Looks good. Id get rid of the air lid just being a cover and go w/ one of those aluminum rad supports with a hole cut in it for your intake tube. The side tanks on the rad and hoses are bothering me too, maybe its the dullness of the plastic and rubber. Everything has a gloss so its not blending well for me.
