Nice looking engine bays guys. Steve came in and pimp slapped everyone by posting his pics. Gotta love that SS. Even so, I'm going to go with Todd's ride. He's got the bling and a blower.

Here's what mine used to look like. It's nothing fancy like Todds or Steves. For some reason it was pretty fast though...not sure why.

Go here for how WE did it..

http://www.poltergeist.us/misc/WireMod/

There have been ways done without cutting wires but it involves drilling a LARGE hole (comparative)..

Really cleans the area up

I noticed a lot of these cars have polished out strut towers. How hard is it and what do I do and use to achieve the same results? All of these engine bay's look excellent and keep up the good work guys!!!

I believe that Hotchkis offers them in the high polished aluminum, they're a bit priecey though! (I think around $240 or more) I might consider one down the line, but I'll stick with my red powdercoated one for now.

Yep, XstaZ28 did it this way.. drill a hole large enough (oval) to fit the connector through.. If you really know what your doing I heard you can remove the connector with a special tool but im not sure about this..

Oh, my Hotchkis bar is chromed.. cost me all of $75 to get it done

No, Noo, No. I'm talkling about the actual strut towers, not the braces. They look just like the exterior of the car, nice and glossy.

No pics but I simply cleaned mine off and then put a layer of clearcoat on, the difference is amazing.
