers. Simple, yet showy.

What is wrong with hi-tech cams? I'm not throwing them in without springs or not tuning it so what's your point? Its either those cams or CMS stage IIs. I don't appreciate the ****ty comment.
