Now you just need to do a minor wire-tuck and that thing will look really good.

alright

not too bad, thres a couple wires left to hide. the red wire up on teh battery that probably goes to some big amp or something, thats ricey.

ditch the ebay 10dollar strut bar youre better off without it. really. same with the ebay intake. good start though.

man i hate sounding like a dick jsut tryin to steer ya in the right direction.

two air filters? the valve cover looks good, but would look better if the air filter was a less contrasting color

Is that a Spoon valve cover?!

Just playing. The bay looks clean, but for the valve cover and intake, to each their own.
