I really like the look of that! Looks super and well executed. The steering wheel is hot.

Make sure to fix your lid and change the valve cover color!

I have a Carbon Fiber MTI lid which I love. I'll probably be selling it soon though.

yea i usually keep a microfiber cloth on top of the switch panel ( daily driver )which seems to be the area that attracts the most dust.

Looks good man. I love me some black ws6. What brand of steering wheel is that, and how much did it cost?

If you get the shifter painted black, that thing will fry your hands more than it already does. I have a Mach1 aluminum **** in my car, and it gets so effing hot in the summer, I can't even imagine a black one.

Jesus christ.. Everyone's a critic. Some people are WAY too soon to call things rice. So he has a light bar, so do I. Last time I checked it's 99.9% stock looking on the outside, how is it rice?

As for the engine bay, less is more. Paint a couple things, keep it clean, remove EGR, AIR, etc. Here's a pic of mine if you don't mind me posting it in your thread.



And a more recent pic, with a crappy camera..



Painted lid, valve covers, intake, coil packs, and just keeping it VERY clean in general. I scrubbed everything down with brillo pads and degreaser lol.

yea that is what i was thinking. wire mod, a good scrub, some wax on the wheel wells and the underside of the hood, and some polishing of the metal under there and it's going to look awesome you wouldn't believe the difference a polished ac condenser makes under there!

again, great looking car!
