Updated Pics of Engine Compartment

[WartHog]

You can see that I took off the radiator cover and painted it black, the front bumper attachment support and painted it NBM (they're usually gray and dingy) and painted the hood release bracket black too. I also relocated all visible grounds.

I also rerouted the TCS wire harness, retied and rerouted the harnesses coming from the PCM. Cleaned up the passenger side shock tower brace quite a bit. Did the !wire mod, but didn't have the clearance for the harnesses because the front's dropped so much.

Looks good Jim! I see 2 things you NEED to do though. !EGR and !AIR.

[WartHog]

Thanks Brian. Yeah, I need to learn how to do those mods. Will either one affect performance and anything?

[Ωmega]

Yea, I love the color combo, I wouldve never considered it, but its awesome. :cool:

[Enthusiast]

Hey it looks great but I have a question. Are your FRCs the same color as the lid. It appears the lid is a lil lighter or is it just the lighting?

[WartHog]

Chris, It's actually been evolving over almost a year. I work on it in spurts.

Enthusiast, thanks and good catch. It's the lighting and the lid has about 20 more coats of clear on it. lol

Omega, the color combo is the combo I was gonna use on the exterior too. I was going to have Hugger Orange hockey stripes and HO "Camaro" lettering in the rear insert, but after looking @ the pics and the car I'm really liking the white Z badges and lettering. I do love the Hugger Orange and NBM in the engine bay though.

Thanks a bunch. That's kinda what I thought. Some time this Summer (it on the "list" - lol).

[Firehawk 526]

Nice bay....I'll have some up in another month along w/other mods! Not as nice as yours, but a little bit diff

Can't wait to finish up the non-performance modifications, so I can update my gallery pics.

I have to say after you got your new wheels and they where only 16s and to drop it, you only did springs in the front and the heater hose mod in the rear, I really thought you where a "half asser" but after looking at your car more closely and seeing the engine bay I have fallen in love with it. Hats off to your attention to detail. I applaud you.

Man, I really do appreciate your candor and honesty. I am glad that you realized I am doing it "my way" (to borrow from Frank Sinatra). lol I really love my car, the way it looks and its "Attitude." I try to do everything the best way for what I'm going for on a limited amount of $$. Thank you sincerely for the good words and support.

Jim
