Re: Carbon-10
Also Last pic my caliper hits the LCA but I doubt this will be a problem as I still need to trim rack.

Looking good! Those wheels are killer.

Where did you get the smooth firewall panel? I like how the recess in the center was done.

Its been such a long time since I bought the headers but I remember they where a no name brand. I got them from a vendor at Good Guys and I was impressed with the quality of the headers. I will snap a pic this weekend

That would look good. I like the yellow zinc that grade 8 comes with standard with the black. If you like the chrome, look into polished stainless fasteners too to compare costs.

Re: Carbon-10
I think I would be afraid of cracking the chrome tightening them as tight as I would want them on a frame.

I was worried about that too then once chrome cracks then it will rust in turn it defeats the purpose.

The tensile strength on stainless is not comparable to Grade 8 being it is on the frame I want grade 8, but trust me I would love to run stainless.
