Everything is coming together Great! If you are going for the stock look paint the water pump if not I like the aluminum color. Breaks up a lot of the blue.

Unless you can work the originals to look flawless

They are pretty good but NOT flawless by any means. I didnt think Factory Chrome covers were Mirror shiny. Are they supposed to be?
