I been trying to look for anything anodized to make the engine stand out. Im an R/C fan, and it may not come as a surprise that Im into using A LOT of CF and anodized parts on my TA Nitro TC3 and HPI Nitro RTR. I have a stock pile of miniature aluminum bolts, screws and washers in anodized purple, red, and blue. I have small titanium springs anodized as well, and anodized threaded shocks in blue, and purple. I wish I could replicate this on my car, even though it might be pricey, but that's not a big issue. I've seen people use Earl's equipment heavily on the engine with braided lines, but im into colors besides red/purple. This was the pic which really got me to thinking about the possibilities that are available for anodizing stuff in the engine bay and elsewhere.
I don't know if some members have replicated what they do with r/c cars because of it being hella expensive, but anything you guys got would be great. I know that it shaves a lot of pounds and is stronger, so if you guys using CF with anodized bits, post them up.

 

very clean...more pictures of the bay?

 

Found great seat of anodized bolt kits, sprocket bolts, and anodized screws for cars in a variety of colors, but they aren't that cheap but definitely set the car apart.

 

where did you get the bolts and purple washers

 

Oh, the purple washers are from someone here on tech, I forgot his name for now. You can get those at any shop, luckily washers can fit on too, those from R/C buggy's. I like purple more for some reason.

 

If anyone wants to try this on their civic, just post any questions here. It's easy, just changing the bolts/nuts that type of thing, but it really does make a difference.

 

im looking for anodized purple lug nuts, but i cant find any, do you know of any?

 

i want the name of the guy selling the washers

ok, I sent an IM to donut., and they are special bolts/washers, so stop asking so much about them. He will come here and post about it, if not, then just make your own lol.
