No offense, but to be honest with you, I think it looked better stock.
The stickers and emblems and all just don't appeal to me along with the clear lid. I never really liked em. Thats just me though. I think the !wire mod, !egr, and !air would be a nice improvement though.

To each his own. I like the stock look too, but i go to alot of cruise-ins and put her in some shows and those are all about being unique. I made that stuff myself so no one else in the world has the same thing as me, and i like that.

For the bird on the intake i drew up a program from a pic and cut it out on an edm wire machine. The battery cover i took a piece of aluminum and cut it to size and then ran a wire brush over it on the mill to create the brushed look and used the template from the bird i cut out to spray the design on. Got the lettering from a hobby store. The ls1 badge was another program i drew up for the edm. And thanks by the way.
