Default Engine bay shot

I finally finished this last month. Here is a pic of the engine bay as is now. I plan to clean it up a little more this winter too maybe with the wire delete mod and just some simple things to make it look a little nicer. The color of the FRC is carmine red metallic (corvette color). I was a little disappointed on how the FRCs fit since they bend a bit, but I am over it. The painted intake was done by Griff (BADFNZ383) and it came out AWESOME so a big thanks to him!

That looks real nice good work.

With some wires out of the way it'll be awesome.

She's full weight down to the spare tire... minus the tire jack (I left that at LVD last year, hehe).
I honestly do not think I will ever do any weight reduction to this car. I just love the way it is right now. This might change when I get older/out of college and buy a car I like better (maybe a new camaro!?). Who knows!?

Just plain black, which everyone told me not to do! hehe. I think it came out great. If you have any other questions ask Griff (badfnz383) because he is the man that did it!

I've seen some improvement at least
Speaking of, 3 weekends ago I spent the whole day driving around and practicing to wot shift. I didn't do too bad at all (meaning I wasn't all over the rev limiter)

Weight reduction is like free HP though But, even I won't go to the point of removing bumper supports, stuff like that... last thign I want to happen is have some old lady rear end me someday and have the whole car fubar'd because of it. ( not that it probably wouldn't be anyway... but removing hte support... definately make things alot worse)
