Now THAT is an engine bay to envy! Gorgeous!

Have you thought about swapping the screen in the MAF for a saxonpc screen? Larger openings, still functional as an air straightener... I think it would work well considering the clear MTI lid.

Looks good. For the brake lines, I polished my factory ones. It's not hard, just takes a little time.

Any info on how to do this? Those ugly lines bother me lol. I really want to find someone who makes them. Maybe replace them with a braided line?

Thanks bud, Its funny you say that i just took off the eibach pro kit, it had lowered the car 1.5". i tried to like it but it was just not my cup of tea.
I think my only option would be to get an adjustable coil over, and lower just a hair.

The screen is mentioned in the external Gen 3 sub forum, its a big old thread in there... I have one on my 100mm maf car and one on my ported maf car. Actually I even had a clear lid on the 100mm maf, it looked good! And functioned of course.

Did you paint the interior parts yourself? I really like the black/glossy look.

Yes it is, i deleted the TCS and cig, thanks to emblem pros for the tcs cover.
and installed the engine push start mod. Couldnt stand the chrome ring so i dissassembeld the push button painted the ring and put it back together.

Thanks, here you go my freind:




Some simple shots i took this morning.




Emblem pros plate and engine push start button






Painted ac vent rings







Ceta seats and roll bar
(my uncle had a ceta, lost as a total loss. i ended up with the car,parted it out and run these as a tribute almost lol. besides they were much nicer than my old seats)







Visor delelte i found on ebay, well made







Engine bay





Im in the process of trying to make a cover for the hood latch/washer bottle area. im not good with working metal so its going slow. plan is to have a cover painted gloss black to hide the support and all that stuff but still have access to hood latch.
