wires running around/hanging out, hid ballast/wiring is all funky.

Looks like a 'mickey-mouse' job to me.

The red wire is also distracting. Hide it or cover it up in a black wire loom.

I'd also loose the AEM badge/sticker and the graffiti on the valve cover.

Other than that, looks good.

Looks good except the little things others have posted, but I have a question...wouldn't it be better if you put the heat shield on the header so it will restrict more hot air going into your engine bay? And what did you use to clean the engine bay?

thats why the ballast is haning there i was taking eveerything out and im letting it air dry.........hopefully itll still work but last night after i cleaned the engine when i went to hit my lights neither of my hids turned on....and i noticed the one thats vbisible was throwing a spark everytime i would try to turn them on so im hopeing if they dry out they will get better....
