Default Done with my engine bay.... again...

Took over 2 years to finally get this engine bay the way I want it. I didn't feel like painted the valve covers and relocating the coils and whatnot so I just ordered some custom fuel rail covers. Here is a pic of the engine bay when I first got it and now.



Didn't feel like cleaning it all up. Nice and dusty.






I don't know why these two pics came out with a different tint to them.

Thanks guys. Stock paint on the shock towers. Yes it's the hotchkis one. I bought it awhile back when a sponsor was offering 25% off on hotchkis parts. It's like 300+ from hotchkis. I keep my engine bay clean. After every wash, I use the shammy and whipe down everything under the hood... besides the polished parts.
