Default Recent appearance mods! I've been busy.

I've spent the last 2 weeks working on my engine bay, I removed everything from the engine bay, and repainted it. I painted my FAST 102 while i was at it. I installed the holley polished valve covers, I tried to to as much wiring clean up as i could, but i still have work to do there. I also installed a bunch of MBA products. Let me know what you guys think.

edit: I also deleted my a/c and installed a UMI tubular k-member.

That looks great. It's crazy how much deleting the a/c cleans up the engine bay. But I'll never delete mine as long as I live in Georgia lol

Hey Corey that looks like ****...j/k my brother. Your T/A is amazing, top to bottom. Engine build, rear diff build, it's all came together very well, great job.

Got any plans for the lid??

Funny you should ask about the lid, I picked up a MBA blue anodized radiator support, I want to use it, but I don't know what do for an air filter setup. I'd like to get rid of the lid/lower airbox altogether.
