Dang, I am still waiting for the Saleen S/C to ship out from Underground Motors on the East Coast.

I recieved my Moroso Oil Separator and the Brenspeed S/C stage III upgrade kit.

I painted the Oil Separator black and the hose line clamps yellow (to match my car). I also painted the Steeda CAI heat shield black (it came as a a crappy white with generic print on it).

I will post pics of my install/work if someone can explaint how to have them show up in the thread.

I also intend on painting my valve covers, throttle body and fuel rails.

When will my f'in s/c arrive. Waiting sucks.

Yup, they said there were a couple parts missing. I asked them which ones and they weren't sure as the tech department (JDM?) would have that info.

So once they get the parts, it gets shipped.

ROFLMFAO!!! [sm=happybounce.gif][sm=laughat.gif]

You did NOT paint the white stuff with print, did you really?? That's just a plastic coating that's on the parts from when they cut them, it peels right off, and there's the regular stainless lookin stuff underneath it.

Well f*ck you very much.

The whole point of this thread is to seek help from fellow forum readers in installing my set up. I DID paint over the plastic coating. Looks fine to me. But thank you for making it clear that I am a f*ckin' idiot.

I am still gonna do my best installing everything and am sure I will be proud when all is said and done. For now, my tail is between my legs.

UPDATE: I git the s/c finally and am 90% done with install.

valve covers, oil separator, fuel rails,and TB painted.

S/c installed (thing ways a ton), oil separator installed, only thing left is water pump power wire, KB bap install, and download tune.

I also painted the brake calipers and replaced my upper strut mounts per the TSB.

It has been a task to say the least.

Took many pics and will explain how and where I screwed up.

My back is sore!
