looks good. much better than before. I have a slight issue with stickers too (they're like my "thanks for the product" free advertisements), but they'll be gone eventually.

next weekend i'm planning on doing some clean-up work in my engine bay. I think i'll finally tackle the hidden wire mod and do some painting as well.

Yea I think that no matter what there will always be something someone don't like.... When the stickers finally start peeling and looking bad I prob won't replace them....

Yea it fits pretty good...the radiator cover is a little long other than that it looks like it was made for it...

Yea your right once they start peeling I won't replace them though.... the wire mod was really easy and made a huge difference....
i got a buddy of mine that does amazing paint work and he owes me a favor so he is going to my engine bay for me....should look a lot better....
