looks great :), the only thing I would be worried about is the zip ties getting soft from the heat and letting the hoses move and get closer to the pipes

Looks good.

I've never had any trouble with the Zip ties. Just keep an eye on them for breakage. Mine has been on for many years trouble free.

The black ones came with the kit.Im using Flitz and Blue away then regular chrome polish to finish it off.The high speed buffing wheel works the best.
Is there a trick to install the pipes with all those spacers?
