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!

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)
