Default Under hood bling

This car has went several different ways in the last 18 month's from NA'ed to Blown, which lead to getting blown up and now the TNT. These are some of the updated pics of it, need to finish cleaning it up, but she is about done.

Here is some of the engine pics.






Heater and AC delete


and for Blue the fuel line mod. Notice where they come to the fuel rail they are not hardly even noticeable.

My favorite part about under the hood of your car is definitly the valve covers.....they just say, " I mean business".

Love the hidden fuel line mod! I have been researching this mod for about a year now and still have not got around to doing it ...lol How did you do yours? Did you use steal braided lines or the fuel line repair kit from AutoZone? And did you use get rid of your evap?


Thnx David

Actually neither, those are the factory lines just rerouted. They worked out fine without spending a 100$ in fittings to do it.

Looks great! Do you have a write-up on how you relocated the stock fuel lines? I want to relocate mine, I just don't want to spend a pretty penny on lines and fittings.
