So clean! Places the focus back on the motor and not on a bunch of clutter. Can you show a pic of where you located your battery grounds?

I think he just moved them to behind the headlights, if you search his posts I think he posted up a pic as soon as he moved the ground wires.

Engine bay and Car looks sick!

I am gonna start looking for a PCM cover now. I also want to change out the tranny dipstick, I hate that red end.


Thank you for the compliments though

did you have to cut any sheet metal to re-route the wires or anything? What exactly made it so difficult to do?

Yes you have to do cutting. There is a write up in the hall of fame stickies above on how to do it. My dremel literally blew up on me while doing this too, that was a lot of the PITA

oh that sucks. I saw josh had a kit that claims you dont have to cut anything so i figured maybe you would have gone another route other than cutting the metal up

That looks great. I did the same thing not too long ago and was quite happy with the results. Unfortunately, I have the traction control module still sitting there, which takes away from the appearance a little bit. Ignore the a/c condensor, as that was before I polished it.

Have you color matched your stuff Alchemist or is that an aluminum color, its hard for me to tell with this monitor. Either way it looks good.

I have tossed around the idea of color matching my STB/lid as well. The look I have now is good, and I am afraid to upset the color balance by changing it, but your scheme looks good.
