Alright so iv'e been a little busy lately and haven't really done anything, but I was debating between black rims or white and finally made a decision. I think the badges are the next thing to go black. Also if anyone has suggestions for the best way to smoke taillights/side markers, thanks.

Yup. The bracket was a actually a straight piece of metal with holes that came with it. I just bent it to support off the battery tray and it works great with no bumping around. Another thing is it rest slightly on the radiator hose but barely. Ill post a pic of the bracket in the morning

Looking forward to seeing that, too. I also have the same intake and have been trying to figure out a way to keep it secure - right now, it's held with the liberal use of zipties - and no, I'm not posting a picture, lol. Does yours rub on the master cylinder?
Originally, I tried installing that metal bracket like you have, but with the drilled hole being on one end the only thing screwed on the battery tray, it couldn't carry the weight of the intake tube... yeah pics would be appreciated
No it's doesn't touch the cylinder
Alright so its been a long time since i've done anything due to considering selling the car. I decided not to, but instead to go all out and redo some stuff the right way instead of the cheap way. So the first thing I did was a full cat-back magnaflow system. I forgot to take pics before I installed it but these will do. Btw this system sounds amazing, real deep and not ricer status. The goal is to eventually be show-worthy, unfortunately to do everything I want is going to be like 3-6K. So I guess the key word is EVENTUALLY lol.
Here are some random current shots

I made a similar bracket for my intake. I am going to take mine off since the engine moves/rocks front to back and the battery tray does not I figure it is a bad idea since it will put stress on the intake system. I am going to move the bracket to an engine or tranny bolt instead.
good point, I never thought of that. I plan on buying the carbon fiber intake from protegegarage.com pretty soon, so I will def consider that when installing the new one.
Alright so a little update. Mr. Hat1018 is brilliant and this is what happens when you mount your SRI off of the battery tray.(Im holding it up for the pic. It was resting on the hose) Heat+constant rubbing=
To fix this I remounted the bracket, but this time attached to the engine and it holds it nicely away from the radiator hoses and the MC in the back.
And this is how it sits now

Hey was wondering if you installed new headlamp assemblies or cleaned them? they look very new. I must admit I'm a bit envious of your yellow paint, mine is started to get sun damage (fading etc., etc.) on the roof. But the car looks good overall. Are those HID's 8000k?
They are the stock lights, I used rubbing compound and a buffing wheel to clean them. The HID's are actually 10000k from amazon.
Nice, I bought the rubbing compound long time ago and forgot I had it. I just installed today kensun's, from amazon as well, 5000k's to replace my old burnt and blocky ballasts, waiting for night fall to try them out. Hopefully they last 4 years like my old ones.
Wow its been a long time, but hoping to start the year off right by hopefully buying these in the next little while http://www.memoryfab.com/wheels/used/20100621180346. Also should be getting a package shortly for some cool stuff in the interior.
