I got some detailing done today after work before I had to fix dinner.  

I managed to get the calipers sprayed in body color, decals applied, then clear coated and ready to get the photo-etch pieces tomorrow.

The Z-Tune cars come with a differential cooler and trans cooler that is rear mounted, so I ran some braided hose up to the trans area for a more realistic look as well. I also added a wash to the trans/transfer case as well.

I also sprayed the exhaust and fmic in Spaz Stix Chrome. After I sprayed the exhaust and let it bake in the dehydrator, I tried my hand at a new method (for me anyways) of heat staining the exhaust.  I am pretty pleased with the results for my first time, but I hope I didn’t over do it. I will do things a little differently on my next build, as I did learn a lot from doing so this time. 

I have included pics of everything that I used while doing the exhaust.

Tonight I got some more detailing work completed.

I managed to get the stencil airbrushed on the intercooler and then it mounted, as well as the front driveshaft carbon fiber decal made and applied, front suspension assembled, and one brake caliper photo etch parts applied and detailed.

I got all finished up today, and managed to take some pics along the way.
