I think the engine bay is interesting, I could see how getting a proper color accurate picture would be difficult. maybe try pulling the battery cover out and put it in the direct sun to photograph.
My only comment is I really liked your chrome Infiniti emblems on the grille and trunk, thought it was a nice contrast piece. But tastes are subjective and as long as you are happy with it that's all that matters.

As far as the Emblems, again the color isn't representative, I'll see if I can get better pics there too
It's all a work in progress, as is life

Tough crowd. Some of you guys are the destroyer of dreams. With that said, I think it looks good. However, you seem to be a pretty talented diy'er, and I feel you sold yourself short, and could be better served doing a more demanding project.
I think it's good enough as is, but you could take it to a higher level. Maybe continue the carbon trend inside the engine bay using this technique.

just a quick note.. if you do or anyone else does decide on dip'in... you do not need to tape of the whole rear end when dip'in the rear emblem or anything for that matter, just tape of a square around the emblem and you will be good, once dried, the part on the paint will peel clean off.

Hey, brother... I'll say this: you got more huevos than I do. I wouldn't even TRY that.
In fact, since I like your CF accents so much, I have contacted someone who does that professionally to have my front lip, window trim, and maybe some other parts done for me. If I go through with it, I'll post peeetchers.

Thanks Red, interesting link, simple enough from the looks of it. I've see a few carbon fiber DIYs on youtube that look like they may be within reach, time will tell. For the time being I'm going to do more detailing, dress the hoses and rubber and see what turns up. Thanks for the kind words

I've had braided hoses before on a Jeep and I know what you're talking about.

True that ^ It's been awhile since I dipped anything so I was just paranoid
