Default Did some engine bay cleaning and painting.

Had some time to do some engine bay stuff while the 4l80e swap was in progress.
Things I did:
-Painted my fast intake sebring silver and the "FAST" black
-Painted PTM 90mm tb low gloss black
-Valve covers low gloss black
-Optima battery is now low gloss black
-Wire mod...which you cant really see
-Added a wet nitrous kit. It doesnt stick out like most other wet kits. I mounted everything out of the way.

What do you guys think?

Looks good. I need to paint my intake too, but I just don't feel like taking it off. I did paint my coilpack silver yesterday though

Looks like you have a catch can somewhere in there. Do you have more pictures of that setup? Looks pretty hidden

Looks good. I would peel those stickers off on the driver's side (belt diagram, ect..) I'd be interested to see how the Optima turned out.

Is that a serious question?? If you can't look at it and figure it out, then I don't know what to tell you
