A few months back I started an engine bay clean-up and have a few pics of my progress along the way. I did a small wire tuck, did some polishing, and added a few show pieces along the way.

Here is the bay about a week after I bought the car. You can notice the wires on the strut tower from the headlights, battery, and washer bottle.



Got bored one night and rerouted the driver's side headlight harness through the fender, alont with the washer fluid lines. I alsow painted the washer bottle flat black and added a header, ingition, pulleys and a few dress up parts.



Next I painted the wire cover gloss black, made some customer carbon fiber covers for the fuse boxes, and added a GReddy carbon kevlar cooling plate to clean up the rad area. At this point I was still to lazy to start messing with the wires an the pass. side.









Yesterday I finally had some free time to finish the pass. side. I ran the wires that I could throught the fender, shortened up some of the battery wires, and cleaned up the ground wires. The I degreesed the engine bay and used Meg's hot rims on the block and tranny case. After the bay was dry I used Meg's body scrub, cleaner wax, and Mother's Reflections wax on the painted parts. Finally I took a drymel and some polish and polished the p/s line and motor mount. Here's some finished pics.















...and some shots of the whole car:









Thanks for looking, comments/Questions welcome.

Everytime I post pics I get a on the wheels. Just out of curiosity what don't you guys like the size? style? color? I'm completely happy with them and thats what matters to me I was just wondering? Some constructive critisism is never a bad thing.

 

front lip looks like poop & the painted calipers..

 

Looks better!
