Hey everyone. Wish I had pics of my car when I first got it but here we go. I've done about every bolt-on and appearance mod that I can, not to mention a few bolt ins. I did all the powder coating myself in my garage. Let me know what you think. PC'd valve covers, TB, MAF, coil brackets, HL and hood brackets. What else can I improve on?

i dont think theres much left to improove on the car looks aweosme. i couple guys have the airbrushed lids with the realistic flames...thats always cool. but and check out specialized stainless hes got some awesome stuff

realistic flames are awesome in the engine bay

To be honest, I think the TB and MAF would look better in black on your car

i think it would look better if you came and powdercoated my stuff! lol, no just kidding, but seriously haha
no that looks awesome!
the only thing that i think i would have done differently would be like brian said and either go all black for the MAF and TB, or reverse the colors so the TB is red and MAF is black... but still looks tons better than mine lol

I agree TB and MAF would look better in black. Now that you're done, learn how to buff those fenders and take the swirls out

It looks well detailed. i would have painted/powdercoated the valve covers red to help tie it all together.

Nice and clean, but I dont like the red MAF and TB, but thats just my opinion. Nice job though on the powdercoat!

too flashy for me

looks great. to be complete, i would paint the lid NBM, get some FRCs and paited them NBM w/ red accents, get black battery and fuse box covers, then paint the backsides of your headlights black. after that, replace all the caps with polished ones.

I like the red, ties in nice with the stb and battery. How bout relocating the coil packs to show off your work on the valve covers?

I think red msd coils would add to your engine bay, there isnt a overwhelming amount of red in it right now but it could use just a little more and it would be more semetrical<spell check... other then that looks good and clean to me.

tb and maf stick out....

If you're dead set on keeping the TB and MAF red, I'd paint the coil packs red as well and maybe some red MSD wires. With how glossy the red is now, it looks like there is not enough red under the hood to "balance it out".

No, I powder coated them matte black. Pretty much everything in my engine bay that I could get out was powdercoated either matte black or bright red. I may change the TB and MAF to silver but I like them the way they are for now. The theme of my car is NBM, a little silver, and a hint of red. Here's a pic of the outside so everyone can put it all together. Thank you for all your comments everyone. I appreciate them all. Keep 'em coming!
