If you had her torn down, it would be a great time to paint the block.. I've never seen a 4th gen with a painted block, like they used to back in the old days. Looks great besides.

Looks badass but if i were you I would look into the coil relocation bracket from thunder racing. It will make those valve covers and your engine bay look a million times cleaner, just a suggestion though.

Maybe it's the picture, but the water pump pulley looks like an orange-ier shade of red than the fuel rails and throttle body. If you could get those to match, I think it would look more in line with the rest of the theme.

I would also paint the tensioner pulley, since everything else looks so nice.

Looks really sharp overall, though.

Looks really nice! Maybe paint the water pump the same annodized (sp) red as the covers and rails. It would really look nice then.

Is that actually anodized? or is it just the paint. I painted my valve covers with that stuff they sell at the auto parts store. Looks great but doesn't like heat, turned orange on the valve covers. The TB stayed red.
