Engine Bay Project Complete
i think black woulda looked better instead of the red but that just me. Im not a big fan of red anywhere. My car is nbm and silver is my accent everywhere. I think the black would flow better especially with your rims. but im not trying to take away from your car at all just my .02
just looked again to confirm and yea it would tie in the black on your frc's too. Paint the stb and valve cover black and i think it will make it look even cleaner and flow awesome...again not to insult your taste or anything bro!

black is the color i had them painted originally, and it did look good. but i guess i was wantin my accent color to pop a little more, and while red is what EVEYONE seems to do, i just thought it looked better than black. black is just so hard to keep clean too....and the valve covers are kinda a tight spot to get into to clean on. but i agree, black looks good here too.
That looks incredible! For a few more cheap easy things... pull the bracket for the AC drier and either paint it silver or have it ceramic-chrome coated, and hit the ABS block and lines either with some satin black or silver. Good job!
Looks awesome nice job!!!

whistler thats a good idea, i didnt think of painting the ABS or the lines, the lines will not polish up like i want and look crappy now, i may hit them with some satin black with a foam brush or somethin, thanks for that pointer! i may do that later on tongiht. yall keep the sugestions commin, im always looking to make this thing better!

Looks Awesome! I really wish there was a good write up on how to tuck wires. I am pretty ok with wiring. But when it comes to tucking and hiding stuff, I suck..I feel like im doing this all day

GReat job Kyles, would love to see a write up or stickey on how you did some of this stuff. The paint came out great, I have 0 skills when it comes to paint and color matching. Any pointers?
