since then, ive painted the back of my headlights, consolidated some wires togethers, got rid of my MAF for a SD tune, and also done the whistler headlight mod.

battery relocated to trunk, fuse boxes moved where AIR pump was, covers made from lexan. everything else is pretty much straight forward. all nuts/bolts/washers are stainless, all wiring is relocated that could be, all holes filled and shaved, and everything repainted obviously. also made the coil relocation kit myself, and did all the work in my garage at home including the paint.
The before and after pictures on this is amazing!

Some nice engine bays here. The cars with the ac delete look killer. I have always wanted to do it, but I feel I might regret it later.
