Default FRC's installed pics....

What a PITA! Biggest value to these darn things besides looks....They really quieted the valve train and injector noise considerably. I think some of the noise reduction though is because the air system went bye-bye <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> Oh yeah, I am consolidating/eliminating alot of the loom around the engine. I am wanting to place a red "LS1" decal on the MTI lid like I had on my Whisper ...yes or no?
Thanks for any input here good and bad.
Some bad lighting pics here...

Wow, now thats blue!

As for the LS-1 decal, I'd say "No" since you have the clear lid.

Looks pretty good man. I would like a different color for my own taste but your car is blue so its what you needed to use. Good work !

Thanks for comments guys. I have Eibach Pro series springs. They seem to have the right height for my ride. I want to go wider on the rear wheels, but am limited to the 9.5" rim w/ 315's. Unless I do some fender "massaging", which I am not crazy about. Oh yeah, I highly recommend the KYB AGX adjustable shocks on the rear set at setting 6.

very nice and very original, I love it when I see people use their own unique ideas, like many people would never think of going all blue, very nice work. As for the decal........no! U have the clear lid, don't put ne decals on that, man ur car is SSweet! Usually I would not like that much wire loom and I'm pretty sure most judges at car shows would not like it either, however, it just seems like it goes well with your ride. Good luck!

Yes I know the loom is a bit much and am changing. The tips are the ovals offered by Megs. Thanks again for the comments guys. Although I am still not convinced which way to go with the decal...oh well, just leave alone for now.
Have a great week all!
