Default Finally Some Engine Bay Mods
well finally got around to doing some much needed cleaning up under my hood, started by replacing all the bolts on the rad support with stainless bolts, then relocated the traction control. next i did the wire and hood latch mods. last i removed my nasty hood mat, and did a little cleaning. heres some pics tell me what you think. (sorry some of the pics suck)

that looks pretty good. you still have that one ground on the drivers side fender well, and the two grounds on the header panel. they can all be relocated without any extending or drilling, just use existing bolts.
