Default Few pics of my ride
Just waxed her for a carshow, cleans up nice for 55K daily miles, even if I do say so myself

Special thanks to ChevyChad for the lid.

The outside looks good. The engine compartment needs to be dusted before a car show though. Got any pics of the inside?

I don't have any inside pics. And that is dusted compared to before.

I used to have my hood baffles out and it got pretty bad.

I'll see if I can clean it up more this winter when I install my polished intake.

Sleek lookin car, I love the lid. I didn't even notice the Ram Air under the fire until I looked real good at the close up. Looks good.

Go to the carwash and bring some spray bottles of simple green, and turtle wax (the stuff for rubber, plastic, leather, etc). With the engine running, open the hood and power wash the engine bay with water. Then go over it VERY heavily with the simple green. Spray it in every nook and cranny. Let it sit for 30 seconds - 1 minute. Now power wash the bay with water again. Then spray everything again, but with the turtle wax (or armor all or whatever) and then shut your hood (leave the car running still) and wash the rest of your car where you got overspray on it. Drive home and shut your car off. Open your hood and prepare to be mesmorized

Car looks really good man Glad you like the lid!

That lid will look even better than it already does once the engine bay is cleaned up. Once cleaned, they're pretty easy to maintain.

Ditto on that. It is just too black in contrast with everything else!

you should get some fuel rail covers and custom paint them like your intake, that way that cool flame airbrushing carries on elsewhere.
