Looks awesome. I'll be doing mine soon. Two questions for you, where did you hide the coils? And did you remove the evap stuff?

I hide the the coils under the engine mounts and relocated the evap solenoid to where the air pump use to be and just ran a hose up to the intake

To be honest I hate frc's...... my point in this build was to actually make the engine look more like an engine.

IMHO the only thing you need to do is polish the AC drier and it'd be perfect for the look you're going for. Everything else appears so shiny, and then you just have the brushed aluminum of the drier kinda sticking out like a sore thumb.

Looks good, the "Ram Air" under the airbox is pretty cool. Shoot me a PM if you want to sell the FRC's.

I would get a lid and paint it like the valve covers. That stock piece sticks out like a sore thumb with the rest of the bay looking so good.
