I'll bite... what's that on your coolant overflow reservoir? Looks like a SS cover & cap.

We got a biter!

It's actually a full polished overflow tank. A complete replacement. The Power steering tank just has a polished cap though.

Got any close-ups and details about that PS cap?

Unfortunately I do not. I would definitely take some for you and will if you are still interested in a couple weeks but my car is stored still and not close by. If I remember to when I get it I will take some pics. The cap is nice, nothing really special and I had to file the edges underneath to fit it but I needed it to go along with the theme.

Got a couple of little additions on the way to spice up the bay. Can't wait to install when I get home!

Where did you get this? Was it custom made?

LOL almost the same thing I am doing.... Where did you ordered the CF covers?
I am getting red CF radiator shroud, battery cover, brake cover, red/black CF combo engine cover, Nismo Engine cap and radiator cap.
Getting my GTSPEC PC black with red on the bracket.

Did you order the red cap covers and the dressupbolts from dressupbolts.com? and how much for each? I was thinking of getting the same thing, but they didn't have red bolts...kkk Update us with the pic~

www.DressUpBolts.com

Excellent source for nuts & bolts engine bling. The buttoncap hex-head design on their SS and Titanium bolts is very appealing.

Chris provides great customer service, and they are very quick to make things right when an order is messed up. Good company.

I just responded to Kevalteam but I guess I should post it here too.

I got the Polished OF tank from Sean or SxExCx on driver. He custom makes them. There was a thread on here a while ago from maybe UA Motorsports saying that they make one too I am pretty sure. The titanium dress up full bolt kit I got along with the PS cap at dressupbolts.com but now thanks to Rochester may have to upgrade that PS tank cap to the one on the site he posted, much sexier! (thanks a lot for showing it ... Ignorance was bliss till you did that!)

I also have black Samco radiator hoses but they actually are not as black as I had hoped they would be. Oil cap and radiator cap are HKS.

Haha, thanks bud! That was the idea I had, nothing too crazy, just clean. And it is extremely clean at all times too. Trust me, you could eat off of that engine bay (but if you did I would f***ing kill you!)

I rather like the look of that aluminum PS cap, so if you swap for the ZeeToyz cap, shoot me a PM and some close-up pics to be sure, and I'll paypal you fairly.

I've got years and years ahead of me to mod the G, having only just bought it last month. However, here's pic of my recently sold Maxima, after 10 years of daily driving in Upstate NY. Off-topic a little, but it shows where my head is at when it comes to dress-up under the hood.

You can see here in this pic what I was talking about earlier with regard to stainless steel t-bolts on the radiator hoses. I need to do that with the G.
