I installed the throttle cable cover and the balance tube today. I won't be installing the valve covers or timing belt covers till I have the engine out in August for new CHRA's and other things. Here's the engine bay (excuse the dirt and old color scheme):
 A closeup of the throttle cable cover. The strip down the middle is metal and was made by a trophy shop (way before TT.net started selling the stickers). Oh and does anyone have the link announcing the TCC stickers? I tried search to no avail (wanted to see what the various colors looked like, probably going to go with black).
 Here's a closeup of the balance tube mounting points. I've placed nylon washers underneath (5/16") to hopefully help with chip prevention.
 I may have the IAC tube, FPR, FPD, and coilpack brackets dipped in the future.
 And some side shots of the TCC showing modifications for the PCV pickup relocation.
 
When I have the engine out in August I'll have a black plenum to put on it and I'll most likely have the other 'yellow' parts hydro dipped to match.
 "The 300ZX Turbo is a dance; it's a song; it's rolling, roaring automotive art. There is no color that doesn't suit it. There is no mood-lifting chemical substance it can't replace." - Automobile Magazine
