Default Under hood finished

Just finished with some detailing and mods under the hood. I got a LS6 intake and painted it NBM as well as the lid with brushed aluminum bird, relocated coils with home made kit, relocated my TCS, deleted AIR EGR, wire mod, strut bar, underdrive pulley, and katech tensionor, also painted TB and MAF black to match my lower air box and painted my valve covers as well. Oh yeah all done with a rattle can and alot of prep work. Let me know what you think.






Also removed door moldings


and tranny temp gauge

Looks Good, all the mods turned out well. Anyway to redo the stereo power wire closer to the fender and alot of guys relocate the grounds also. Looks like you put alot of work into it and it shows. Great job..!!

Edit: do you have a close up of the Katech?

Lookin Sharp! Now I can't wait to paint my lid! The gauges in the vents look bad *** man, but having that one vent of the three without a gauge makes it look a little lop sided

I know I just don't know what other gauge is really needed right now, I may do an oil pressure gauge but I would like to boost my setup so the last whole is on hold right now.
